BluePearls:
I'm truly disappointed with Mi Max 2 specs
How can one pay $248 for a SD-625? They couldn't even up it to SD-626. All my wait in vain. Now people will snap up the remaining Mi Max in the market
Looks like Xiaomi prioritized battery life over performance, not too many people will be happy with this or going it (unless of-course, they decide to drop the price considerably....evil grin). I like the new look and all, but is it enough to tempt me to go for it? Thank you Xiaomi for making me more confused...

I foresee another Xiaomi device with the SD-660 but much later in the year.

Na redmi note 5 dey likely come out next.. And its sd variant na next year things..

Sd 660 go likely ship with am..

Gptech:

Obviously d quality of hardware dey better so price must go up, not justifying the high price sha, but imagine if na s660, you go pay almost $400?

How much is mi 6 with all the bells and whistle? There is even a silver edition on the way that is insane. Check Giztop for mi 6, 6gb ram and 64gn rom for just 399.99 usd. So, tell me wat again. And Mi max 2 doesn't have half of the bells and whistle of mi 6 o

Please, who dey use mi 6 here?

Ram that would be cut by half, when you begin use the device...

princetom1:


Sure, bt am willing to pay 300 usd for mi max 2 with Snapdragon 660. At the bolded, that's why they are called mid rangers. And that is why u have snapdragon 652 last year and snapdragon 660 this year and the helio x series.

Princetom1 this na business, u nr go make a device to crush the need for another, equipping the Mi Max 2 with S660 join d other specs list puts it at flagship level.

Shouldn't the latest be better than its predecessor?

Increase your budget to 130 usd and get a leeco cool 1 dual from a store that just opened this year February (still trying to get customer). That's a steal for that price.

This Leeco price is not bad for the specs o.. for that price its a steal

princetom1:


If there is anything leeco and xiaomi has taught us, is pricing. Lei Jun answering question on weibo last month said, it's possible to sell devices are crazily cheap prices because they don't pay money for advert much, online mostly and it cost just a fraction. After the tear down of major flagship like Samsung and Apple revealed that coat of production is always around 250 usd, den u will know that Sony sensor, gorilla glass, stereo speaker are just names to turn ur head. Even less known brands now use, amoled screen, sharp sensor and so on. Xiaomi seems to wanna join the band wagon of what they preach against now

The said teardown price does not take into account the time and money spent on research, software and transport, among others and it is still ongoing

As a side note, I hope you remembered that the redmi note 3 was more expensive than redmi note 4 even when the former was at the phasing out stage?

To be honest, dem no fall hand. This one has a better battery , speaker and sensor.

I believe it's turn by turn mi max was for heavy users while mi max 2 is for those looking for better battery life. Perhaps mi max 3 will return to the heavy users.

Whats battery life with a lower powered soc...?

From what I hear the mi Max was already a beast with what it had... They should have upped the soc and left the battery as it were..

Not this wan wey dem dey do.. Sd socs are battery friendly already.. If na mtk now I go understand..

Why downgrade the mi max then. They can just have leave it how it was and just cosmetic upgrade.

My point was for reference purpose only and imagine they just put 20 usd as gain and sell 10 million unit. U dig? Will money for research, logistic and all that won't come out?
