Not MIUI9 still

This is the third day I'm using this new toy and must say this is the best smartphone I've used to date. The size (6.44in) is not really that big. Can easily slip into my pocket. Doesn't weigh that much too. Must say the battery life is really #1.

What I like:
Battery life - no longer have to hug the wall plug or carry a powerbank arond;
Screen size - super crisp and nice to watch movie and read ebook and browse;
Speed is responsive (don't play games so can't comment);
Speakers - definitely stereo; it's awesome, just love the clarity especially when in landscape mode. Don't know why, but in potrait mode it's I think in mono.

What I don't like:
The regular USB connector /charger port is no more - now it's replaced by the newer Type-C connector; gosh now I can't share a cable with all my other android device. Guess it's for the better as newer devices will eventually have this port.

It's MIUI8 (8.5.2) - it's great, love it. Hope the 9 will be even better with split screen capability.

yes...

Mi also advertise it as you experience
earpiece will turn to speaker in landscape mode...

time to let go my mi max...

to those that got local set, is the charging cable 2 pin or 3 pin? thanks!
seem like a really good phone

Yes, it's really good when companies do not over hype or over claim the benefits of their products and then under deliver.

Oh yes, one more thing I really like is the Second Space (available on MIUI8), it's freaking awesome. It's like having two phones in one!! And it works so smoothly too.

Also another thing I like about the MM2 is the finger print sensor. Didn't expect it to work so well, fast and smooth. It's so easy to set up too. Allows multiple fingerprints too. Note you do not have to use your thumbprint, any finger will do, so the sensor location at the rear of the phone is great.

And yes, if you use Second Space, can use different fingerprints to log on to different Space from locked screen of from off mode. No need to double tap or switch on to log on straight to the desired Space. This works even if you don't have Second Space.

For around RM1K, it's really what I would call "Cheap n Good"!!

Hi guys, anyone here play clash of clan on their mi max 2? Need a very quick favour that takes not even a minute of your time to do some quick testing, before I sell off this new toy coz it didn't worked on mine ...been trying to ask around but nobody seem to be able to help...

whait is wrong?

Hi..basically the game stuck at cloud when nexting (not searching for base with the magnifying glass), but right after the magnifying glass disappears before it loads up enemy base layout, there is a 4-5 secs freeze which is not normal.. it doesn't freeze on my iPad/iPhone/ and even other older android devices doesn't have this problem.. if anyone could just login coc and see if you have this issue that'd be great, pic attached below:-



Btw I found a YouTube link on a Mi max 2 review, that guy tested on coc and his screen only freeze for about 1 sec which I think is normal..but 5 secs on mine is certainly obvious to be abnormal..

Fast forward to 7:33.

Thanks!

yours is my set?

3 pins

do u mind share some picture taken with Mi Max 2 Camera? Some review claims its outdoor low light pic very terrible, its seem like far from acceptable quality?

TQVM

Yes my set from lazada mi store... I just met a friend using redmi 3, imported and his one runs flawless, like not even 1 sec freeze at cloud...sigh

I'm not so much into photography, so my shots my not be a good representation of what the camera can do. Anyway just snapped a couple of night shots of the Penang Hill area.

Thanks!!! the panorama picture overall is quite good (compare with my RN2 which is sucks!) but lack of details
Low light picture at night, hmmm... i think is just okay, but quality wans't really acceptable.

Currently searching for my second phone to replace RN2, Mi Max 2 does catch my eyes on what it has to offer, but what hold me back is the camera quality (I love taking pic for recording of life memories)

But given 1199 price point, after seeing the picture, what I can say is give & take, arrghh, still undecided..

anyway, TQ very much for the pic, at least I have a better idea on the cam quality

U can active to full performance on the SETTINGs

BECAUSE THIS MIUI8 HAS LIMITED THE PERFORMANCE to Long battery life 🔋

SETTINGs ↣battery&performance

Hi, thanks..I went to battery -> performance -> hide system animations to increase the device's performance, after a quick reboot, I still get the same issue, nothing's changed at all...
