Got mine here for RM1009

MI Max 2 at RM1009 at Lazada

Hope some more tech savvy members here can share some tips and trick on making the best use of the Mi Max 2.

Do note that this is an import set and not official Malaysia Xiaomi set. So warranty a little more complicated. But it's almost RM200 less and you can get it within next few days. Not sure when the official set will land in bolehland.

this price is very dinamic. One day you see at 1099, next at 1049 then at 1009, now back to 1099. I asked at the thread and the reply was due to Lazada special promo that allowed them to sell at reduced price temporarily. So whoever is lucky will get at the cheaper price.

Agreed, I would also hang on to my Max 1 if I own one now till the next upgrade. But the Max 2 spec, reviews and performance is really compelling value for money, if you don't mind the size. If fact am looking forward to it's larger screen.

Confirm stereo la. Mi Max (1) is mono speaker, Mi Max 2 is stereo and very loud volume also.

Bravo bro!! Have you received your set already?

Yes, but no details of what the update is about. I'm planning to wait till the new stable global MIUI9 rom is rolled out to MM2.

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, 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"!!

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.

what's coc?

yes n yes.

oh... I thought it was something I must have missed. Can't help you there as I don't intend to install or play the game.

Welcome to the club. I'm sure you'll enjoy your new toy.

So far I've bought 4 Xiaomi sets. The first one was mi4i from Mi Malaysia set. After 2 months phone cannot make or receive calls. Brought it to Amcorp Mall for warranty claim, paid RM5 for parking and had to wait for about an hour to submit the set as there was a queue at that time. The centre don't only repair Xiaomi sets but also for other manufacturers. So can call Xiaomi specialist ka?

The next day received a call from service centre to collect set back as not under warranty due to water damage. I thought, WTF set never kena water or caught in rain how can water damage. Centre staff said can happen one. P*K*M*. Had to pay another RM5 to park at Amcorp Mall to collect my set back.

Next set Redmi Note 2, used for >2 years without a hitch. Bought AP set from DirectD. Still working fine, except that battery about to kaput di.

Next set Redmi 4 Prime, also AP set, also from DirectD. Almost a year now, set is beautiful.

Latest set MM2, also AP set. Bought online. Second month now, am loving it. Fingers crossed will last at least a year. Othewise, I consider still worth it as the savings is more the the premium price I would have to pay for the PKM Mi Malaysia set that don't honor their warranty (in my case anyway).

For for those who think that Mi Malaysia > than AP set, think again.

+5

So NightFelix, kalo got problem (touch wood) can ask sikit tolong ka?
