Xiaomi Launches the Mi Max: $230-$310, 6.4-inch, 4850 mAh, 7.5mm, Dual SIM

After posting several teasers on the official twitter feed, Xiaomi has now announced a large battery, large screen ‘smartphone’ that blurs the line between 7-inch tablets and 6-inch smartphone. The Mi Max is a step above the previous Mi Note devices, trying to combine the pervasive ‘thin’ design in modern smartphones while also adding plenty of battery life. The only way to effectively do this is to add area, so the final result is a 6.4-inch device.
