Xiaomi has previously shied away from releasing its most powerful smartphones in the Indian market, such as last year’s Mi 5s Plus, unveiled in September this year, so far either.
The Android 6.0 Marshmallow-based Xiaomi Mi Note 2 sports a 5.7-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) Oled dual-curved display and is powered by the 2.35GHz quad-core Snapdragon 821 Performance Edition SoC.

Also on board is the Aqstic audio processor, with 192kHz/24-bit Hi-Fi sound quality.
On the other hand, the Mi MAX is a concept smartphone that will be sold in limited quantities in China. Its highlight is the 6.4-inch bezel-less display that gives it a 91.3 percent screen-to-body ratio; along with that, the smartphone has a ceramic body and piezoelectric acoustic ceramic earpiece speaker.
