You have basically the best tech reviews on youtube , unlike some others who talk big words but i don't think are actual users of the products they review ,
Obviously, I meant to say, "I've had a lot of phones that have gone through my hands" Not past my hands lol I guess I speak Spanish too often and was really thinking "pasar por mis manos" ... If you speak two languages you'll know what I'm on about with these slip ups in your native tongue.
Você também tem vídeos em espanhol? Eu falo português e me agradaria muito aprender mais espanhol assistindo seus reviews, unindo o útil ao agradável kkkkkkkk
A long time ago yes, trouble is my level I don't think is good enough for these videos. Also, the reason is I put [English} in the titles is because normally on a new release phone all the other videos are in other languages hard to find one in English or native English.
Chris, I have been watching your reviews for more than a year, I always leave like and everyone of your videos are just great. Love them. You focus on specs, present the most important things without talking about nothing just to have longer video. Always waiting to have notification from your channel. Your channel is undervalued. Keep doing this. Greetings from Poland :)
thanks TT! by d way, do you have any idea if d rumor regarding mi max pro version will come out w 6gb ram and sd710? i think it might be the best upgrade if the rumor is true.
FINALLY Chris! Great to hear that Xiaomi continues building on Mi Max2 momentum by producing Mi Max 3 in spectacular way. I will definitely go for it. Well done Chris keep on your fantastic high techs review.
I've had this phone since Jan 2019 (this review was very convincing) and after nearly a year of ownership, I'm still hopelessly in love with it. I couldn't have been more happy with it. The only niggle I have is that, after the update to Android 9 the screen automatic lighting has been maladjusting in low to medium ambient lighting. Eventually, I had to turn off the function.
Totally agree mate. People are mad spending $1k+ on phones when ones like his are available. The flagship specs are total overkill for what most people need in a phone, they get caught up in the marketing and spec sheet and spend way more than they need to. I have a laptop and tablet to do anything more demanding than UA-cam and social media anyway. I bought the 4/64 and was so impressed I got the 6/128 as well. Had issues with auto brightness as well so turned it off, no worries. With Nova Launcher it's damn near perfect.
It's also about the aspect ratio, 7" usually meant 16:10 screen, it had significantly larger area than this screen and modern over 20:9 screens with notches are even smaller than that for the same diagonal size.
Plenty of reasons, a big jump from the Max 1 to Max 3 it's cameras will really wow you with the difference. Mines still running fine by the way just a little beat up
I'm watching this on my Mi Max 1. It's doing quite well but with slight latency now and then. Maybe I will update once more reviews are out (and if there are any sales).
The focus-hunting camera on the Mi Max 1 has been disappointing, so I'm looking forward to the performance increment demonstrated in your excellent video. Thanks.
Im glad i waited for awhile to get my perfect phone..this is the best for the price and the mics on the vid ohhhh,makes me weep to see Xiaomi finally getting it right
best phone for everything, its bigger, louder, clearer, longer.. i dont need a 1000 bucks ai phone to satisfy me, this gargantuan Mi Max 3! is my next phone!🤘👍👌⚡👊🔥💕💕
bro, i have been surfing internet,listening songs and watching videos.....for 2 days....then its battery came from fullcharge to 5%.... battery has blown my mind u wdnt regret if u buy this!
Quite a detailed review. Watching it on my Mi Max 2. Purchased it in September 2017, so it's now about 10 months old. No issues. Love the loud sound. If anything I would complain in the Mi Max 2 is the camera. Hopefully there are now major improvements. Still I would not be removing the Mi Max 2 so soon.
Great video.. I have the max 2 and was looking forward to this upgrade.. always go back to this device when I need that stellar battery life.. think I'll be getting the max 3 as I love the big screen and battery..
Why I never moved away from my Max 2, once you experience the great battery life it's hard to move away from it, even when I was using flagship phones. The Mix 2S almost replaced it, but no preferred the max 2.
Again a very good review as always ..You really deliver so Chris 1 question is the 2Gb extra worth the money or should i just get the normal 4Gb/64Gb model.
Not really worth it unless you plan to multitask a lot or need the extra 64GB storage. I'm ordering the 128GB model in blue as I want the extra RAM to make it as smooth as possible when I run a lot of apps at once and also because I can go over 64GB easy.
9:42 I see you installed the playstore in between shooting this video. Was it hard to get the playstore working or did you simply install some apk and it worked on the first try? If you did can you please share a link to the apk and if not can you make a tutorial video on how to get the playstore working? 10:48 what other important apps will not work (like whatsapp, youtube, etc) 14:44 in this section you talked about the global rom. Do you think it will be available as a update or would we need to do some workaround to get the global rom working? Another question is when do you think the global release will be because xiaomi still didn't tell a release date and my phone broke, but i want to have the luxury of having only stuff preinstalled i want and not needing to work a hour to get everything "globaly".
Bit late this, but I just got my max 3 2 hours ago nd playstore came preinstalled and I havent had any problems so far. Maybe it's software, maybe I just got the global version? Wouldn't have it imported from China or India
I always refer to your videos for xiaomi devices. Thanks a lot for great content mate. Keep it up. 👍 P.S. typing from Mi Max bought after watching your review on it.😉😁
Whenever there are new phones coming out; I always check your channel first if you have them already reviewed. Your reviews are way too awesome to be missed out. Thumbs up!

Thanks so much for this video! 💯 as always! Really hyped for the upcoming Honor Note 10! Will you be getting that phone when (& if) it launches? Please do a comparison! Would be greatly appreciated!
TechTablets.com Thanks for another excellent review. Could you tell me if USB-C to 3.5mm works on the 3 it doesn't work on the 2 even though they say it does.
Great video . Thank u so much for in depth review .. i love mi max series and i have currently mi max 2 and can't wait to get max 3 but it didn't lunch here in Egypt yet
I was wishing the rumors were true about the possible Pro version of this with the SD710 in it. Unfortunately, that didn't happen and came with a 636 instead of a 660. -__-)
KCZ7 you do know if you have seen the note series that is what the MI max series would be in terms of processor? Sd660 is much more expensive than sd636 and hey you can't have it all in a phone for this price range.
Tuntun AyaTosin its maybe a few dollars more expensive. Phone SOC's arent that expensive. The phone manufacturers just try to charge hundreds of dollars for a better chip. While they only pay a few dollars for such a chip.
yes used the max until the max 2, and now the max 2 until the max 3. Only the honor Note 10 might sway me away to other large phone but I highly doubt it. The max 3 for my needs it looking very good.
TechTablets.com what do you think about the note 10 (especially the price) ? I have the p20 pro and very impressed from thr camera. but I will probably sell it and get the max 3. yes that will make me not a small loss in price and I won't have the same good camera but i.simply can't get used to small screens ( I have Mediapad X2 and then Mi max 2 and now the p20 pro)
Great review as usual Chris. Last Spring, I bought the mi max 2 based on your reviews. I am very satisfied with the phone. It has all the qualities you have mentioned in your reviews. The camera is no very good but this not a priority for me. I would love to see a recommendation if the owners of max 2 should be considering upgrading to max 3.
At the end it was really a recommendation. I said this will be my new main phone. Replacing my Max 2. So far the step up in performance and cameras (espcially the cameras) has me keepign this for sure. So far it's really the perfect large phone for the price to me. For my own neeeds.
Considering my needs upgrading isn't much a priority Mostly am keen on the even bigger screen(although i prefer the 16:9 scale Mi Max 2 i understand the limitation they had on size when it comes to holding it and keeping such aspect ratio) and the bigger battery and SD card size(previous was supporting 128GB and the 3 is up to 256GB). I care very little about very detailed cameras and i don't need much more power than the Mi Max 2 at the moment really, even though more power is always good. I see myself keeping my Mi Max 2 a little longer and buying the Mi Max 3 some months down the line when the battery of my Mi Max 2 will start really showing it's age. Mi Max 3 is still a must buy replacement though because it really kept everything i loved from Mi Max 2 and improved. The IR blaster(very nice useful thing that i can't for the life of me get why it went out of fashion with many and why it isn't talked about more in phone reviews) is still there the big battery and screen are even bigger and the Sd card still there bigger and better and the double speaker stereo sound also there, so is the headphone jack. It lost nothing from the Mi Max 2, is not like it stop having a headphone jack(coughApplecough) or an SD card or IR blaster etc. everything loved about Mi Max 2 is there which is just awesome.
Anon ymous Completely agree man! Just love my mi max 2,once you go big u never come back i guess😂 Just ordered Mi Max 3 and just can't wait for it to arrive!
Not all Chinese companies are like that I heard. Some are interested in honest opinions. But it explains why you are still relatively small, or better: why some others are so big but say bla bla. When I watched your first videos they were not that good but now you are an absolute pro.
Thanks for the great review! I have one question, at 0:43 you mention Trading Shenzhen is selling the Global Rom version of this phone, how is that possible if Xiaomi hasn't officially released the Global Rom? Are they unlocking the bootloader and installing the rom unofficially? I'm just curious because I see a lot of sellers advertising the Mi Max 3 as having the Official Global Rom. Thanks for your time 🙂.
I've been rocking the same gold Mi Max 2 and I love it aside from the huge chin and bezel, bad camera and the mediocre screen, this new version seems to improve on that but I'm sure it'll be hella difficult to get in English yet again. Thanks to your review though I realise maybe I'm better off remaining with the Mi Max 2. What do you think?
Yeah and the less bezel looks way nicer. Wish the screen was improved. And yeah your comparisons show massive improvements in camera quality. I'll look into selling my Max 2 and getting the 3. Appreciate your detailed review.
Haha... feel you with the derision you got while having a phone call with huge phone. When i got my samsung note 2, people around still stuck with blackberry and nokia, so they mocked me with wash board of a phone in my ear. Now since most already embraced big screen phone, guess i'll step up the game and start calling people with my 10 inch galaxy tab a6.
www.themobileindian.com/news/xiaomi-mi-max-3-pro-existence-denied-by-the-company-23173 Was denied by the company itself. They could be lying, but I'll believe them until we see it.
Ordered Max 3 Chinese version. Let's see can I install Google Play for that. Mi Global (aliexpress) is processing my order. 4 days already. I would like them to ship it! .
It's easy search google in the Mi store, that is the google installer run it and it will install Play for you. Not hard at all. I cut it from the edit as it was too long. That and the fingerprint reader test.
And, for messing around : " YEAH, BUT THE DOOGEE MIX 8X SPECIAL EDITION GT has a 7282639mAh battery. 😍😍" *Better Search Engine Optimization when you have more comments 😜*
Chris another great video. Was really looking forward to you reviewing this Phone. Great going. When can we expect Mi A2's review? Hope that's coming our way soon too. Wishing you all the best. Keep it up
I know it will be more expensive but after seeing this review I'm going to wait and see what the Huawei Honor Note 10 is like. It's the same size, similar battery but has Amoled panel and a few other higher specs...... It will be announced on 31st July so excellent timing for us big phablet lovers.
What app are you using to pull up that GPS data? great review by the way, mine should be here early next week, can't wait! one last thing, do the rounded corners of the screen bother you? the Mi Max 2 had sharp corners.
or maybe because you have a black one, the shadows on the edge of the screen merge with the body color of the smartphone, so it looks as if there is no shadow 😁
Guacamole Work that's certainly plausible, but I just tested the idea by putting white paper on the top and bottom and I still don't see anything. I do however have one dead pixel right at the top of the screen so I guess I'm not that lucky 😅.
Well I'm the other lucky one I guess. No issue at all with my Mi max 2 screen. Although I did dipped the phone to oil based mixture (salsa verde) when I was cooking 😅. Tried to open it with suction cup (after released 2 T4 screws near charger port), and had to replace the buzzer which I ordered from eBay.
Hi mate :) At 15:14 you say its 4k shoot with EIS with default app however its shaky and then you record in open camera app with smooth video, however is it also 4k or is that 1080 ? :) Thanks awesome review
Unfortunately up until this point yes So many people are practically begging for a fourth model I'm currently using the Mi Max 2 and it's hard trying to go to any other phone at this point I plan on getting the third version later next year
Wonderful Chris at last!! Wow that dual pixel autofocus technology is mind-blowing for sure....and the clear way you prrsents is great!! One question, how do you feel it un hand? PS: that mi pad 4 looks gorgeous
Hi Chris, boy you're quick!! First review of the MiMax3 I seen! Thanks for another great review. I have a question: my wife has the MiMax2 and one thing I liked about it is talking with the speakerphone. Not only the speakers are loud, but also the other side of the conversation hear me well (I assume the microphones are good too) Can you please confirm if the Mi Max 3 is good as speakerphone as well? that people you talk with can hear you well if you put them on speaker? Thanks 😊
Awesome thanks Chris, been waiting for this review. Like you I really love my Mi Max 2 so this will be my next phone, but do you think it is worth it to upgrade straight away? Biggest thing would be the Camera I guess as I am not having any performance issues with the Max 2?
TechTablets.com oh boy :( it has full fledged manual mode..shod have waited for it...I just bought redmi note 5 pro...now I have to unlock bootloader and install manual mode supported camera app for the same
Hi Chris,great review as alaways! Now,you not say anything about stereo sonud on Max 3? Is it any? And second,how do you feel about display quality on Max3 compared to Max2? Some people say that Max3 has a "great punchy" colors display setup....how fo you feel about that? Thanks.
Yes I mention it, it has stereo sound and you get hights and some mids on the top speaker it' adds a little. The screen is very similar to my white Mi Max 2, when I had the black Mi Max 2 the screen was worse off. But it looks good for what it is an IPS at 6.9" not flagship grade but good overall. However not amazing.
TechTablets.com Ok,thank you :) my mistake,i miss the part in your review when you talking about stereo sound. I had a black Mi Max2,and displays been average,now on my Mi Mix2 is way beter,but i noticed some dimm/yelowish tint in lower position on display sometime....
Great review!!! How did you buy it? I have seen you are from spain as me, so I want to know the steps to buy it(type of send company) and have it soon, thank you so much!!
Awesome video, and welcome back Chris! Glad to finally see your video of this max sized phone!
Thanks
Mi Max 2 was my favorite phone. Max 3 is a good direction to think. Thanks!!!
You two both good youtubers review...but frankie tech..you still need learn from techtablet how to be pro review..he is master detail review...
No notch, dual SIM hybrid, headphone jack. This is a flagship in my book.
One of the reasons I don't keep the flagships as I really like to have 3.5mm jack, without it is a deal breaker for me.
TechTablets.com I just don't understand why manufacturers take this route. Is it just basic greed?
Hanif Badarudin Blame Apple for the no microSD no 3.5mm trend, I want more IO on my flagship, not less. (Grumbling at mipad4 for no MicroSD)
Flagship? The SOC is very weak. When gaming even the Mi Max 1 is faster....
Ronald De Regt the statement was meant to be ironic.
You have basically the best tech reviews on youtube , unlike some others who talk big words but i don't think are actual users of the products they review ,
*COUGH COUGH* unboxing therapy
Obviously, I meant to say, "I've had a lot of phones that have gone through my hands" Not past my hands lol I guess I speak Spanish too often and was really thinking "pasar por mis manos" ... If you speak two languages you'll know what I'm on about with these slip ups in your native tongue.
TechTablets.com it be like that sometimes
Yes same happens to me....greetings from Argentina
Você também tem vídeos em espanhol? Eu falo português e me agradaria muito aprender mais espanhol assistindo seus reviews, unindo o útil ao agradável kkkkkkkk
Out of interest, has there ever been Spanish content on your channel? I assume so because some of your videos have [English] in the title.
A long time ago yes, trouble is my level I don't think is good enough for these videos. Also, the reason is I put [English} in the titles is because normally on a new release phone all the other videos are in other languages hard to find one in English or native English.
Chris, I have been watching your reviews for more than a year, I always leave like and everyone of your videos are just great. Love them. You focus on specs, present the most important things without talking about nothing just to have longer video. Always waiting to have notification from your channel. Your channel is undervalued. Keep doing this. Greetings from Poland :)
Thank you. A lot don't like my longer reviews. But there are time codes and it's simply not just an unboxing, that is only 2 minutes of the video.
a much awaited review from the best reviewer, giving a complte details of the phone. planning an upgrade from mi max 1 to mi max 3
Well worth it going from Mi Max 1 to Max 3 is a big jump up in the camera and everything including the build.
thanks TT! by d way, do you have any idea if d rumor regarding mi max pro version will come out w 6gb ram and sd710? i think it might be the best upgrade if the rumor is true.
Don't upgrade... I also have mi max 1... Doing better!! Wait for next Mi max coming early 2019
FINALLY Chris! Great to hear that Xiaomi continues building on Mi Max2 momentum by producing Mi Max 3 in spectacular way. I will definitely go for it. Well done Chris keep on your fantastic high techs review.
Appreciate the effort and thoroughness in your reviews! Also I love the follow-up reviews you do after you've used it a while. Keep it up dude!
I've had this phone since Jan 2019 (this review was very convincing) and after nearly a year of ownership, I'm still hopelessly in love with it. I couldn't have been more happy with it. The only niggle I have is that, after the update to Android 9 the screen automatic lighting has been maladjusting in low to medium ambient lighting. Eventually, I had to turn off the function.

I have a laptop and tablet to do anything more demanding than UA-cam and social media anyway. I bought the 4/64 and was so impressed I got the 6/128 as well. Had issues with auto brightness as well so turned it off, no worries. With Nova Launcher it's damn near perfect.
Back in the day, 7" devices was really huge but now look at it. It can fit in one's hand 🤣
Yes things change
Bezels my friend, it's all about the bezels... Phones are same size
It's also about the aspect ratio, 7" usually meant 16:10 screen, it had significantly larger area than this screen and modern over 20:9 screens with notches are even smaller than that for the same diagonal size.
At last, a reason to upgrade from my Mi Max 1. Thanks, Chris!
Plenty of reasons, a big jump from the Max 1 to Max 3 it's cameras will really wow you with the difference. Mines still running fine by the way just a little beat up
I'm watching this on my Mi Max 1. It's doing quite well but with slight latency now and then. Maybe I will update once more reviews are out (and if there are any sales).
I'm upgrading from the 1 too, because it has tmobile lte bad 4, now. The max 1 I could only get 3g.lol
Same here using the Max 1. Served me well but I'm looking forward to the 6+128 version.
The focus-hunting camera on the Mi Max 1 has been disappointing, so I'm looking forward to the performance increment demonstrated in your excellent video. Thanks.
Im glad i waited for awhile to get my perfect phone..this is the best for the price and the mics on the vid ohhhh,makes me weep to see Xiaomi finally getting it right
I know right, finally! The sound, adding 1080p 60fps etc Thye are listening for once!
TechTablets.com hopefully they maintain this momentum with their next lineup of phones.. finally i can retire my axon7 after two years🤣
Great review, really what i was looking for. Just orded the MI Max 3 yesterday and there was no good detailed review until now.
You sir have done it again this might be my next smartphone can't wait for the comparison with the note 5, your one of the last true reviwers
best phone for everything, its bigger, louder, clearer, longer.. i dont need a 1000 bucks ai phone to satisfy me, this gargantuan Mi Max 3! is my next phone!🤘👍👌⚡👊🔥💕💕
So far looking really good just dropping frames in low light on the front camera and low light isn't that great.
bro, i have been surfing internet,listening songs and watching videos.....for 2 days....then its battery came from fullcharge to 5%....
battery has blown my mind
u wdnt regret if u buy this!
Me too....
Great unboxing and hands on reviews as always
Finally, been waiting your review since the launch.
Very well compared with max 2. waiting for next full review video.
Quite a detailed review. Watching it on my Mi Max 2. Purchased it in September 2017, so it's now about 10 months old. No issues. Love the loud sound. If anything I would complain in the Mi Max 2 is the camera. Hopefully there are now major improvements. Still I would not be removing the Mi Max 2 so soon.
Every time I want a honest down to earth review I first go to your channel, well done Chris.
sweet was waiting for u to do a review on the mi max 3 keep up the good work always watch videos ware could i order 1
Been waiting for this! Thanks Chris
If your videos are 2 hours long still I would love to watch them without skipping. Respect.
I was waiting for this! Thanks Chris! your full review will make my decision.. Thanks again!
Great video.. I have the max 2 and was looking forward to this upgrade.. always go back to this device when I need that stellar battery life.. think I'll be getting the max 3 as I love the big screen and battery..
Why I never moved away from my Max 2, once you experience the great battery life it's hard to move away from it, even when I was using flagship phones. The Mix 2S almost replaced it, but no preferred the max 2.
TechTablets.com I have the mi mix 2 but just hasn't the battery life of the max series..
Great. I've been waiting for this review.
Thank you! Your tests and comparsions are the best, as always! Informative and detailed very much.
Awesome, thank you! Love all your videos. Thanks for putting in so much effort every time!
Perfect mom phone? I'm thinking of getting one for here since she carries her phone on her bag anyway.
Yes as it's good for taking and looking at photos, nut will it be too big?
Yeah, I'm giving my Max 2 to my mum when I get the Max 3.
Oh well I'm thnking of giving the Max 2 to my Dad to replace his Galaxy Note (still running!)
Ι have my Note 1 as second phone and use it everyday.
Your review videos are really nice and I watched every single video from your channel. Keep up your good work! 💪
I'm from Malaysia
Again a very good review as always ..You really deliver so Chris 1 question is the 2Gb extra worth the money or should i just get the normal 4Gb/64Gb model.
Not really worth it unless you plan to multitask a lot or need the extra 64GB storage. I'm ordering the 128GB model in blue as I want the extra RAM to make it as smooth as possible when I run a lot of apps at once and also because I can go over 64GB easy.
Awesome review bro... I'm sold. Between, what the name of the track being used at 17:10? Absolutely love it!
9:42 I see you installed the playstore in between shooting this video.
Was it hard to get the playstore working or did you simply install some apk and it worked on the first try? If you did can you please share a link to the apk and if not can you make a tutorial video on how to get the playstore working?
10:48 what other important apps will not work (like whatsapp, youtube, etc)
14:44 in this section you talked about the global rom. Do you think it will be available as a update or would we need to do some workaround to get the global rom working?
Another question is when do you think the global release will be because xiaomi still didn't tell a release date and my phone broke, but i want to have the luxury of having only stuff preinstalled i want and not needing to work a hour to get everything "globaly".

Well if the price isn't too crazy I will order one.
hi please help me with my teclast f7 techtablets.com/forum/topic/windows-freeze/
When I follow that link I get a Xiaomi Mi8.
TechTablets.com Thanks for another excellent review. Could you tell me if USB-C to 3.5mm works on the 3 it doesn't work on the 2 even though they say it does.
Great video . Thank u so much for in depth review .. i love mi max series and i have currently mi max 2 and can't wait to get max 3 but it didn't lunch here in Egypt yet
Still kinda sad that we are 3 generations further and we still have the same cpu performance. Sd650 vs sd636
Yes but the 650 is more power hungry
Actually SD652 (Pro version) vs SD636.
I was wishing the rumors were true about the possible Pro version of this with the SD710 in it. Unfortunately, that didn't happen and came with a 636 instead of a 660. -__-)
KCZ7 you do know if you have seen the note series that is what the MI max series would be in terms of processor? Sd660 is much more expensive than sd636 and hey you can't have it all in a phone for this price range.
Tuntun AyaTosin its maybe a few dollars more expensive. Phone SOC's arent that expensive. The phone manufacturers just try to charge hundreds of dollars for a better chip. While they only pay a few dollars for such a chip.
Was waiting for your unboxing. 👍...
Awesome, i really wanted to know your impressions on this one considering you used Max and Max 2 a lot. Great video as always.
yes used the max until the max 2, and now the max 2 until the max 3. Only the honor Note 10 might sway me away to other large phone but I highly doubt it. The max 3 for my needs it looking very good.
TechTablets.com what do you think about the note 10 (especially the price) ? I have the p20 pro and very impressed from thr camera. but I will probably sell it and get the max 3. yes that will make me not a small loss in price and I won't have the same good camera but i.simply can't get used to small screens ( I have Mediapad X2 and then Mi max 2 and now the p20 pro)
Its good that you ordered the black colour. Looks much better than other colours.
Also, have enough sleep.
Keep up the good work.
Great review as usual Chris. Last Spring, I bought the mi max 2 based on your reviews. I am very satisfied with the phone. It has all the qualities you have mentioned in your reviews. The camera is no very good but this not a priority for me. I would love to see a recommendation if the owners of max 2 should be considering upgrading to max 3.
Andreas Veglis I think I will upgrade,maybe mi 8 tho🤔 I love my mi max but I kinda want the amoled screen.
At the end it was really a recommendation. I said this will be my new main phone. Replacing my Max 2. So far the step up in performance and cameras (espcially the cameras) has me keepign this for sure. So far it's really the perfect large phone for the price to me. For my own neeeds.
Considering my needs upgrading isn't much a priority Mostly am keen on the even bigger screen(although i prefer the 16:9 scale Mi Max 2 i understand the limitation they had on size when it comes to holding it and keeping such aspect ratio) and the bigger battery and SD card size(previous was supporting 128GB and the 3 is up to 256GB).
I care very little about very detailed cameras and i don't need much more power than the Mi Max 2 at the moment really, even though more power is always good.
I see myself keeping my Mi Max 2 a little longer and buying the Mi Max 3 some months down the line when the battery of my Mi Max 2 will start really showing it's age.
Mi Max 3 is still a must buy replacement though because it really kept everything i loved from Mi Max 2 and improved. The IR blaster(very nice useful thing that i can't for the life of me get why it went out of fashion with many and why it isn't talked about more in phone reviews) is still there the big battery and screen are even bigger and the Sd card still there bigger and better and the double speaker stereo sound also there, so is the headphone jack. It lost nothing from the Mi Max 2, is not like it stop having a headphone jack(coughApplecough) or an SD card or IR blaster etc. everything loved about Mi Max 2 is there which is just awesome.
I've got a 256GB microSD card in my Mi Max 2. Works just fine. I dunno if I'm willing to upgrade just yet. We'll see.
Anon ymous Completely agree man!
Just love my mi max 2,once you go big u never come back i guess😂
Just ordered Mi Max 3 and just can't wait for it to arrive!
Great review as always!
You need to contact mi for some sponsorships..your videos are awesome.
I've tried, they aren't interested unless you have over a million subs and also post and speak of the positives.
You mean without mentioning the negatives?
Pretty much, not to mention any issues or negatives of the review.
Not all Chinese companies are like that I heard. Some are interested in honest opinions. But it explains why you are still relatively small, or better: why some others are so big but say bla bla. When I watched your first videos they were not that good but now you are an absolute pro.
In India they want reviewers to be honest! Very strange behavior from official you contacted.
Thanks for this nice review
Mi Max 3 😘👍 Awesome 💪
Thanks for the great review! I have one question, at 0:43 you mention Trading Shenzhen is selling the Global Rom version of this phone, how is that possible if Xiaomi hasn't officially released the Global Rom? Are they unlocking the bootloader and installing the rom unofficially? I'm just curious because I see a lot of sellers advertising the Mi Max 3 as having the Official Global Rom. Thanks for your time 🙂.
I've been rocking the same gold Mi Max 2 and I love it aside from the huge chin and bezel, bad camera and the mediocre screen, this new version seems to improve on that but I'm sure it'll be hella difficult to get in English yet again. Thanks to your review though I realise maybe I'm better off remaining with the Mi Max 2. What do you think?
The faster SoC and much better cameras are well worth it. I'm moving from the Max 2 to the Max 3.
Yeah and the less bezel looks way nicer. Wish the screen was improved. And yeah your comparisons show massive improvements in camera quality. I'll look into selling my Max 2 and getting the 3. Appreciate your detailed review.
This guy has probably the best review videos of all the Max series in youtube
Hey Chris Nice video,
May you join ranks above MKBHD and SuperSafTv 👍
One day if the UA-cam gods deem it so.
Great review and video! The screen protection of Mi Max 3 is Gorilla Glass?
Haha... feel you with the derision you got while having a phone call with huge phone. When i got my samsung note 2, people around still stuck with blackberry and nokia, so they mocked me with wash board of a phone in my ear. Now since most already embraced big screen phone, guess i'll step up the game and start calling people with my 10 inch galaxy tab a6.
Haha use that Tab A6. Yes, I got mocked for the original Galaxy Note back in the day.
Great review! keep up the good work mate!
I think it would have been so much better if it was a little more expensive with a 710 SoC. Would be awesome.
Same here with SD710 + 6GB it would have been even better. But still not complaining about loving it so far.
There is one. It's the pro version, though it's still not released.
www.themobileindian.com/news/xiaomi-mi-max-3-pro-existence-denied-by-the-company-23173
Was denied by the company itself. They could be lying, but I'll believe them until we see it.
I didnt skip the add just for this channel only.
Nice review thoroughly.
Oh btw im still using mi max 1.
Ordered Max 3 Chinese version. Let's see can I install Google Play for that. Mi Global (aliexpress) is processing my order. 4 days already. I would like them to ship it! .
It's easy search google in the Mi store, that is the google installer run it and it will install Play for you. Not hard at all. I cut it from the edit as it was too long. That and the fingerprint reader test.
I just ordered the Global ROM version from Mi Global Aliexpress, now 4 days and not shipped yet, I'm about to cancel if they don't ship tomorrow.
1:00 Factory sealed? how do you know?
And, for messing around :
" YEAH, BUT THE DOOGEE MIX 8X SPECIAL EDITION GT has a 7282639mAh battery. 😍😍"
*Better Search Engine Optimization when you have more comments 😜*
haha yeah, the biggest battery in the world in a mobile. 30,000 mAh battery brick with a notch screen haha and fake dual cameras!
Chris another great video. Was really looking forward to you reviewing this Phone. Great going. When can we expect Mi A2's review? Hope that's coming our way soon too. Wishing you all the best. Keep it up
Yes i'll order on soon.
I know it will be more expensive but after seeing this review I'm going to wait and see what the Huawei Honor Note 10 is like. It's the same size, similar battery but has Amoled panel and a few other higher specs...... It will be announced on 31st July so excellent timing for us big phablet lovers.
I'm also looking forward to the official review on that one.
I'm waiting for your Note 10 review too! SoC of Mi Max 3 is really disappointing at this price tag.
MrTonifumi I have the honor note 8 and I love it, the honor note 10 is said to have NFC too.
What app are you using to pull up that GPS data? great review by the way, mine should be here early next week, can't wait! one last thing, do the rounded corners of the screen bother you? the Mi Max 2 had sharp corners.
Basically a bigger redmi note 5 with type c port xD
Iron Sight yes correct
Yep
15:30
"a little bit shaky had too much coffee.. not enough sleep, pretty much my life story.." got real dark, real fast Chris lol
haha well work, 2 young kids and running a website & UA-cam = no time, little sleep and a lot of Coffe to keep me going you get the idea :)
Must have got lucky because my mi Max 2 screen doesn't appear to have any shadowing
Yes lucky well these screens all vary from unit to unit every so slightly.
or maybe because you have a black one, the shadows on the edge of the screen merge with the body color of the smartphone, so it looks as if there is no shadow 😁
Guacamole Work that's certainly plausible, but I just tested the idea by putting white paper on the top and bottom and I still don't see anything. I do however have one dead pixel right at the top of the screen so I guess I'm not that lucky 😅.
skulleeman, 😂
Well I'm the other lucky one I guess. No issue at all with my Mi max 2 screen. Although I did dipped the phone to oil based mixture (salsa verde) when I was cooking 😅. Tried to open it with suction cup (after released 2 T4 screws near charger port), and had to replace the buzzer which I ordered from eBay.
Hi mate :) At 15:14 you say its 4k shoot with EIS with default app however its shaky and then you record in open camera app with smooth video, however is it also 4k or is that 1080 ? :) Thanks awesome review
God i wish i have one that's my dream can someone offers it to me
Is this th final mi max model from xiaomi? hope they still produce more
Unfortunately up until this point yes
So many people are practically begging for a fourth model I'm currently using the Mi Max 2 and it's hard trying to go to any other phone at this point I plan on getting the third version later next year
Awesome video as always
Wonderful Chris at last!! Wow that dual pixel autofocus technology is mind-blowing for sure....and the clear way you prrsents is great!! One question, how do you feel it un hand? PS: that mi pad 4 looks gorgeous
Yes DP PDAF finally fixes the focus hunting on Xiaomi phones.
Sorry in hand it feels good, but the mi max 2 feels a bit better.
TechTablets.com thank u!
as always chris, amazing review.
Awesome video, nice detailed unboxing.
Hi Chris, boy you're quick!! First review of the MiMax3 I seen!
Thanks for another great review. I have a question: my wife has the MiMax2 and one thing I liked about it is talking with the speakerphone. Not only the speakers are loud, but also the other side of the conversation hear me well (I assume the microphones are good too)
Can you please confirm if the Mi Max 3 is good as speakerphone as well? that people you talk with can hear you well if you put them on speaker? Thanks 😊
I tested it and it's pretty much the same as the Mi Max 2 - No issues there.
Good review at last. Thank you.
Excellent review!!
Quality content as always! My next phone is a xiaomi phone in large part because of the detail of your videos.
amazing review, thanks for the video
Thanks! Great review
Wow he put all the contents in the description! What a legend
Great review as always. Thanks
Awesome thanks Chris, been waiting for this review. Like you I really love my Mi Max 2 so this will be my next phone, but do you think it is worth it to upgrade straight away? Biggest thing would be the Camera I guess as I am not having any performance issues with the Max 2?
Lochlan Macdonald Same for me,love my mi max 2 but,had the mi max 1 and now i am going for mi max 3 :)
Worth the upgrade for sure :)
Yes definitely after a day with it i'm looking to my mi max 2. It feels quicker and those cameras are waaaay better.
Defiantly worth it.
TechTablets.com I just ordered my Mi Max 3,can't wait for it to arrive!
Feel like this is major upgrade over my mi max 2!
Great review, mate. I'm getting one of these just because I trust you, and your judgement. Cheers.
Saludos desde Venezuela!
Does it unlock by tapping the screen or by pressing the on button?
Thanks a lot for the review, love my Mi Max but always had problems with network reception. Do you think I should chance getting the Mi Max 3?
Yes it's much better and improved coverage and bands etc
Thanks for your response
Great review! So, do AI and image stabilization actually work? TIA.
another day another xiaomi device.... awesome work as always... how long the shutter can be kept on manual mode???
32 seconds, thanks.
TechTablets.com oh boy :( it has full fledged manual mode..shod have waited for it...I just bought redmi note 5 pro...now I have to unlock bootloader and install manual mode supported camera app for the same
Wow, I wish that this has been released earlier, I should've bought this for my mom instead of the Redmi 5 Plus. Nice review.
Hi Chris,great review as alaways! Now,you not say anything about stereo sonud on Max 3? Is it any? And second,how do you feel about display quality on Max3 compared to Max2? Some people say that Max3 has a "great punchy" colors display setup....how fo you feel about that? Thanks.
Yes I mention it, it has stereo sound and you get hights and some mids on the top speaker it' adds a little. The screen is very similar to my white Mi Max 2, when I had the black Mi Max 2 the screen was worse off. But it looks good for what it is an IPS at 6.9" not flagship grade but good overall. However not amazing.
TechTablets.com
Ok,thank you :) my mistake,i miss the part in your review when you talking about stereo sound. I had a black Mi Max2,and displays been average,now on my Mi Mix2 is way beter,but i noticed some dimm/yelowish tint in lower position on display sometime....
@16:30 Chris, did they ever fix the image stabilisation issue with the front camera?
Great video... I really Enjoyed this video...
¿Es verdad que en la página del hipervínculo que dejaste en la descripción ya los tienen a la venta? Best regards mate! Muy buena la review.
