Unfortunately not. But better speakers, build quality, more ram, decent camera (same one as in the mi6 iirc), usb type C and 64GB base model.

A pity they didn't try to slim the top and bottom bezels a bit, cut down on the length of the thing...

Good stuff

My screen protectors etc still haven't arrived Post #29

The current glass protector (with the crack now spreading) seems to slide all over the place. I often have to apply pressure to re-position it.

Anyone else experiencing the same?

You might have to remove that protector, because re applying pressure will just do more damage

How is the MI Max, is it a good device outdoors? Ie under direct sunlight

I'd say sunlight legibility is on par with most other devices. Maybe slightly worse than my Samsung S5 but not much.

Strangely, despite the quality of my Note 4 screen, I find in direct sunlight it's terrible. So looking for another device, but also don't want to spend a lot on it.

I've also had a Note 4. The Mi Max is not markedly worse in sunlight, that's for sure. Most phones I've used are not great outdoors... Include the high end ones.

Yeh, strange that they always mention how good it is outdoors etc. However, I have not come across one handset where that was the case. It was still a struggle to see properly

I'd suggest downloading a different camera app. The stock one really doesn't seem to do that good a job. I went for Open Camera. Free, lots of features. Much better than the one that comes with the phone. The photos already look better without any tweaking or effects / filters.

Open camera, yes.
