I want to get Mi Max - Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers

But I'm undecided. Mi Max or Mi Max 2 . Which device is better? If you were, which one did you take?

I just bought a Mi Max this month. Even though the price is close between them and it's a year old, I choose the original Mi Max due to a stable Lineage OS. I am super happy with my Mi Max running Lineage.

Definitely get the Mi Max as we have lots of development on it and it's actually better than the Mi Max 2. I just ordered a new back cover, fingerprint scanner and volume buttons for the Mi Max a friend gave me (he dropped it and bent the back cover and messed up the volume buttons) and I'll be selling it as soon as I install them.

AliExpress sells them. You can buy almost every part from there. I ordered three spare volume/power button flex cables, a fingerprint scanner, a sim tray and a back cover all from the site. (wanted to replace the gold with Silver) The total cost was around $29 USD.

where has lcd frame for sale !!anyone can help me?
my opo's chrome bezel that silver frame has dents so need to replace that which one should i pick middle frame or whole display kit & display touch works fine but i just want to replace that silver bezzel so wanna know about parts which one should i pick & replacement tools.
Did anyone get the linked microphone replacement flex on mobileparts ? Does it work ?
This sounds like Vifocal all over again! I urge you to not buy anything from them. They sent me a used screen with no frame that I paid for. The copper strips on the back were scratched/stripped. Also, there is no speaker grill.
Beware when buying parts for your phone. Most sellers will send you used parts. Go to the feeeback sections and read everything! I myself am waiting for a refund!
Hi
Does the link for the screen point to a Genuine LCD with the same specifications as the factory fitted one?
Thanks

Thinking of buying a Mix 2

So my S7 Edge got the flicker of death and i am starting my hunt for a new phone. I found the Mix 2 has some nice features and is pretty cheap. I plan on buying it on Amazon, Is there anything i should know?
Also does it have Google Play/Store/ect on it? Looking at this one; https://www.amazon.com/Xiaomi-Black-Unlocked-Global-Warranty/dp/B079816Y5T/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Awesome phone. But selling mine when might max 3 drops. Love the size. And yes global rom has playstore
Sent from my Mi MIX 2 using Tapatalk
I have a mi mix 2 now, because of the fragility of my mi mix. I got fed up of buying the complete lcd assembly (i checked around, nobody here wants to attempt to replace just the glass from the digitizer.), 3x so far in about 18 months.
I was also wanting to get the mi mix 2 (global version) because of the broad spectrum of lte bands with respect to the lack of lte bands with the first mi mix (it's just way more "connectivity reliable" when you have all the lte bands). I found this out the hard way when testing the Razr gaming phone along side my mi mix. The mi mix was lost and slow connecting to data, drove me crazy.
I simply love the design of the Xiaomi line of mi mix's (but this time I didn't pay top dollar like I did when the mi mix was launched), and once you get the boot loader unlocked, the freedom and liberation of using the broad spectrum of rom's, roots, adaway etc, I will probably never go back to a Network available only phone again (hated my Samsung knox and locked down bootloaders for that reason).
If money were no option, and I had to get a new phone, I would get the 2s. But at half the cost (or 40% or so less), the regular mi mix 2 is no slouch.
I will say that the mi mix is a much larger phone, and the screen real estate is much bigger (it is only 0.4" bigger, but it really is much bigger than the numbers show) with respect to the mi mix 2. I never understood why Xiaomi downsized the mi mix 2, and 2s.
Invest in a true bumper tpu shockproof case, and forgo the sleek, thin, and sexy cases. One drop, could be 1) invisible crack, or 2) lens crack or bullseye blister, or 3) broken internally and damaged lens and digitizer.
Then the game of finding a capable and knowledgeable mobile phone tech who will want to attempt to repair a Xiaomi phone. Oh, and you will need to find and track down a lens and digitizer at a fair price (lol, good luck with that), because nobody will have parts for it.
I am not trying to deter you, I am only stating the facts.
Cheers,
lormad

Get the Mix2s instead. By all accounts the upgrades are well worth it. I have the Mix2 and love it and would buy the Mix2s if I didn't have this one. As stated above, invest in a proper case because 90% of those available don't protect the screen adequately. It's a gorgeous but delicate phone and hard to resist the temptation of buying a case that shows it off.
What about this case? Is it resistant?
My Mix 2 will be delivery on the next week.

This is the one I'm using and was recommended by former Mix1 owners as offering the best protection whilst not being too bulky. I'm still looking for something similar in clear tpu. Go to the Accessories threads. Plenty of info there.

Is it worth buying now (October 2018)?

Hey,
I'm looking for a new smartphone within 25k INR price budget.
Mix 2 is available for 23k rn and I wonder whether it would be a good idea to buy it or not? I want a daily driver for 2-3 years of use.
I'm a power user ( so gaming/perf, camera, sound, battery are important) and I keep my phones rooted so year old softwares isn't my concern if there are Oreo/Pie ROMs available.
I really like the design of the device, 6GB + 128GB is another benefit.
My doubts are about:-
1. Front Camera placement (is there any othwr way except rotating your phone around for selfies )
2. No headphone jack : This one seems most troublesome, but does the 3.5toTypeC adaptor solves that completely?
My other options are Asus Zenfone 5Z, Realme 2 Pro, Moto One Power or Nokia 7.1 Plus
Any help is greatly appreciated.
TIA
I highly recommend this phone, I upgraded to this from a MI5s and I'm very impressed by the screen and the battery life. If you take a lot of selfies it can be annoying to have to turn the phone around, but it's not really a big deal. If you try to take a selfie without turning it then you get a lot of chin in the pic, not a good angle! The USB C to 3.5mm adaptor works great, I've barely noticed the lack of headphone jack. Just leave the adaptor connected to your headphones and you won't even notice. The one downside to this over my previous phone is the glass, it seems to scratch very easily (I guess it isn't gorilla glass) and if you try to use a screen protector it looks bad because you can't have it go all the way to the edge (it is slightly curved around the edges). In a year's time I think the scratches will be quite obvious so keep that in mind.

It does have gorilla glass but it is coated with an oleophobic layer on top which is prone to scratches

Would you not consider pocophone F1? It's on the same price range as mix 2 but more powerful. It's not as good looking but still...

That's very interesting, I wonder if there is a way to remove that layer? It seems to pick up more fingerprints than my previous phone's too so I'm not really sure of the point of it.
The power difference between the mix 2 and the pocophone isn't going to be very noticeable unless you're playing intensive games, plus there's no notch on the mix 2 which is a huge bonus imo.
yes it is.got mine yesterday for 237 euros,global version brand new
The phone is WAY more impressive in real life than what you see on videos.
835 is still a beast.
I got mine last week. Also from eglobal. I'm super impressed with the phone. For 237euro this is a major beast.

I Have just ordered one from eGlobal the global edition 64gb 6gb ram, can you tell me does the phone come with a free case in the box ?
Also is there an screen protector fitted to the phone ?
Does the usb to audio adapter work for making calls etc? allowing use with regular none MI product headphones ?
It came indeed with a case. No screen protector. I've not used the dongle so i can't tell.

Thank you for your reply, did you order a screen protector? If so do you have a link or one that is recommended to use?
This is the one I ordered. 5D Full Protective Glass for Xiaomi MI MIX 2 6 8 SE 6X A1 A2 lite Redmi Note 4X 4 5 6 Pro 5A Prime 6A Screen Protector Film
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/X3AIXHq
Brilliant looks good, I usually use PayPal for purchases from China , did you use credit card is it secure payment wise ?
Does the screen protector work along side a case ? Or would a case perhaps push off the screen protector?
Mine came with applied screenprotector and hardcase.
I have the global Version 64gb
Excellent , I am hoping for that it would come with a basic one applied already , I tend to just never remove the factory fitted screen protector if it is clear .

read above,there is no screen protector unless it was a box that was opened from the shop.
Mine from eglobal was sealed with no screen protector
The Screenprotektor was already attached to my mix2.
I had to remove a thin Foil
Advice please, my mi mix 2 arrived today.....but the factory fitted screen protector appears to have a strong blue tint (or similar colour) to it , is that correct ? or shoud it be completely clear ?
Mine came without screenprotector

Looking for battery case for Le Max 2 - are there any out there?

Hi guys,
Since battery remains an Achilles' heel - I have thought about exchanging the batter for a larger capacity one - but I am afraid I will not be able to do it. Hence, I have thought about those batter cases, where you get extra capacity in the case. Like for Le 2 phone, a smaller sister version of our Le Max 2:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Pow...r-for-X520-X528-le2-Pro-X620/32863201253.html
Would be nice to have something similar for Le Max 2 - any advices?
well sorry for necroing the thread...
Did not find any for leeco max 2.
finally bought this one to try (was 15$) https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/5000...309.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.72006c37o3Vy4E
not directly for this model (originally for mate 9) but still approximately compatible...
fingerprint and flash not usable anymore (partially hidden) and power/volume buttons are a bit harder to press and now my phone is fat ...
otherwise it does the job with the battery.... I got 2-3 days of strong/medium usage.
Thanks man, can you share some photos?
@sirnono
Edit, i have looked more in dept , if we can find one like the blue one we can actually cut out the fingerprint and flash but the photo belongs to a mi9 case which has different dimentions.
Also samsung a7 2017 is the closest phone to le max 2 dimensionally but there are no battery cases for it
Also i added an universal battery pack which i am thinking buying for le max 2...

I really like the looks of these cases, but I am uncertain as to what one to buy as I can not read Chinese haha.
Found lots on Amazon that are similar. Will buy one and post back the results.
picked up this one https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07MJK2J4V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 appears to be the same one belmethos got from aliexpress.. Cost me $30 CDN, and fits rather well. Yes the volume and power buttons are harder to press, and the flash and thumb scanner are no longer useable, but the case is actually great in the hands.

[Q] Redmi Note 8 Frame (Metalic or Plastic?)

Hi all, its been a while since my last thread here at XDA. I´ve been enjoying a lot my RN4 and honestly didn´t find the need or time to mod it. However, it´s been more than two years now using it and it feels more and more slow. Yes, I know, I could put a custom ROM into it and make it fly again, but I was looking at upgrading it, so I can pass my RN4 to my father.
A few months ago I was also checking out the RN7, a great phone spec-wise, but it lacked the Metal Frame. A video on YouTube from JerryRigEverything showed how fragile the phone is when bent. Another tech-tuber from India (maybe tech guruji?) also showed the same thing, the phone isn´t built to resist heavy mechanical stress. And since I need the phone to resist at least 2 years I was looking for a phone with the specs of the RN7 but more robust. Out of nowhere Xiaomi presents the RN8, and I was like: WHAT?!
Phone looks OK, for the price offers a lot IMO. All the features a geek would want. I was looking for the NON-PRO version, since it has SnapDragon. My question is this, does anybody know if the phone has a Metallic OR Plastic frame? Guess I´ll have to wait a bit to find out...
Same plastic material what make youbthink they will put metal on even cheaper phone......metal ia way more expensive....
If you want metallic frame go for Mi A3

Redmi note 5 pro, Redmi note 6 pro and some others have mostly metal bodies.
