Is the Mi Max 3's picture quality as bad as it looks online? - Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers

I've watched almost every Mi Max 3 video on Youtube but I always noticed that the Mi Max 3 display looks really dull, colours don't pop, blacks aren't very deep.
I know this is an IPS panel, not AMOLED/OLED but what concerned me is this video . As I am coming from an iPhone 7 plus that has an IPS panel, I want the display quality to at least be somewhat equal if i'm "upgrading", I know the specs won't be better than iPhone 7 plus but I really really want a bigger screen for media consumption.
I know this video is comparing the Mi Max 2 and iPhone 7 plus but I can't find any direct comparison on the Mi Max 3. Is the Mi Max 3's display significantly better than Mi Max 2 and is it comparable to the iPhone 7 plus display?
Can anyone who have an iPhone and Mi Max 3 show comparison photos between both phones picture quality if possible? :fingers-crossed:
PS: Also are there any display issues with this Mi Max 3? Such as the "Blue Shift" when viewing off-angle?

Send me an iPhone to compare it to and I'll gladly take those pictures.

With cream and cherry on top.
Edit: Seriously though, the display is just fine.
I came from a Mi Mix 2 and even had a OnePlus 3 for some time and have nothing to complain about.

Agreed, I came from a Samsung Note 8, and it's nearly as good.

I'm also coming from a Samsung Note 8 & Note 9, and am finding that I prefer the Max 3. The picture quality and screen clarity is almost as good as both Note's. Am actually going to be returning my Note 9 and keeping my Note 8 as a back up phone. Hope that helps.

That's awesome to know because my friend has a Note 8 and that phone has an amazing display.
Do you guys notice any "blue shift" when viewing at an angle? How is the "blue shift" when compared to the Note 8?

Also I noticed you used to own a Huawei P8Max. I actually used to own a P8 Max 2 years ago but unfortunately water damaged it while I was holidays. :crying:
Could you please let me know how is the display/picture quality of the Mi Max 3 compared to the P8 Max? Is it much better?
Also are there any pros or cons between the two devices? Or is the Mi Max 3 better than the P8 Max in every way?

Don't see any blueshift in mine. Can't remember that well on my Note 8.

Should i buy the Mix 2 ?

Hi all
So, i'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy Note 8, & was just wondering, is it worth switching from the Note 8 to a Mi Mix 2 ?
Kindly let me know what you think Details if possible!
Thank you :angel:
I'm not sure why you would want to change from a note 8 to the Mi Mix 2. The Mi Mix 2 is a great device. But the note 8 seems to be even greater. I'm not sure if the Mi Mix 2 offers anything over the note 8 (except for price).
-processor specs are similar, but the note 8 has waterproofing, pen, better support, arguably a better standard android build (MIUI has bigger flaws than Touchwiz (or whatever it's called these days), a better screen and an infinitely better camera.
The only benefit for the Mi Mix 2 would be that it's easier to put custom roms on it? But they are still a bit buggy at the moment.
I did the move because I had an amazing deal. Mix 2 almost costed me like 150 usd.
I just like it for the ergonomics and how the phone feels PLUS to be honest got bored of the silver color and waiting for the blue 256 variant.
But note 8 as a device is better in every aspect. Battery screen options and support ... If u didn't get a good deal then don't switch

Redmi Note 6?

Hi
I had bought the Redmi Note 5 global version, but lost it since I was mugged. Now I wanted to order a new one since I really liked the one that got stolen from me. But I got thinking, since Xiaomi loves to release new devices very often, is there a Redmi Note 6 coming soon? I'd sure hate to buy the Note 5 only for the Note 6 to come after it with better specs and design.
Thanks!
Edit: Doesn't have to be a new phone from the Note series, any Xiaomi phone that will have a SD SoC, and preferably the same size battery of 4000 mAh. I don't really care much about camera.
Redmi 6 Pro is available. Notched with 5.84" display and 4000maH battery. SD 625 as usual. Check it out.

This one slipped from me! It looks great tbh, apart from the chin and the notch. I've never had a phone with SD 625, is it noticeably slower than 636 on the note 5?

No difference at all during general usage like playing light games,watching videos and such.
The game loading time will be a little more than rn5 pro.

yap , sd625 slower in big difference than sd636 , but sd625 more battery friendly. suggest you keep on redmi note 5 pro or wait for mi max 3 .
There is a difference.
It is Redmi 6, that is replacing the old Redmi 5 series aka Redmi 5, Redmi 5a etc.
The current 6 is NOT note 6, but plain Redmi 6 pro.
Note 6 pro is expected end of the year with 7xx SoC

In day to day activities, the difference is very very less. May be in gaming, it might be a little significant. My brother has a Note 4 and it flies along well with MIUI 9.
Redmi Note 5 is still a better option than Redmi 6 Pro imo. SD 636 is way better than SD 625.
Thanks guys
I guess if I'm going to wait, I'd better wait for the new Mi Max 3 which is coming with a huge battery and a better SoC.

Where to buy?

Hi y'all
This device is the one I should have waited for.. I jumped in and got a Mi Mix 2 about 3 months ago.. But coming from a Huawei Media Pad X2 it feels very small. I want the Mi Max 3...where is the best place to get one at the best price and shipped quickly to the United Kingdom? I want the 6gb/128gb model. My ceramic 8gb/128gb Mi Mix 2 should more than cover the cost
Cheers and thanks guys

EGlobalCentral.UK ordered mine from there, 4/64gb €244 with code SAVE559 . 1 week estimated shipping.
Edit: oops, saw too late that you needed the 6/64gb version
Wondering if Mi Max 2 feels very small how is Mi Max 3 going to feel any different!? Don't let bigger diagonal screen size fool you. The difference is for the software buttons which Mi Max 2 doesn't need....
Overall don't think you'll feel it any bigger... If I recall it correctly screen width is 1.3mm smaller on 3.

I have a xiaomi Mi Mix 2 currently using gesture control. (No on screen buttons)

I know this is a bad question but I am asking for answers from real users of Max 3

I have an opportunity to buy either Note 8 or Max 3
any comments PLEASE .....
thank you
I'd recommended the Max 3 over the note 8. Max 3 is a much better bang for buck. And I've enjoyed every single moment owning this phone. No hickups or whatsoever.

Well i had the Note 8 before i bought the Max 3, the Max 3 is bigger and has a better Battery, else i didn't notice any difference. Probably the camera but i don't take often serious pictures. If you are Okay with the enormous display then save a few bucks and go for the Max 3.
Depends all what you need the phone for or what's important for you.
Note 8 user to Mi Max 3 user as well. Def go for the Mi Max 3. The bigger screen, better battery life, and overall development and updates for the Mi Max 3 are worth it. It surprisingly keeps up with the Note 8 in every regard.
Great thanks for all your input guys
My Max 3 just left Hong Kong for South Africa

Still worth to buy Mi Mix 2 in late 2018?

Hello guys,
I'm thinking about getting a replacement for my old redmi note 2 and looking for Mi Mix 2. Can get it for about 250 bucks.
Is it a good choice for everyday use?
Other phones I'm looking for are Xiaomi A2 and Xiaomi Redmi note 6 Pro .
Thanks for your opinions
Yes

kind of a design way as there are no much differences in everyday usage. Of course it is more powerful with better camera, but personally I would prefer the look and the feel of a Mix 2
For me, yes. Mine satisfy to use Mix 2 on November 2018.
Honestly I want to say yes but I just have to say no. Drop a little more cash and get yourself a Mix 2S or a Mi8. The Mix 2 is nice but the Snapdragon 845 is more future proof and the Mix 2 camera was okay'ish when the device came 12 months ago so it's not ageing well. Here's my advice: spend that little more extra cash to get the better cam & performance
