Xiaomi, the Chinese electronics company, has solidified its position as a major player in the Indian smartphone market with the launch of a new flagship device. The new Xiaomi Mi Max 2 is equipped with a huge 6.44” 1080p IPS display and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor.

Though other phones in the same price range may be equipped with more powerful processors, Xiaomi has kept the price of this phone very competitive. The price of the Mi Max 2 is around Rs16,999 and it’s likely to be a hit with consumers, especially those on a budget.

The phone comes with 4GB of RAM, which is more than enough for a phone in its price range. The battery life is also very good, and it’s rated for up to two days of use on a single charge. The design is similar to other Xiaomi phones and it comes in two colors – black and gold.

What sets this phone apart from the competition is the fact that it is capable of running two SIM cards and two 4G LTE networks simultaneously. This means that users can switch between networks with just one phone.

The company has been expanding its footprint by introducing a range of affordable phones, tablets and other electronic devices such as fitness trackers, drones, and streaming media players.
