The speaker grills have been tweaked for better stereo sound which the company claims is big improvement over last years' Mi Max.
Battery

The Mi Max 2 is claiming to have the same performance with a mammoth 5,300mAh battery. The massive size of the device let the engineers place the huge battery in the rear panel. The Mi Max 2 supports Quick Charge 3.0, which according to the company can recharge 68 percent in just one hour.
Camera

The 12megapixel camera on the rear panel of the device comes with PDAF support and dual-LED flash. The Sony IMX386 sensor with 1.25-micron pixels will allow better image processing in accordance with the lighting condition.
