Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi is all set to unveil in India next week its new device Mi Max 2 that sports 6.44-inch screen and is powered by a massive 5,300mAh battery.

Unveiled in China in May, Mi Max 2 is successor to Mi Max phablet that came to India in June last year.

The device is built in a metal unibody design and sports a fingerprint sensor on the back.

It is powered by octa-core Snapdragon 625 SoC clocked at 2GHz blended with 4GB RAM and 64GB/128GB internal storage. The device runs on Android Nougat 7.0 operating system.
