Xiaomi Mi Max wrap up: Expected features, release, price details

Xiaomi's long-rumoured mid-range phablet Mi Max is expected to finally see the light of the day at Beijing National Convention Centre on Tuesday.

The company, in a bid to fuel excitement among fans has released a series of video teasers giving a glimpse of the upcoming device.

To provide a better perspective on the Mi Max, we have leafed numerous reliable reports and come up with a list of features, which are likely to make the cut in Xiaomi's new phablet.

Design and display:

In the recently-released teaser videos, the Mi Max features a near-zero bezel display at the right and left sides. There is hardly any visible gap between the screen and edge, so users will be able to enjoy viewing video content seamlessly.

However, the phone features physical space on the top and the bottom. The company has included a front-camera, a single-grille speaker and sensors at the top, whereas the bottom is occupied by three back-lit capacitive buttons (recents, home and back) and metal-based frame around the edge.

On the back, the primary camera is placed in the top-left corner with LED flash beside it. Circular fingerprint module is incorporated below at the centre.

As far as display is concerned, it is expected to come in 6.44-inch screen with full HD (1920x1080p) resolution.
