Earlier at a mega event in New Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Thursday, Xiaomi unveiled the Mi Max, its latest offering for the Indian market. While the price, specifications, and reviews took the headline, the event was marred by ugly scenes that don't belong to a tech launch event, or any event in general. As has been the tradition at its events in China - and recent events in India as well - Xiaomi invited a host of Mi 'fans' to the Mi Max launch. The fans have become a bit of a fixture at launch events of many other companies as well, especially the Chinese and Taiwanese brands. What should've been another routine event, turned to chaos when at around noon - a good 60 minutes after the event was scheduled to start - a section of the fans, who were by then seated inside the stadium started shouting "Xiaomi hai hai" and other less than flattering slogans about the company and its personnel. Xiaomi India head Manu Jain took to the stage in an attempt to calm the crowd and asked the fans what the problem was. It seemed a section of the fans was upset that their friends couldn't get in, and that they didn't receive Xiaomi t-shirts that the rest of the fans at the venue were given. Jain publicly apologised to these 'fans' saying the company had grossly underestimated the number of people who'll land up to attend the event. Jain assured everyone they will get t-shirt and other freebies - all Mi fans had received a Mi band at a previous Xiaomi event in New Delhi - "if not today, then at a later stage". However, some fans were not happy at their gratification getting delayed to an unspecified date in the future, and made their displeasure pretty clear.

Mi
Max, at a price of Rs 14,999 is primarily targeted at people who want a
bigger display with better battery life at a price of a budget 7-inch
voice-calling Android tablet. According to Xiaomi, voice-calling tablets
under Rs 20,000 (like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 or Lenovo Phab) are
still in demand because consumers want bigger screen without
compromising on the calling feature.
So, is the Mi Max a suitable alternative for people using 7-inch Android tablets? Here is the rest of our review.
Design and display
Xiaomi has managed to make Mi Max appear like a smartphone and not a tablet. The Mi Max can be easily tucked inside the trouser pockets. However, it is not very comfortable and hinders mobility, especially for those who wear denims. Also, it is almost impossible to ride a motorbike comfortably with the Mi Max inside trouser pockets. It is better to carry the Max inside a bag and thanks to the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection and the metal body the phone will stay scratchless and smudge free.
Considering its large screen size, the Xiaomi Mi Max can be easily used to make calls. For someone who is used to making calls on a 7-inch tablet, handling the Mi Max will be easy. If you have not before, be prepared to stretch your palm muscles.
The phablet weighs 203 grams (with the large 4,850 mAh battery), however it does not feel much as the weight is balanced properly on this device. Measuring 7.5mm in thickness, it is thinner than many Android phones.
The Xiaomi Mi Max has a Full HD 1080p display (6.44-inches) with a pixel density of 342ppi. The viewing angles are good with vivid colours and nice contrast. Yes, one can easily read articles, e-books on the Xiaomi Mi Max's big screen, but you will end up using two hands to type on the device.
A feature that is missing on the Xiaomi Mi Max is the multi-screen support. The big screen doesn't provide any extra productivity benefits for that. Its inclusion would would have made so much more sense. Also, the Mi Max is difficult to use under direct sunlight as the display is glossy and hinders the outdoors experience. On the flipside, it is a delight to watch movies on the Xiaomi Mi Max when indoors.
Performance and camera
Xiaomi has launched two variants of the Mi Max in India- 3GB RAM/32GB ROM at Rs 14,999 and 4GB RAM/128GB ROM at Rs 19,999. While the 3GB RAM version is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 SoC, the top-end 4GB RAM variant runs Snapdragon 652 SoC. The device comes with a hybrid sim card slot, which supports a microSD card of up to 128GB.
The device performs well and gave us very little to complain. Overall, teh 7-inch tablet users will find the Mi Max superior in performance. It also caters well to the needs of the gamers. The big screen gives that extra oomph after getting used to the form factor of the device.
