Xiaomi is busy working on the new Mi 6, scheduled to release this month, as well as on the Mi Mix and Mi Max lines, the only ones that have yet to receive a refresh this year. Many details about the Mi 6 surfaced recently and the Mi Max also passed through GFXBench.

The sequel to last year’s Mi Max is codenamed Xiaomi Oxygen and will feature a very large 6.4-inch Full HD display, while running Qualcomm’s octa-core Snapdragon 660 platform clocked at 2.2GHz, coupled with Adreno 506 graphics processing unit.

Other specs of Xiaomi’s upcoming Mi Max 2 include 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, together with a 12MP camera on the back and a 5MP selfie shooter in the front. The rear camera is apparently capable of recording 4k videos, while the smartphone comes with NFC support.

Xiaomi Mi Max 2 will draw power from a 5,000mAh battery with fast charging capabilities, one of the main selling points for Xiaomi’s upcoming smartphone. The device will run Android 7.1.1 Nougat with MIUI on top.

This could be the standard variant of the Mi Max, while the higher-end model could come with more RAM capacity and a better main camera. Last year’s higher-end Mi Max model had a smaller battery of 4,850 mAh, while the rear camera featured a 16MP sensor with PDAF. The front camera was just 5MP, and Xiaomi doesn’t seem to have made any improvements in this department.

Xiaomi’s Mi Max 2 will most likely have similar pricing to last year’s model, which started at $230 for the standard model and reached $307 for the top-tier variant with 4GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage, and Snapdragon 652 platform.

Recent reports revealed that Xiaomi could announce the new Mi Max 2 this May, while the phone could be released a few weeks later, in June. Until then, Xiaomi will announce the Mi 6 and Mi 6 Plus, whose spec sheets recently leaked.
