Xiaomi’s plans are not transparent like Meizu. So it’s difficult to predict how many new models will be launched this year. But this doesn’t mean we don’t know anything about the forthcoming devices. As for now, a new Xiaomi phone featuring a Snapdragon 660 chip has been rumored to come in May. It’s thought this device should be the successor to the original Xiaomi Mi MAX due to a 6.44-inch screen. Thus the manufacturer adheres to its principles and it will release the Xiaomi Mi MAX 2 with the same but improved features like its predecessor.
The manufacturer is going to wow the world with its new and own-made Pinecone chip. But before it happens we may get our hands on half a dozen smartphones in face of the Xiaomi Mi 5C, Xiaomi Mi 5, Xiaomi Mi MIX 2, Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X Hatsune Miku version and so on. Seems the Xiaomi Mi MAX 2 joins the list as well.
