The Xiaomi Mi Max 3 has also been compared with the last generation Mi Max 2 smartphone, giving us an even better understanding of the differences between the two models. Before the price and specification revelations, Xiaomi also showed off the design of the Mi Max 3, and it appears to be very similar to the Redmi Note 5 Pro, albeit with a significantly larger display.
