The much-hyped Xiaomi Mi Max 3, with an impressive 6.9 inches screen, is finally official. The phone is available in three different colour options of Meteorite Black, Dream Gold and Dark Blue. Xiaomi had revealed most of its specifications prior to Mi Max 3 launch and had even compared the phone to its previous model Mi Max 2 to give prospective buyers a clear understanding of what has been improvised this time. Yet, the most talked about feature of this phone is its large screen size and durable battery.
