We are going to face the new Honor phablet one last time in our comparative with one of the catalog of Xiaomi, in this case with the one that is closest to it in price, to see what each of the two offers us with a similar investment and to help you choose the one that best suits your needs: Honor 7X vs. Xiaomi Mi Max 2.
Integrated
As it happened when we faced the We are A1, Honor 7X It shines especially in the design section because, being a newer model, it has already been able to take note of the latest trends in the high-end range and it already comes with a front with much smaller frames. In any case, and as we already take for granted in a mid-range of a certain level, with both we are going to enjoy a metal casing and a fingerprint reader.
Dimensions
If we add to those smaller frames of the Honor 7X the fact that the screen of the We are Max 2 is considerably larger, it is not surprising that the difference in size that we find is really remarkable (15,65x7,53 inch against 17,41x8,87 inch). Of course, the Honor phablet is also going to have a significant advantage in weight, but in comparison it is secondary (165 grams against 211 grams). In thickness, yes, they would be tied (7,6 mm in both cases).
Screen
We have already told you that there is an important difference in size between their respective screens (5.93 inches against 6.44 inches) and is probably the one that needs to be taken into account the most, although it is also easy to see that they use different aspect ratios, with a classic 16:10 for the phablet of Xiaomi and a more current 18: 9, more elongated, for the Honor. In resolution, in any case, they are tied in Full HD, although by the format the pixel count of the Honor 7X it turns out may2160 x 1080 against 1920 x 1080).
Performance
In the performance section, on the other hand, the differences are much smaller: although their processors are different, their characteristics are not so much (Kirin 659 eight core to 2,36 GHz against Snapdragon 625 eight core to 2,0 GHz) and both have 4 GB of RAM and have Android Nougat as an operating system yet.
Storage capacity
The Honor 7X when we come to consider the storage space that each one of them offers us, since it comes with nothing less than 64 GB of internal memory, twice the We are Max 2, that offers 32 GB. Both have, however, a card slot micro-SD, which helps partially offset the downside.
Cameras
As with the Redmi 5 Plus, the cameras section is not one of the most prominent of the We are Max 2, So the Honor 7X it was relatively easy to get the victory and, indeed, it does, with a main camera that, in addition to being dual, wins in number of megapixels (16 MP against 12 MP), as does the front camera (8 MP against 5 MP).
Autonomy
We now turn to one of the sections in which the We are Max 2 shines brighter, which is the autonomy, and we start by checking that it starts with a huge advantage in terms of battery capacity (3340 mAh compared to 5300 mAh). There might be the possibility that the Honor 7X will compensate with a much lower consumption, but from what we have seen in the first independent tests that leave us comparable data (we use here those of gsmarena), the victory of the phablet of Xiaomi it is overwhelming (77 hours vs 126 hours, with very moderate use profiles in both cases).
Honor 7X vs Xiaomi Mi Max 2: final balance of the comparison and price
We are in this comparison with two phablets of the most popular low-cost brands with a very similar price but which, as we have seen, have very little to do with the advantages they offer us and the profile of users who may be interested. : the Honor 7X is slimmer and comes with better cameras and more storage capacity, while making the We are Max 2 They are one of the largest screens that we can find in a phablet and an autonomy that is also difficult to match.
Although the Honor 7X has an official price of $300, we are seeing it with some frequency with some discount, staying very close to the $280 for which the We are Max 2. Both have in their favor, in addition, the one that can be bought directly in Spain, without having to resort to importation. Choosing between the two, therefore, is purely a question of which sections interest us the most.
