Let's go with one last comparative to review how the catalog of Xiaomi mid-range phablets with the arrival of the one presented last week, in which it will face the other model with a larger screen (bigger even than its own, really). Which of the two best suits what you are looking for ?: Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi Max 2.
Integrated
As happens when we compare the new model with any of those that have been on the market for some time, the difference in design is evident due to the fact that the latest phablets of Xiaomi They come with a front with much smaller frames and more stylized lines, only in this case it becomes an especially notable difference due to the size of its screens, as we will see in the next section. Both come with a metal casing and a fingerprint reader, yes.
Dimensions
We are going to see now that, indeed, the impact of these two design lines in their respective dimensions is quite remarkable, although it is noticeable much more in size (15,86x7,54 inch against 17,41x8,87 inch) than in weight (181 grams against 211 grams). It must be borne in mind, in any case, that although the screen of the Notes redmi 5 Pro is also quite large, that of the We are Max 2 it is even more so, which explains part of the difference. Finally, when it comes to thickness, it is in fact the latter that has the advantage (8,05 mm against 7,6 mm).
Screen
As we just said, the screen of the Notes redmi 5 Pro is very large and many may be satisfied with it, but the We are Max 2 is even broader5.99 inches against 6.44 inches). It is not the only difference that we are going to appreciate, because the first has also been changed to the 18: 9 aspect ratio, more elongated, so fashionable lately. The only thing they agree on is that they both offer Full HD resolution, although it must be taken into account that the pixel count benefits the new model, but it is one more question of adaptation to the format (2160 x 1080 against 1920 x 1080).
Performance
In the performance section, the key difference is once again that the Notes redmi 5 Pro comes already with the new Snapdragon 636 (eight cores to 1,8 GHz), instead of Snapdragon 625 (eight cores to 2,0 GHz) that we find in the rest of the mid-range of Xiaomi, including the We are Max 2. In RAM, however, they are tied, with 4 GB, and they also have in common that both have an operating system still Android Nougat.
Storage capacity
Another advantage of Notes redmi 5 Pro That is worth taking into account is the storage capacity, since it is also ahead here of what the other Xiaomi mid-range offers us in its standard version, with twice the internal memory (64 GB against 32 GB). In any case, in both we have a card slot micro-SD, which gives us the possibility of gaining space externally.
Cameras
The victory in the cameras section of the Notes redmi 5 Pro It is also quite forceful: this one leaves us a dual camera 12 MP and with pixels of 1,25 um, in addition to a front of 20 MP for fans of selfies; at We are Max 2, on the other hand, we find cameras of 12 and 5 MP, respectively, much more discreet.
Autonomy
El We are Max 2On the other hand, it is a real beast in the autonomy section and due to the results that we have seen it obtain in independent tests, the Notes redmi 5 Pro he might be content to stay more or less close. In any case, at the moment the only thing we can compare is the capacity of their respective batteries and victory is already comfortable for the first (4000 mAh against 5300 mAh), but you have to remember that your screen is also bigger.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi Max 2: final balance of the comparison and price
The great assets of We are Max 2 are clear and remain even in the face of this new Notes redmi 5 Pro, which is closer to it in screen size: yours is still much larger by far and it is also difficult to beat it in autonomy. It must be said, however, that if 6 inches is enough for us, the new model is not only much more compact, but it will also offer us a new processor, better cameras and double the storage capacity.
We must also bear in mind that getting the largest phablet will probably be more expensive, because we will have to wait to see what price you can buy the Notes redmi 5 Pro in our country, but a lot would have to rise so that of the 180 euros that the exchange costs in India, it reaches the 280 that the exchange costs We are Max 2.
