With the clearance of the rumored smartphone by the NCC, you can expect an imminent launch. Based on reports, the Lei Jun-owned company will launch Mi Max 2 on May 25.

With Certification number CCAF174G0200T0, the Xiaomi Mi Max 2 provides support for a wide range of mobile network such as FDD-LTE 2600 (B7), 1800 (B3), 900 (B8) MHz, TD-LTE 2600 (B38), 2500 (B41) MHz, W-CDMA 2100 (I) MHz, and GSM 1800/900 MHz. Moreover, the smartphone also passed through Bluetooth and Wireless LAN.

With the NCC certification, we can infer that the Mi Max 2 is all set for launch at the scheduled time and date. You should note that MDE40 is a terminal model number, which is unpublished.

The sketch of the rear side showcases the rear camera alongside LED flash on the left side. We can clearly spot the fingerprint sensor towards the middle on the rear side. You will find the placeholder for the IMEI number below the scanner.

Towards the bottom, we can see the traditional mi logo with the required regulatory information and stamping of the statutory CE logo.

On the specifications front, the Xiaomi Mi Max 2 will feature a 6.4-inch FHD display, Snapdragon 660 processor coupled with 6GB RAM. There are reports that Xiaomi is planning to unveil a standard variant of Mi Max 2 with Snapdragon 630 processor and 4GB RAM.

While the Pro model will ship with 128GB storage, the standard version will have 64GB storage. Moreover, the capacity of the camera sensor will be larger than the currently available Xiaomi Mi Max.

We can confirm that Xiaomi Mi Max 2 will ship with Android Nougat. However, there are conflicting reports about the version number. Since Xiaomi has already started the Nougat beta preview program, you can expect Android 7.0 Nougat followed by a stable release of Android 7.1 Nougat. You need not have to expect MIUI 9 with the handset. We expect Xiaomi to push MIUI 9 towards the middle of August 2017.
