According to its official listing, the upcoming model will be equipped with an octa-core Qualcomm chip clocked at 2.02 GHz, along with 4GB of RAM for hassle free multi-tasking. Rumor has it that the device will be available in two variants: one equipped with a Snapdragon 626 SoC (just as the one in the listing) and another (more powerful) with a Snapdragon 660 SoC.
The listing also confirmed that the Mi Max 2 will boast a 6.4-inch 1080p display and it will be available in 64GB and 128GB versions, along with a 12MP main camera, a 5MP selfie camera and Android 7.1.1 Nougat with MIUI 8 on top.
Rumor has it that the device will be officially unveiled today, Thursday so we’ll just have to wait a few more hours to find out what happens.
