Xiaomi is working on the second generation model of the Mi Max smartphone. Codenamed Oxygen, the Xiaomi Mi Max 2 will be almost like its predecessor. Following its recent appearance at the GFXBench, rumours continue to shroud around its specifications.

The Xiaomi Mi Max 2 will have similar physical profile as that of the first Mi Max. The Mi Max 2 features a 6.44-inch display with 1080×1920 pixel resolution. Under the hood, the Mi Max 2 will house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 chipset, not the Snapdragon 660 chipset as rumoured earlier.

The Snapdragon 626 chipset gives a ten percent performance bump over the Snapdragon 625 and capability to support the dual cameras. By default the Mi Max 2 will boot Android 7.1 Nougat with MIUI on top of it.

At the rear will be a 12-megapixel camera integrating a Sony IMX378 image sensor. This camera will also offer phase detection auto focus and HDR mode. On the front will be a modest 5-megapixel camera.
