The Xiaomi Mi Max redefined big-screen smartphones in India, and the Mi Max 2 builds on that legacy. Launched last month at just Rs. 17,999, it boasts a premium metal body and outstanding battery life.
With its massive 6.44-inch display, the Mi Max 2 excels at multimedia, but these seven practical tips will help you unlock its full potential for everyday use.
Contents:
1. Customize contrast and colors
2. Use the Quick Ball menu
3. Adjust notification panel
4. Disable notification icons
5. Choose the right one-handed mode
6. Switch to reading mode
7. Mono audio playback
The Mi Max 2's expansive screen delivers rich, vibrant colors. If the default contrast doesn't suit you, tweak it easily in settings. Choose from three options: Auto Contrast (adapts to ambient light), Enhanced Contrast (sharper visuals), or Standard (consistent levels).
Pair it with color modes like Warm, Standard, or Cool for a personalized viewing experience.
The 6.44-inch display makes one-handed navigation tricky, but Quick Ball changes that. This floating shortcut menu, found in Additional Settings, mimics features like Samsung's Edge panel.
Customize its five shortcut sets and position it on-screen edges for quick access to apps and tools.
MIUI lets you tailor the notification panel to your workflow. Switch between Combined (unified view) or Separated (notifications above, quick settings below) layouts.
The Separated option provides more space for both. For more, check tricks to customize your Android Quick Settings menu.
Keep your status bar minimalist by hiding notification icons. Head to Settings > Notifications & Status Bar to toggle it off.
Customize battery display too: Chart, Percentage, or Top Bar styles.
Perfect for videos on the big screen, but one-handed operation is key for tasks. Select 3.5-inch, 4-inch, or 4.5-inch shrunken layouts.
Activate by swiping the home button toward the back button; tap the shaded area to expand.
The clear display shines for e-reading, but reduce eye strain with Reading Mode, which cuts blue light.
Set it to auto-activate in your favorite e-reader apps to prevent headaches and blur.
