Xiaomi discontinued its Mi Max lineup after three generations of smartphones, but now it is reviving the big-screen life with the newly introduced Redmi Note 9 Pro Max.
The phone is built around a 6.67-inch screen in a more compact body, as well as four cameras on the back and a selfie shooter within a punch hole.
The Redmi Note 9 Pro Max is powered by the 8nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G chipset, coupled with 6 GB or 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage.
The four cameras on the back are mounted on a square elevated tile with the LED flash sitting below. The main shooter has a 64MP sensor and next to is is an 8MP ultrawide angle cam with 119-degree FoV sitting.
The bottom row is for the 5 MP macro camera and the 2 MP depth sensor. The Note 9 Pro Max will also support RAW photography and improved Night Mode.
The in-display selfie camera is 32MP, which is the highest ever resolution in a Redmi Note smartphone.

The Redmi Note 9 Pro Max comes with a huge 5,020 mAh battery and comes with 33W fast charging support. Better yet, the required charger will be supplied in the box.
The Redmi Note 9 Pro Max has Gorilla Glass 5 on both sides for extra protection and comes in three colors – Aurora Blue, Glacier White, and Interstellar Black.
