Lenovo Phab 2 Plus vs Xiaomi Mi Max: Battle of the big-screen phablets

Lenovo's new Phab 2 Plus comes with a dual-rear camera setup, and we compare it to the only phablet in the same price category

Lenovo recently launched its Lenovo Phab 2 Plus in India at Rs 14,999; a successor to the company’s original Phab Plus phone. Lenovo’s mid budget phone finds itself priced in one of the most competitive segments in the Indian smartphone market among other phones like – Moto G Plus (4th Gen), HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle and Samsung Galaxy J7. Today however, we will be focussing on the Phab 2 Plus when pitched against a popular budget smartphone from Xiaomi – the Mi Max, a fellow phablet design.
Lenovo Phab 2 Plus and the Xiaomi Mi Max are priced exactly the same. Both devices also feature 6.4-inch displays, 3GB RAM and 32GB of storage; but this is where the similarity ends. Xiaomi Mi Max features a massive 4850 mAh battery compared to Phab 2 Plus’ 4050 mAh battery. Mi Max is also 15gms lighter than the Phab 2 Plus, at just 203gms.
Phab 2 Plus comes with a dual-rear camera setup that can let users take DSLR-style picture. The Mi Max on the other hand comes with a 16MP primary camera. The selfie shooter on the Phab 2 Plus is 8MP against the Mi Max’s 5MP camera.
