This is the gadget which makes you happy all the time with its awesome features. I was surprised and also confused by the size of product.
It resembles like almost a tablet.the Mi Max focuses purely on content consumption, be it videos, games, or even apps. Given its feature set and specifications, the Mi Max can be considered a larger rendition of the Redmi Note 3, another very popular phone.
The Mi Max is fairly slim at 7.5mm and there are chamfered edges along the metal body. The volume and power buttons are placed on the right and work well, with good tactile feedback. The hybrid SIM tray sits on the left. You can either have two SIM cards or one SIM and a microSD card(up to 128GB).

The 5.5" Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is a well-loved device(with good reason), the Mi Max is the same phone in Hulk mode. Aside from the extra screen size(37% more real estate), it adds 4K video and improves endurance with more storage options and a bigger battery.
I watch DLNA streaming movie on it, and no problem on the Wi-Fi streaming, no single disconnection or lag on the 2 hour movie, watching something that is 12GB in my hard drive.
Then, sunlight visibility is actually ok, not the best, but bright enough to use.
Forget those contrast under sunlight, all display just doesn’t look so good under sunlight, much more expensive phone also fail in this matter, so is a very common issue.
