Why buy the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max
- Two 200MP cameras. Both the main and the 3.2x periscope camera use 200MP sensors with OIS, so zoomed photos keep a lot of detail.
- Selfies with the main cameras. The rear screen lets you frame shots with the 200MP main camera instead of the front camera.
- Big battery, three ways to charge. 8,500mAh with 100W cable charging, 50W wireless and 27W reverse wireless for earbuds or a watch.
- Privacy on a crowded matatu. The hardware privacy mode narrows viewing angles, so the person next to you cannot easily read your screen.
- Strong 50MP autofocus selfie camera. It records 4K at 60fps, good for vlogging and video calls.
