The Xiaomi Mi Max has finally made its India debut, unveiled alongside the brand’s new MIUI 8 Global ROM. The massive phablet is set to be sold via a flash sale taking place on July 6 at 2pm through the company’s own website.
The Xiaomi Mi Max will then hit partner platforms on July 13. The manufacturer has brought along two variants of the phone to India. One costs Rs 14999 and comes with 3GB of RAM, 32GB of ROM and a Snapdragon 650 processor. The other is priced at Rs 19999 and sports 4GB of RAM, 128GB of ROM and a Snapdragon 652 SoC.
Only the cheaper variant of the phone will be up for sale at first, with Xiaomi promising to release the more expensive one soon. The company is trying to attract potential buyers by giving away 3 months of free movies and a year’s worth of unlimited music via Hungama Play for the first 1 million Mi Max, Mi 5, and Redmi Note 3 consumers.

It’s also letting the first 10000 Mi Max users stream Batman vs. Superman for free. Watching movies and TV shows is a big part of the phablet’s appeal thanks to its huge 6.44-inch screen. The gargantuan display is matched by an equally massive 4850mAh battery which can apparently power 14 hours of video playback.
