Xiaomi 18 Pro Max Unboxing: The REAL Max?. | Transcript:

I will do this very gently for you. Fast, ultrasonically fast Okay, time for Pro Max, another Pro Max. And I think you'll find it interesting. This is the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, which matches or is very close to launching, apparently, the iPhone 18 Pro Max. And they think their Pro Max is a champion. Of course, you'll have the opportunity to decide, but there are definitely some things in it that are quite different from what Apple does. The packaging here is really elegant and high-end because, I think, for starters, we're going to get more in the packaging, I guess. This is their big guy. This is their contender. This is 16 gigabytes of RAM,

1024 gigabytes of storage. It also has a monstrous battery. We'll look at that in a moment. And some other monstrous features. Great job. Good friction. Before I get to the main compartment, that's another matter. You see, we don't get this from manufacturers anymore, but Xiaomi does it for you. And they do it in a way that I can estimate, 100 watts in the box so you can charge quickly. And yes, this thing will have 100 watts of power, as well as 50 watts of wireless. So, it's still a bit ahead when it comes to Pro Max vs. Pro Max. More additional features.

Here is the device, but here it looks like we will get a case. It will be so. And you get a SIM card, a matte- finish case, and it's a relatively hard shell, but the edges are actually a little more flexible. So, you have something to help you take your device out of the packaging, protect it from scratches, etc. And this one is brilliant blue. Look at this. This is different. And you're looking at this now and thinking to yourself, " Okay, yeah, yeah, that looks like a typical camera unit." No, that's not typical at all. This whole thing here will glow. It will also have functionality because you will be able to control what those rear cameras see on that display. So, you use your best cameras with

monitoring capabilities. Well, this color is something new, that's for sure. I can't say I've seen this before. It's a bit like the night sky with all these shiny features representing stars. So, it has this polished frame, SIM card tray, Type-C connector, power, volume rocker, a dedicated button on the opposite side, marked with this red indicator. And because of the way they integrated the display and cameras, you're in a no-blur zone, ladies and gentlemen, on your desktop. And maybe I'm weird, the fact that I've even checked such things, but it happens so often that I type on the surface. And from a design perspective, it's nice that things don't get out of hand. Okay, you can call me crazy. The front camera is symmetrical in the center,

no fancy details under the display, everything is simple. The way they integrated this frame is just as polished as the main frame. The main frame, I'm going to break the main frame. So what does it mean to have the world's first 5GHz mobile processor? This means you will have an incredible gaming machine. You want the latest and greatest, you want us to play games, you want Will Dude to play Genshin Impact. We can connect this. Um, reboot. And another reason why this phone will do this is because it has a gigantic battery, with a capacity of 8500 mAh. How did they put him there?

Well, I'll tell you how they put him there. Silicon- carbon, tiny. Let me just get a new iPhone. I don't even know which one is heavier, probably the iPhone. It's all for show. We exhibit the most reliable museum exhibit for the simplest. This is for show. Okay, let's begin. 18 Pro Max and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max. I was right. My intuition was confirmed. Now Mo can insert the actual measurements in grams, but this phone has an 8,500 mAh battery and an additional display, but weighs less. I also notice how thin the bezel is. Very good screen-to-body ratio. In any case, how significant is it? I mean, it's not that big of a deal, but it's just interesting. So let's talk about cameras. They have an ongoing collaboration with Leica. It continues.

Main camera 200 megapixels f/1.67 optical image stabilization. It's also a large sensor, equivalent in size to the sensor Apple uses, but the difference is that on their zoom lens they've also included a massive sensor, not as large as the sensor on the main camera but significantly larger than competitors have for their telephoto lenses. They're very proud of it, and it's also a 200- megapixel sensor. Well, let 's look at 0.7 first. 0.7 two, 3.2. So, we move on to the score. And then we'll see what we're dealing with. We have a lot of paper, a lot of paper. This is on the height, this is on the zoom. This is a bit crazy for Zoom. When you see the paper, look at this red thread here. And one more thing I should mention, the telephoto lens supports

macro shooting from a distance of 12 cm. Wow. Look how small it is that you are looking at. That's it there, and look at the amount of detail we have here. This is this point. The display has a diagonal of 6.9 inches and has a privacy display function. They use some new hyper-RGB 2.0. So I'm going around this spot, you can still see the screen off-axis. It's just a little dimmer. Then I click the privacy button and it disappears completely. I can't read what's there. This is a cool feature. You act like you can't see what I'm looking at. Maybe you are a serious businessman. I don't know what you're reviewing here. Let me see if I look right.

Okay, with full-screen privacy enabled, it gets a little dimmer. I'll just show you what I mean, okay? Turning the top camera on and off. Turning on, turning off. So, it gets a little dimmer. I mean, first of all, you don't need to use this feature if you don't need that level of privacy, but suddenly you're on a plane and God knows what you're looking at. You can turn it on depending on the situation. You can choose specific apps, such as contacts and dialer, gallery, my password manager. Jeremy, don't make me a password manager. Although, are you dying? Don't manage your passwords in public with the guy next to you on the plane. Like, save that for later. If possible, even if you forget to add some apps, Privacy View

will be turned on automatically when you open sensitive pages such as password entry, payments, transfers, and messages. So you can set it up as if you guessed it would be confidential and then turn it on. So, the cool thing about this privacy mode is that you can go full screen or you can have it only in certain sections, like in this case, where it's in a single window. So you see how this square here is darkened and inaccessible. If you look straight ahead, everything is fine. So, it's just a gallery, but it can be any app you want to keep private, whether or not it's open while multitasking. Satisfactorily. So let me turn up the brightness and go to the settings. Oh, very bright.

Sunlight mode, watch it explode. I mean, it's not sunlight, but we have very bright light. I'll just leave it on. Adaptive refresh rate pro, gets more refresh rate options with brightness adjustment from DC to PWM. Wow, even more functionality here . Vision care, let me go crazy. I'll just lock it at 120. Yes, every app all the time, 120 all day every day. And Will appreciate it when he films his gaming segment. Oh, I need a weapon. What is going on here? By the way, Rapido. O. Rapido. Oh, ultrasonic rapido. Wow, my God, Louise. Look at how subtle the touch is. I can just knock. I don't even need to be there, just touch. That's all. Ultrasound is what you

need with them, because there is face unlock, but it is optical. So, it will just be a camera. This will be better than this. Barely touchable. I did n't even clench my thumb. I didn't squeeze. I'm telling you, there was no compression. You know what? I'm going to play around with the speakers first. He said there was an array of three speakers. Triple speaker system. One. loud in all directions. Where is the rhythm falling? It's coming. Let's start. I think when you hold it, yeah, it'll shoot out, you know, like this and maybe bounce off your hand a little bit. Pretty good.

Now you're starting to understand this rear display. This is the most interesting. Double tap to wake and learn about the rear display. Let's begin. Swipe right to open the camera. Different styles we can choose from. This is the default clock. However, I can switch it. Well, how about a cool koala for you? We will touch twice. It will become a little brighter. Look at him. Then we'll swipe up. We see, oh, come on, maybe we just want to see our battery there. Look at this, okay? 57 9 hours 41 minutes from me.

We have a large battery. We'll swipe up from there down. Upcoming events, desktop calendar, top-down, notifications, and Look at it like flights, timers. We swipe.Oh, look at this. We can just change the guy's mood. You can now use the camera on the rear display. Yes, let's do this. Camera on the rear display, then check this out. Show your palm to take a photo, i.e. gesture-based. This is cool. Press the volume button to take a photo. We know about it. And then we also have something like an overlay for scaling. We can use our big telephoto lens with a massive sensor and 200 megapixels, but while we're at it, we actually have all the camera settings right here.

Flash, fill light, HDR, aspect ratio. Selfies use the rear camera. At this stage, it's a completely different matter. Once the selfie uses a different camera, look at the eye. Who's kidding who? You know, the only other way to do this elegantly is with foldable devices, but they get much bigger and bulkier in terms of portability. Having that rear monitor is a whole other thing. You can imagine a video blog or something like that. Let me just switch it to video. Yes, I'm just talking. I just walk and talk. I use my good camera. Everything is reliable. And that feels normal. As if that doesn't feel strange. I can see what's in the frame, thanks to the ability to monitor this frame.

Instead I get.There is some sound insulation. Oho. This is a video. This is a frame. This is a video frame. Do you see his beard? This is a video frame, dude. I just realize that this was a video I shot in 4K? I don't think so. No, it was definitely 1080 30. Let me try again. I'm going to upgrade to 4K. I want to see what 4K 60 looks like. This is my manual focus. Okay, this lens can focus very close. And when they were talking about 12 cm, I see your fingerprints. I want to switch to a telephoto lens.

Stay where you are, then go back to 1X. What's in the frame? And then go back to the telephoto lens. This is a large lens. I'm fine. Yeah, I'm just like: Wow. Hooray. Is it necessary to connect it to charging? Wow. I knew you knew how to play this game, man. Good. Is it necessary to stand here? Just hang over your head. Good. What do you want? So, I didn't play this game. It's called Blood Strike.

Lou wants me to play it. So, let's begin. As you can see, the refresh rate and frame rate are 120. Everything is ultra. We had to download the ultragraphics package. It's something like Fortnite. Something like Call of Duty. Uh, reboot. I thought you said it would be easy. Uh, I need a weapon. Oh, God. Oh, Cruel. Oh. Oh, man. Cool. Okay, I mean, not bad for a first time. I won. I committed three murders. Steeply. So, here it is. This is the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max. Now tell me, what is the real Max? What does Max even mean in 2026? Is this about the external display? Maybe it's about maximum battery capacity, maximum screen, or screen-to-body ratio. I do n't know. But the thing is, you have a Pro Max

to choose from that isn't made by Apple.
