Xiaomi Max will be released in May 10

If size doesn't matter, why is the whole industry wondering how big the upcoming Xiaomi Mi Max will be? Large screen lovers are said to be in for a treat, with a rumored display size of 6.4 inches, but Xiaomi is not giving us the exact details quite yet.

Ahead of the May 10 launch event, Xiaomi's Mi Max has been spotted in a GFXBench listing purportedly revealing the handset's details. According to the GFXBench listing, the Mi Max will feature a massive 6.4-inch full-HD display; run Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow; powered by hexa-core Snapdragon 650 processor; 2GB of RAM; 16GB of storage; 16-megapixel rear, and 5-megapixel front-facing camera.

There also seems to be some confusion about the placement of the fingerprint scanner, with the previous picture of the front panel revealing that there is no home button on the front of the unit. That means that on the Mi Max, the biometric scanner will be housed on the back of the phone. Yet, alleged renders of the phablet show a device that looks exactly like the Xiaomi Mi5 right down to the fingerprint scanner on the front of the device.

Additionally, Xiaomi's CEO Lei Jun has been spotted wearing a smart band, believed to be the Xiaomi Mi Band 2. In the image, Jun is seen wearing a smart band featuring a display. A recent report had claimed that the next-generation Mi Band would reduce wearable's dependence on the connected smartphone and would sport a small display. The report had stressed that the display on the new Mi Band would be a highlight feature and will be the biggest improvement over the older generation.
