Xiaomi launched its colossal 6.44-inch Mi Max phablet earlier this month, and the company is conducting an online live stream demonstrating the smartphone's battery life. The stream has been running for almost two weeks.
The stream launched on May 10 in the afternoon at 4 p.m. local time in China, immediately after the Xi Max's unveiling. The way it shows how the 4,850 mAh battery of the Mi Max phablet is performing is impressive to say the least. The huge battery size is accommodated thanks to the massiveness of the Mi Max phablet.
The live stream shows off the Mi Max in a small frame (to the right with an hourglass next to the phone). The phablet has a SIM card and is switched on. However, it is in standby mode and no apps are running.
Every hour, the livestream shares the Mi Max's screen being turned on for a moment to show that the handset is still running.
The Mi Max battery test has engaged several viewers - it amassed more than 20 million unique views in just 11 days of the stream going live. The broadcast is up on Bilibili, the Chinese video site, and continues to garner more views. The chat box/comments section is flooded with remarks from enthralled viewers who just can't seem to get enough of the Mi Max's battery test.
Here's a screenshot of the live stream that shows the Mi Max phablet (smaller frame) running well, with an hourglass next to it.
