At present its not known which variant of the Mi Max is heading to India, but if we had to venture a guess the 3GB RAM variant with 32GB storage would be the perfect fit.
In terms of cameras too, the Mi Max is similar to the Redmi Note 3 with a 16MP f/2.0 rear camera along with 5MP front-facing camera. But given the larger display, Xiaomi has packed a massive 4850 mAh battery to keep the MIUI 8 device running. Connectivity options include the common 4G LTE dual-SIM with VoLTE support, WiFi, GPS, USB OTG and there's NFC for good measure.
