Xiaomi Mi Max 2 is the latest flagship device which is more a phablet than a smartphone owing to its whopping 6.44-inch HD display screen size. The device is already up for sale and many of you might have ordered it and already received it. The specs are strong enough to go for the purchase because it has 5300 mAh battery and people are buying it more as a tablet rather than replacing their existing smartphone with it. If you have already purchased it, you might like to use your device to its fullest potential. For that, you must root Xiaomi Mi Max 2. In this article, we will show you how to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP recovery and finally root your device.

Why Should You Root Your Device?

If you are not sure how rooting your device can benefit you, the following will help you.

  • You can install any custom ROM and kernel available on the market and compatible with your device. Custom ROMs will boost your device performance and lower battery consumption by killing background processes and power consuming apps.
  • You can block all ads that generally come with all the apps these days.
  • You can customize your device exactly the way you want to. Lots of tweaks and tricks can be performed like never before.
  • Most importantly, you can uninstall bloatware which are pre-installed apps that are of no use to use.

Warning – Rooting your Mi Max 2 will make your warranty void.

Pre-Requirements
