Popular Chinese brand Xiaomi introduced its second generation foldable flagship smartphone with the label Xiaomi MIX Fold 2. In addition, it is also the most expensive Xiaomi smartphone to repair, as revealed by new information as part of information leaks on the Internet.
Xiaomi MIX Fold 2: The most expensive to repair
Xiaomi has equipped its new foldable smartphone with the most advanced flexible display. However, we can definitely recommend caution or care or a good insurance policy to its owners. And that's precisely because the repair 120 Hz folding Samsung AMOLED panel is really expensive. We are getting down to the amount for which you can roughly buy an entire, full-fledged flagship smartphone.
MIX Fold 2 was launched with a very slim design and an integrated 8,02″ 2K display. However, this premium design also comes at a premium price when it comes to out-of-warranty service repairs. The Chinese manufacturer has now also published its service cost schedule.
For example, the cost of replacing the main LTPO AMOLED screen type Eco2 (in the 12 GB RAM / 256 GB storage configuration) stopped at the value 4899 Chinese yuan (converted to 715 € / 713 USD). That's more than half of the starting price of this folding device, which is 8999 Chinese Yuan (converted to 1314 € / USD 1310).
A new motherboard for this device costs "only" 2800 yuan (converted to 408 € / 408 USD). However, this is good news, considering that replacing the predecessor's motherboard was expensive up to 5100 yuan + service fee worth 40 yuan (converted to 744 € / USD 742 + service fee 6 € / 6 USD). With such amounts, the purchase of a new device is worth considering.
The official list of service charges that appeared on the Xiaomi website, you can see in the attached image below:
