Emir BardakçıThe repair of Xiaomi MIX flip screen: just how costly is a broken display? Xiaomi MIX Flip is a revolutionary product in the market for foldable smartphones. It comes with an incredible inner screen that is protected by Ultra Thin Glass. If you are in the world market, it is important to understand the world of repair before you consider purchasing.
VIP Services and Warranty Coverage
Xiaomi has its own support system for the higher end of foldable devices, which builds customer trust. The device in many global locations has the VIP Exclusive Service package. The package aims at reducing the risks inherent in the technology during the first few months of possession. With the use of Xiaomi HyperConnect, the devices can be seamlessly integrated into the entire Xiaomi ecosystem for monitoring.
The 6-Month Screen Guarantee
In my opinion, one of the main advantages is that Xiaomi is providing a free screen repair for a period of six months from its purchase date. The internal or external display of your Xiaomi phone gets damaged due to a fall; Xiaomi will replace that display for free.
Cost Analysis of Out-of-Warranty Repairs
After the first six months are over from the VIP period of the mishap of the initial release of the product, the price of repairing the Xiaomi Mix Flip becomes quite high. Replacing the folding display available in the internals of the product is quite complicated since it consists of tech gadgets.
- Internal Screen Replacement: Approximately $530 to $600.
- External Cover Screen: Around $170 to $230.
- Motherboard Repairs: Expenses can exceed $450 depending on the storage configuration.
- Battery or Back Cover: Generally costs between $80 and $120. Prices for this service are inclusive of parts as well as labor.
The fact that the internal screen is worth around 40% of the total cost of the device is reason enough to opt for cases that will protect it or even the additional protection offered by the Xiaomi Care+ program.
