All the colors have been said about the price of Xiaomi Mi 10 e Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro. It is true, the two flagship devices of the brand cost a lot but we have also widely discussed about the reasons. We also know that the production cost of these two smartphones is quite high, so it is impossible to ask for a final price that does not exceed the figures that we know. Despite this, however, Chinese users seem to appreciate the device, so much so that it reaches a record: 100.000 units sold every day. It will seem poco, but if you consider everything that has been said about its cost ...
Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro have a high price, but this does not stop sales
Based on what was revealed by the well-known site mydrivers that you find in source, the latest device of the brand, in particular the standard version, has reached the quota of 100.000 units sold daily in China. This is a very important sign that it makes us reflect on various aspects.
First of all, the price is not everything. If this argument is "negative", then it is also "positive": What we mean is: if a device is of quality, it is right that you pay. All users who bought Xiaomi Mi 10 in China have understood this and we hope that, upon arrival in Europe, we too will understand this.
Secondly, comparisons need to be made: high level devices and other brands, compared to the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro, how much do they cost? If we compare the price of the last one released at Xiaomi with other more famous smartphones, the answer comes for itself: the price is lower and a few hundred €. It is true that we have to wait for the official price to arrive in our currency, but now it is not possible to make reliable predictions and therefore we have to adjust according to the Chinese figures.
Okay, there is ... There is a but ... Even in the past years there has been a "gap" of characteristics and quality in the technical data sheet of the various "Xiaomi di Punta" but the price has never shot up as high as this one year. The other years we have also seen the changes above the hardware level on the new Xiaomi top of the range. It is a standard thing: if we talk about a flagship device, we always put the flagship snapdragon, then we increase RAM, cameras, displays, eventually we work on the materials of the terminal chassis, etc. etc. It always happens. But in the past years the price has always been... Read the rest »
Hi androboy86. I fully share what you say, 100%. But the technology goes on and increases in level (unlike our wallets) and therefore we must resign ourselves to the fact that a top of the range will cost more and more.
In my opinion, the truth is different. In recent years, the "new" top of the range took the place of the "old" top of the range with minimal changes regarding the price. This primarily because the cost of the "old" components was lowered and the development of the "new" components was paid for. Furthermore, it was believed that people did not want to spend over a certain threshold on a smartphone. Apple has taught everyone that - contrary to what was previously thought - the price can be significantly increased from year to year. Obviously it's not all that simple and simplistic (it is true that beyond... Read the rest »
To take the place of the "old", there has always been a step forward also in terms of price. In this specific case, however, the price of the components has skyrocketed at the source: an example above all is the price of the processor. What I mean is that it is not "Xiaomi raising prices binge", but there are real reasons behind this increase.
