The wait for the new Xiaomi flagship, the Mi 10 and its Pro variant, seems to have come to an end considering that according to the latest rumors, the presentation date has been brought forward to February 7. Di Xiaomi Mi 10, in recent months the various increasingly insistent leaks have revealed a good part of the technical and design features. Therefore, the last piece of this tech puzzle could not be missing, namely the sale price that according to the latest rumors, will be around 1000 euros.
Xiaomi Mi 10 at the top also in the price ... goodbye savings philosophy?
A truly exorbitant figure and far from the philosophy that Xiaomi has accustomed us to today. Before giving however hasty negative judgments on the matter, we remember that the indication of the price is not official but comes from the colleagues of the blog 01net.com, who hypothesized the price for the new family of top range smartphones of the Chinese company. The hypothesis of the price also enters the fact that Xiaomi on the new Mi 10 will invest a lot in terms of advertising, marketing operation that will be reflected in a negative way on the final price of the device.
A risky, almost courageous choice, which originates from previous episodes by other companies, such as Huawei, which has invested heavily in the media presence in our country, in order to make the company known to all consumers and encourage them to choose of their products.
Furthermore, the high price at the launch of the future Xiaomi Mi 10 could in part be justified as a marketing strategy towards the cousin Mi Note 10, also offered on day one at a price considered too high, so much so that after a few days it could be found at considerably lower price on online sites. So think about the fact that those who purchased Mi Note 10 at the list price could spin the boxes like a turbine if Mi 10 followed the launch strategy of the predecessor Mi 9, a true top of the range that at the time caused a sensation. for the low launch price.
In short, the Mi Note 10 would already be "obsolete" considering that on balance Mi 10 is an evolution of this device, so if it cost less it would really be a paradox. Xiaomi is therefore faced with a crossroads: take the road traveled with Mi 9, where a low price equals many sales or raise the list and make your way among the great competition that populates the top of the range sector, but at that point who would buy a Xiaomi device at around 1000 euros? I personally believe that the Chinese company will opt more for the second route, also chasing the policy that has long put OnePlus on the bench.
The price, however, will not be 1000 euros but I am almost convinced that this will be for the basic version equal to 869 euros. So the bets are open: who will guess the launch price of Mi 10? But above all, would you be willing to spend such an important amount for a Xiaomi? We will find answers to all these doubts in the days to come.
1000 euros for an Android I would never wear them!
If these prices are confirmed there is not the slightest comparison with Oneplus, both in terms of constructiveness and system bug, I speak as the owner of mi9
A thousand euros, if we go to examine the offer of the device in addition to the real top of the range 2019, in addition to the 5g module, memory / refresh / what else? Nothing, type-c video output? A desktop mode? The usual future of the lame miui, will be the usual camera problems 📸 at dusk and better not to shoot, no xiaomi shelf and their top of the range over 450 euros are not worth, and at that price better a used huawei, samsung, asus, alive than a senseless new phone from xiaomi. Do you want the money? Take a serious smartphone.
I fully agree, the only phone that could compete with the real top of the range was the mi2 then just smoke, xiaomi was even able to convince itself that the optical stabilizer was not needed!
