THEprice increase of flagship smartphones has become a topic of great interest to consumers. Wang Teng, manager of Xiaomi and Redmi, recently shared its thoughts on the causes of this phenomenon, offering an in-depth perspective on the challenges manufacturers face in offering cutting-edge devices at affordable prices.
Xiaomi: The Reason Behind the Price Increase of Top-of-the-Range Devices
In a detailed analysis, Wang identified two key factors contributing to the rising costs: technological advances in processors and skyrocketing memory prices. The introduction of cutting-edge manufacturing processes such as 3nm, has allowed for faster and more efficient chips, but has also led to a significant increase in production costs. This technological leap, while offering superior performance, is inevitably reflected in the final price of flagship devices.
In addition to the processors, Wang highlighted how therising memory costs has had a significant impact on flagship prices. Over the past year, the memory market has seen a steady price increase, making high-capacity configurations much more expensive. This trend has made it particularly difficult for Xiaomi to counter the price increases.

Faced with these challenges, Wang Teng recognized the user concerns regarding price increases, but also highlighted Xiaomi and Redmi's commitment to trying to offer high-quality products at competitive prices. In a complex market context, finding the right balance between technological innovation and accessibility has become an increasingly difficult task for manufacturers and often buyers are not satisfied.
Despite the difficulties, Wang urged Xiaomi and Redmi fans to maintain faith in the company, promising that they will not be disappointed by the upcoming releases.Every good product deserves encouragement“, he said, stressing the importance of supporting innovation and quality in the smartphone sector.
