Le Xiaomi TV and Redmi TV are among the products most appreciated by users, after smartphones. We also have the former in Europe while the latter are mostly sold in India. Today, however, we come to know (via Read) that the prices of these devices they will increase in the course of 2021. Some time ago the company president Wang Xiang had announced a increase in the price of smartphones and to think that this would have been the only sector affected is naive. But today comes the official announcement. Let's see what the brand tells us.
UPDATE AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE - 19/04/2021
Xiaomi TV and Redmi TV will see an increase due to many factors including pandemic and increase in component prices but do not worry
In accordance to announced from the brand itself a few hours ago, the Xiaomi TVs and the Redmi TVs will face a price increase. The official press release reads that "due to changes in global market supply and demand, epidemic and exchange rate changes, the prices of a variety of major TV components, including display panels and chips, will continue to fluctuate sharply in the near future". For a certain period, at least until the situation has returned to normal, costs will increase.
It must be said that the announcement was disclosed exclusively in China for the moment. However, if we consider that Xiaomi TVs and Redmi TVs are mostly built there, it is easy to think that not only Chinese prices will increase but also European ones. Despite this, however, there is no need to worry. It is the company itself that warns that it will do everything in its power to try to keep device prices competitive.
According to the Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily Samsung and Sony recently said that i prices of new phones will increase on average by 5-10%. this year. Unfortunately, Xiaomi TV and Redmi TV are not free from pandemics and similar problems.
SECURITY UPDATE TRAINING
Earlier than we expected, the Xiaomi TV department announced (via Read) the rise in the price of televisions across the range. As we have previously reported, due to the pandemic and the increase in chip costs, due to an increase in demand for the same, the The brand's televisions have begun to rise in cost. The first of the devices to see the increase is the Redmi MAX 86 ″ which has risen to well 9.999 yuan (€ 1.280 at current exchange rates) from 7.999 yuan (1.000 and at current exchange rates). The price trend was detected by JD, a well-known portal and official distributor of the brand's devices.
As you can see from the graph, the price trend has been rising for 60 days. In the first 30 days the cost went to establish itself at 8.999 yuan (1.150 € at the current exchange rate) but in the following 30 days it went up again by 1000 yuan, ending up at the historical maximum figure.
This trend regards Chinese prices as obvious and it is not certain that the same increases will also be applied to "global" televisions. However, it is clear that this is a black situation for the whole market: this means that we too will see an increase in prices in the coming months. Nothing has been officially announced yet but anyway we do not believe that the televisions already on the market will see an increase.
