Last week Xiaomi unveiled the Mi Mix 4 smartphone, which got a sub-screen front camera and other premium options. But as it turns out, you have to pay dearly for all of this - both when you buy it and afterwards, in case of a breakdown. The Chinese media got a price list for smartphone repairs, and the numbers in it are not insignificant.

What does it cost?

Not surprisingly, the most expensive component was the display. Its replacement in case of non-warranty repair will cost about $240 . By comparison, the flagship Mi 11 Ultra has a higher resolution screen and costs a bit more expensive - $254 dollars.

Next up is the Mi Mix 4's ceramic cover, which costs $105 to replace. The Mi 11 Ultra also has a ceramic back panel, but costs less - $69 . Apparently, the reason is that the Mi Mix 4 cover, as the manufacturer assures, is made by a new expensive technological process.

In addition, the modules of the main and wide-angle camera in case of non-warranty repair cost $12-13 , the camera with telephoto lens - 23 dollars, the battery - 24 dollars. Additionally, service personnel will charge another $6 for work.

 By the way, considering these rates, Mi Mix 4 becomes one of the most expensive Xiaomi smartphones by repair costs. More expensive than is only the repair of the foldable Mi Mix Fold.
