Xiaomi Mi Mix Pro for $520? Is It a Good Deal?

Hi Mi users. I'm thinking about buying a Mi Mix Pro as a side phone, but I'm not sure about the deal.
I found a new Mi Mix Pro in Ali Express for $520 unlocked, either Chinese version, or the seller can flash a global Rom on it. It is free shipping to the U.S. It comes with the standard packaging.
So the question here is, is it a good deal? if no, what is the good deal price?

This is the AD.

Yes for the 6gb/256gb good price

Great deal...

I paid $500 for a used 4gb Mix in the US. $520 for a new 6gb is CHEAP.

Hi I've read a lot of reviews from people ordering it from Chinese based sites such as gearbeast that remove the accessories and sell them separately. I ordered mine new from eBay.

I bought a 6GB/256gb second-hand Xiaomi Mi MIX spent 2600RMB,only used for half a year, the warranty has six months left, the appearance of the Xiaomi Mi MIX perfect,I'm from China.
My English is very poor●▽●

I can't tag your id, my Chinese is very poor eh. When you buy a second hand mix; It's better to see with close look on your hands. Since it's screen gets some tiny hairline scratches easily. Anyway, hopefully worth 2600RMB(My knowledge of Chinese currency is very poor too). ♡(∩o∩)♡

The best phone system in China is MIUI.What is the reason for the unpopularity of MIUI in the US?Because it's not neat enough?

Well princess; first of all, the id stuff was a joke, anyway. Glad you've got it with protector on, I guess American fellas would have what they want from ebay, Aliexpress or any site as others. $383 is very good price if your device is clean as you said. Congratulations.

Why don't you stick to mobile phone screen protective film to protect your mobile phone?In my eyes is difficult to understand these things.

Because there is no a good screen protector for this device which completely covers the whole screen in my area. I bought(online) 3 different protectors, one looks awkward, oily look on the middle of screen, one looks mirror-ish and i cant see the screen under the sunlight, one was piece of sh1t. That's why i used(tried so) for one week and got scratches in my jacket's pocket without another stuff inside my pocket. I used my s6e+ 1.5 years without protector; there wasnt a scratch like mix got in a week. Using an awkward one now again though.

Most phones sold in America are bought directly from carriers and Xiaomi isn't a brand marketed here which is why most people here don't know about Xiaomi and MIUI.
The Mi Mix is my first Xiaomi phone and this is the first time I've seen MIUI. I really like MIUI so far and I love the Mi Mix! Also, congratulations on the great deal on your Mi Mix!

Different marketing strategies - forcing buyers to "snap up" new models works in India or China, would probably not work so well in the US or other "western" countries.
Mi 6 can be bought at leasure on Aliexpress, no need to "snap up".

Where to get the Xiaomi Mi 8 (& Explorer Edition) (a.k.a. shops'n'prices)

Mod Edit: Content Removed. Referral links are not allowed on xda. Google the device to find where to buy it! Thread closed.

Great post, I'll be following. I'm interested in the Explorer Edition, but not sure if we;ll be able to get it in the UK.

What does the hardcoded region mean? What happens after flashing a global rom or say project treble?

AT&T LTE support??

Source that it'll be available via Amazon Germany? Sounds pretty unlikely.

600x black, 600x white and 600x blue now on Aliexpress for 475€ + shipping from MIUI Global Store.

Mix 2S has the same thing and CN-model owners have had lots of trouble flashing Global ROM and having it work properly. Supposedly (according to user on MIUI forum) Xiaomi no longer wants users to flash global ROM on Chinese device.

I was thinking about ordered direct from taobao and reshipping to the UK to save money on the explorer. I'm glad you've mentioned this I'll wait to here if the issue is the same with the mi 8

Hello guys, i am interested too in a mi 8 or 8 SE so if you are kind and tag me or something when you find a good offer for them. I want it too with DHL no customs, goldway.
Anyway, when will de global launch?

Let's wait Mi8 to come and then the price will be slightly reduced from day to day!
Keep patient, as for shops Gearbest and Bangood make the difference to me.

Question Where to buy from?

I've ordered from trading Shenzhen and giztop before. Both are pretty fast. Tradingshezhen customer service sucks though, I asked if I would be able to return a phone if I left it brand new sealed in box and they told me I would have to pay $50 + return shipping + I think 20% restocking fee and I better like the phone. I would have understood if it was something like shipping + 10%, but what rubbed me wrong was how they told me that I better like the phone. I kid you not that's exactly how they said it to me lmao. Giztop was okay, their support was a lot more professional but they got some information wrong and they also took too long to ship out the phone I initially wanted. I eventually ended up cancelling the order and ordering a different phone from them. That one came pretty quickly at least. I used the GTRE4 code or something like that to get a discount as well. Both places have marked up prices compared to ali so you are paying a premium for faster shipping.
I've ordered my mi11 from aliexpress since it was the cheapest option, and only like $20 more for twice the storage. Plus most places didn't have the leather options that I wanted. Hopefully it ships out soon. I remember I ordered a poco f2 pro from aliexpress and it never shipped even after waiting over a month. I ended up cancelling the order and getting the ace2 from giztop.

Question Where to buy?

Where is everyone picking these up at? Sale Prices?

Nice question.

I bought it on AliExpress when the early bird discount was on, you can still purchase it for the normal retail price, they ship from China, Spain, France and/or Poland.

Ok, Thanks. I will wait for it to go back on sale in the future... shouldn't take long to be back on sale with all the new phones being released.

I've been keeping an eye on Aliexpress these days and found the price fluctuating a lot. Alarmingly so.
And there're not many sellers having this phone, so the choices are limited.
I have a feeling that Xiaomi is spitting new phones way too fast that the retailers and consumers can't keep up.

I bought from Aliexpress launch special at https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wor...108MP-Camera-Snapdragon/1005002136612866.html

I dont know about Giztop but I ordered from Tradingshenzen this Mi 11 Ultra and last year K30 Pro Zoom and everything was perfect, shipping was faster than Aliexpress and they test the phone before they ship it, also you get a discount code for next buys. 10/10 for me.

I just received my phone from Giztop, 256GB Ceramic Black China ROM. I selected express shipping and got it in around 7 days. It came via DHL from HK shipped to my house in US. I selected the 67W charger which came in the box as well. I had no issues and can recommend them.

Ordered from tradingshenzen. Took few days to get it delivered from China to Switzerland. Customs was included. Can't complain at all.

Currently, there's no official way to get the Mi 11 Ultra. As soon as credible stores have the phone, I will list it here.
