First broken Xiaomi Mi 9 appears online


A few days ago, Chinese manufacturing giant, Xiaomi, released the Xiaomi Mi 9 which is its first flagship smartphone for this year. Earlier today, the company held the first official sale for the Mi 9 and as expected, this smartphone sold out in less than one minute – specifically 53 seconds. A couple of hours later, the first broken Xiaomi Mi 9 appeared online. Recall that the Mi 9 was released for 2999 Yuan ($448).

Gizchina News of the week


Looking at the damage from the image, it appears that the smartphone took a heavy hit on the down-left corner of the rear of this device and the cracks radiated up towards the camera. It is worth noting that Xiaomi Mall provides accident protection service for the Xiaomi Mi 9 at a price of 299 yuan ($45). When the smartphone is accidentally dropped, squeezed, collided or fluidized due to human factors (resulting in damage) the device will not be covered by the original factory warranty. Thus the small fee will be required for maintenance service.

Xiaomi Mi 9 was sold on many major e-commerce platforms (official data said that the Mi 9 sold out in 53 seconds), and the next round of sale is at 10 am on March 5.

      yes. But glass is glass, not polycarb. Glass can be very resistant to puncture, punch or pressure when hit on the plain surface, preferably with a 90 degree angle. But hit it from the angle, the edge or flanks, and it will crack. It’s not elastic. I really hate this fashion. Metal was already retarded, in addition to offer sad colors, it was easily damaged if dropped or even in the pocket. I fucked the back of two phones, while passing subway revolving doors. The door hit my pocket, fucked my phones. Glass is too fragile, smudges easily. And both those shit are naturally reducing phone connectivity. So much that engineers have to find ways to pass antennas…. how stupid is this ? A nice polycarb allows nice shapes, colors, thermo and shock resistance. I want polycarb to comeback. or wood.
