There is no doubt that the recently released Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 is one of the best smartphone in the world right now. But, new report just showed that repairing this device is also pretty expensive. In fact, the cost of repairing its display alone will be enough to buy a new decent mid-range smartphone. How so?
In its official website, Xiaomi released a list of the repair cost of the Mi Mix 4. The display alone will cost you about $239 (1550 yuan) to repair. That is like one-third of the cost of the entire Mi Mix 4 which has a starting price of $770.

Well, the display is not coming as a total shock. I mean, it took Xiaomi engineers three years to bring a display that can accommodate an under-display camera tech. So, it’s kind of expected that the display will be expensive to replace.
