When the Xiaomi Mi MIX was announced among with the Xiaomi Mi Note 2, many Mi fans stood in queue overnight to get their hands on those amazing devices. Many customers were laughing at them thinking only iPhone deserves such an attitude. But the time showed those fans were right – the first bunch of Xiaomi Mi MIX was sold out in 10 seconds; the second bunch was sold out in 30 seconds; and finally, the third bunch became available for purchase on November 29. Thus people have been waiting for an edge-to-edge-screen phone, and such products are required much. But everything has two sides, the Xiaomi Mi MIX is no exception. The bezel-less screen is great and it provides a great displaying experience in terms of rich colors. But as you can guess, it’s very fragile at the same time. However, there is a special Xiaomi accidental damage insurance that can be very useful in these cases.
We have already seen the Xiaomi Mi MIX damaged after falling on the floor. Even the protection case doesn’t save the phone from damaging. Many can think that’s not a problem, as the phone screen can be repaired easily. But I guess you don’t know it costs 1350 Yuan ($196) for the Xiaomi Mi MIX. Well, there is also a yearly insurance at 249 yuan ($33.5), but what it covers still remains a big mystery. Fortunately, Mi fans have ‘investigated’ and found out that a new phone can be got in some cases.
Obviously, this insurance differs from other similar services coming our way from other manufacturers. The Xiaomi accidental damage insurance can be acquired when buying the Xiaomi Mi MIX, Mi Note 2, or Redmi 4. It is valid for one year. It differs from the regular broken-screen insurance in terms of scope.
The most common damages for a smartphone are breaking screen, dropping in water or accidentally squeezing. All these cases are not covered by traditional insurance, but they are done by Xiaomi accidental damage insurance. To get this insurance service, you should accept an exclusive push in 3 hours after receiving it. It should be activated in the next 3 days. But once you missed it for some reason, it can be done during the next 7 days if visiting the nearest Xiaomi repair service, I guess.
So if you take care of your Xiaomi Mi MIX handset, this service costing only 249 yuan ($33.5) should be accepted without doubt. Once your phone was accidentally damaged you should send it to the designated service location and get your new device within a week. The shipping costs will be charged at your side.
