Xiaomi Starts New Battery Replacement Plan For Just Rs. 520

A few days ago, Xiaomi announced that it would begin a relief service month starting from March 1. The main purpose is to provide users of Xiaomi's smartphones and home appliances with a number of services such as free cleaning, maintenance, and disinfection.

Now, the company has said that it will open a battery replacement service for some smartphones for only CNY 49 (around Rs. 520) in China. It is known that the service month will last from March 1 to the end of March 31, 2020.

During this period, users can bring Xiaomi products for cleaning, disinfection (using ultraviolet rays to disinfect) and free maintenance, as well as replacing batteries for their smartphones for only around Rs. 520. 

According to the previous plan, this ‘special’ battery replacement service will be applied to the Xiaomi Mi 8, Mi 9, Mi MIX 2, Mi MIX 3, Mi MIX 2s, Mi MAX 3, Redmi 6 and even Redmi 6A. 

In the latest announcement, the Chinese phone maker said it will add 15 new models to this plan, including Xiaomi Mi 8 SE, Mi 8 Explorer Edition, Mi 8 Youth Edition, Mi 8 Pro, as well as Mi 9 SE, Mi 9 Pro 5G and Mi 9 Explorer Edition.

It is known that CNY 49 (around Rs. 520) is the final fee that users have to pay to replace the battery, including the cost of components and replacement parts. In addition, the brand will not charge any other fees from users. Sadly, this plan is only available in China and the brand doesn’t say anything about bringing the plan to other markets.
