A recent listing on Jingdong (JD.com) for the Mi 9 Transparent Edition brought to light the need to properly check if the memory variant on offer for any smartphone officially exists. The Mi 9 Transparent Edition was listed with an 8GB+128GB variant but the Mi 9 Transparent edition is only available in 8GB+256GB and 12GB+256GB memory variants.
The error was spotted by a netizen who reached out to Xiaomi‘s product director Wang Teng-Thomas to find out if such memory variant existed. The product director revealed that the Mi 9 Transparent edition with 8GB+128GB storage wasn’t produced. But then, the model was listed with a price tag of 3359 yuan, lower than the 3999 yuan price for the 8GB+256GB variant. Except Xiaomi is working on the 128GB storage variant, the listing could be fraudulent. Even the 3999 yuan price for the 256GB variant is higher than that on Xiaomi’s official website where the 8GB+256GB variant of the Mi 9 Transparent version is listed for 3699 yuan. Our check reveals the option to select 8GB+128GB variant for the Mi 9 Transparent Edition has been disabled.
The Mi 9 is Xiaomi’s flagship for 2019. It has an 8GB+128GB variant, as well as 6GB+128GB. The Transparent version is available in 8GB+256GB and 12GB+256GB memory.
