A number of phone manufacturers have battery replacement plans where you can send in your old phone and have the battery replaced. The advantage is that you get to hold on to your phone for much longer and this also means there is less e-waste. Xiaomi also has its own battery replacement program and for a limited period, the service will cost 50% less.
The news has been well-received especially by owners of the Mi 6 flagship which launched in 2017 as it means the 2-year-old flagship can be held on to for longer. Its battery replacement is supposed to cost ¥99/15 (¥59 cost of battery + ¥40 for the replacement charge). However, the price slash means you only have to pay ¥49.5 (~$7).
The price slash began yesterday and it will run until the 10th of November. You also get a free screen protector applied for you. We have no info about the price for other models but since this is limited to China, not a lot of our readers will be able to take advantage of the price slash.
