Huawei recently started selling the Huawei Mate X in China, which is the company’s first foldable smartphone that was first unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain in February this year.
Now, weeks after the device is available for purchase in the market, the Chinese giant has now announced pricing for repairing and different parts of the smartphone. Among all of them, the screen replacement is the costliest.
While it makes sense that the screen replacement is the costliest given that the smartphone has a foldable display, but the pricing is very high. The company reveals that the screen replacement on the Huawei Mate X will cost whooping 7,080 yuan, which roughly converts to $1,007.
Apart from that, it seems that the battery replacement will cost 278 yaun (approximately $40) while the motherboard repair is priced at 3,579 yaun that roughly converts to $509. The camera replacement will cost 698 yuan (approx. $99) to the users.
