If you are thinking of trading your old Xiaomi smartphone for a new one, then Xiaomi India’s in-house ‘Mi Exchange’ service can help you reach your goal seamlessly. Created specifically for loyal Xiaomi enthusiasts, the idea is to provide instant credit along with a discount when turning in your old device, and then apply the credit and discount when obtaining a new device.
The program starts with you first choosing the new Xiaomi device you want to purchase. Once you have selected your preferred smartphone, you will be required to provide the details of your old device, such as its IMEI number and condition, based on which the exchange value will be chosen. The exchange value will then be used as credit, which will be deducted from the total price of your new Xiaomi device, along with any instant discount offers as well. Finally, during the delivery of your new device, you need to hand over your old device and start enjoying your new one.
One of the major benefits of the ‘Mi Exchange’ program in India has always been the sheer convenience, as you do not have to deal with the hassle of selling your old device. And there are the obvious benefits of being safe and secure while also obtaining additional discounts. So, if you are ready to upgrade from your age-old Xiaomi device to a new one, then you can easily do so by simply following our comprehensive guide carefully.
