Xiaomi heavily discounts battery replacements on dozens of older phones

Xiaomi is kicking off February with a new round of after-sales perks. The company has announced its February Super Service Week, running from February 1st to February 8th, during which the brand is offering discounts on battery replacements, device cleaning, and appliance servicing across China.

The headline offer this time is a 20% discount on smartphone battery replacements. According to Xiaomi, the program will cover 70 phone models with replacement prices starting at 79.2 yuan after the discount. 

The list goes back to 2020

What’s notable is how far back the supported models go. The list includes several older flagships, such as the Xiaomi 10 series, Xiaomi 11 Pro, and Xiaomi Mix Fold.

For instance, the Xiaomi 10 series was launched back in February 2020. At the time, CEO Lei Jun described the Xiaomi 10 as a product designed to break free from strict price constraints and push Xiaomi firmly into the high-end smartphone market.

The battery discount isn’t limited to flagships either. Xiaomi says models like the Redmi 10A, Redmi Note 9, Redmi K40 series, and even the newer Redmi K80 series are also part of the program. 

Beyond phones, Xiaomi’s Super Service Week also includes double discounts on old appliances for trade-ins, 50 percent off deep cleaning and maintenance for laptops, and a fixed price of 99 yuan for cleaning and maintenance of air conditioners and washing machines.

Xiaomi Service is also using the campaign to remind users about everyday battery care, encouraging more “scientific” charging habits and avoiding extreme temperatures to help extend battery life. 

Xiaomi has been running such programs regularly in China to let users make the most out of their smartphones. For now, though, these initiatives are limited to just the mainland. 

It’s hard not to wish Xiaomi would bring similar programs to global users as well, especially as phones get more expensive and people hold onto their devices longer than ever.
