Yesterday, Xiaomi officially released the Xiaomi Mi MIX Alpha 5G concept smartphone. It sports a 180.6% ratio screen, 5G, 100MP triple-camera, and is priced at 19,999 yuan ($2804). It is expected to go on sale at the end of December.
However, many consumers are dissatisfied with the price of the Xiaomi Mi MIX Alpha 5G. According to Lei Jun, the mission of MIX concept phone is to make a truly subversive at all costs. Xiaomi engineers also confirmed that the mass production of this phone is very difficult. And only one of 100 units can be used. From the side, we can see that the cost and labor input of the Mi MIX Alpha is very large.
Li Nan made a rough calculation of the cost of the Xiaomi Mi MIX Alpha 5G concept smartphone yesterday. Also, he provided some details concerning this or that part. And it turned out that 19,999 yuan price tag makes Xiaomi stay without a benefit when selling such a handset. In other words, if Xiaomi gets 5% from other phones it sells, this concept phone doesn’t provide even such a profitability.
