What will you think if a Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro that normally costs 5299 yuan ($820) is offered to you for only 700 yuan ($108)? Will you feel lucky or you will think it’s a scam? Recently, potential buyers of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro had to deal with this situation. In the early hours of today, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro was listed on Xiaomi Mall for only 700 yuan ($108). In addition, this is the price for both the 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 256GB versions. Furthermore, you will also get a custom T-shirt as a gift. Of course, this price was never real, it was only a bug price.
Why the bug price?
Presently, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro has an official 500 yuan ($77) discount. Also, there is a 200 yuan ($31) coupon code which takes the total discount to 700 yuan ($108). Instead of listing this device as having a possible 700 yuan ($108) discount, the system listed the device as selling for 700 yuan ($108).
As of now, those who had successfully placed the order are waiting for a follow-up. They do not know whether the official delivery will still pull through. Well, we will wait for official information but Xiaomi will probably not make the delivery.
This is not the first time that a bug will significantly reduce the price of a product. Recall that earlier this year, the Samsung Galaxy S21 was listed for only 799 yuan ($124). In the end, Samsung’s solution was very generous. Although the company did not ship the device for 799 yuan ($124), it returned the 799 yuan ($124). In addition, it gave the customer a 4000 yuan coupon ($619) for the Galaxy S21.
