Just days after announcing its latest flagship models, the Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max, on September 25th, Xiaomi quietly published important information on its website that should be of interest to users. Here are the official spare parts and repair prices for China.
Xiaomi 17 Pro prices vary
Starting at 4,999 yuan, some of these devices are quite affordable, while the main hardware components (motherboard and display) are quite expensive. The prices of accessories for everyday use for the Xiaomi 17 Pro are surprisingly low.
- A new battery costs just 199 yuan (approximately $28).
- A spare charger costs 55 yuan, and a data cable is only 19 yuan.
- Speakers: the top speaker costs 15 yuan, the bottom speaker costs 25 yuan.
However, the situation changes when it comes to cameras and key components:
- The wide-angle rear camera is listed at 450 yuan, and the periscope (zoom) camera is listed at 245 yuan. The biggest cost is the motherboard and display. Depending on the storage option, the 17 Pro motherboard starts at 2,730 yuan (12GB + 256GB) and goes up to 3,190 yuan for the top-of-the-line 16GB + 1TB configuration.
- An OLED screen replacement costs 990 yuan (approximately $139).
Xiaomi 17 Pro Max: The High-End Cost Difference
Prices for the more advanced Xiaomi 17 Pro Max are generally slightly higher:
- A screen replacement costs 1,050 yuan (approximately $147).
- The rear glass panel (battery cover) costs 495 yuan.
- Camera modules also see an increase: the telephoto camera costs 350 yuan, while the wide-angle rear camera costs 435 yuan.
- Motherboard prices are also the highest for this model; The entry-level model starts at 2,990 yuan, while the top-tier 16GB+1TB version costs 3,450 yuan (approximately $483).
This price list provides a clear answer to the question of how expensive it can be to repair a flagship phone. It reveals that if the device is dropped, repairing key components can cost nearly as much as a new mid-range phone. This once again reminds users of the importance of screen and motherboard insurance.
