The Mi 6 is Xiaomi's top phone of 2017 and the last 16:9 large coffee-featured top Xiaomi. The phone also currently has 2 million active users.
The Mi 8 is the successor to the Mi 6, it was the first notch, small coffee top from Xiaomi, and for some reason a favourite of slightly absent-minded developers, last time for example Windows 11 put on a copy.
Editor of the Chinese portal Mydrivers noticedthat an interesting trend has started in the second-hand market in China. The Mi 6 exceeds the second-hand price of the Mi 8. While an Mi 8 can be bought for between 500 and 600 yuan, or around 23,000 and 27,000 forints, a Mi 6 in really good condition costs more than 600 yuan, which is not significantly more expensive.
Well, why?
The author of the article doesn't go into this, but I had a few thoughts about it. The Mi 8 is a copy of the iPhone X. There's no way around it, Xiaomi copied the latest iPhone one by one at the time, and that was not a very sympathetic move for many, including me.
A Mi 6 ezzel szemben az utolsó “hagyományos” csúcs Xiaomi. 16:9-es képarány, nagy káva és kis méret jellemzi. Ez utóbbi sokak számára a mai napig keresett tulajdonság. Bár a hardver már 4 éves, akkoriban mégis csak az abszolút csúcs Snapdragon volt, így a mindennapokra tökéletes alkalmas. Nyilván nem ezzel kell a legújabb játékokat játszani.
What is the situation in the Hungarian second-hand market?
This made me wonder what the situation is here at home on the same subject. We are 6 out of 6 one copy for sale I found it for 38 thousand forints, but it comes with everything, a lot of cases, foils, batteries, etc. cheapest Mi 8, the one I found costs 36 thousand forints, so it's a bit more expensive, but the Mi 6 comes with a lot of accessories. The average price is around 40-45 thousand forints. I can't really say, because I'd need a few more Mi 6s for sale, but they're roughly similar in price. The next generation, the Mi 9 that I use, starts at around 60-70 thousand forints, so there is a relevant difference there.
