Xiaomi has kicked off the Fan Festival 2024, featuring a plethora of deals on many devices, including a new model.
If we’re looking for an affordable phone, we’ve probably already considered Xiaomi; specifically, one of its sister brands like Redmi or POCO, which offer very good hardware at a surprisingly low cost. After all, Redmi is the king of mid-range.
But what if we could pay even less for these devices? That’s exactly what Xiaomi promises with the 2024 edition of the Fan Festival. This annual event is a celebration of the brand and its fans, offering them access to unique promotions that are normally not available during the rest of the year.
Originally, the Fan Festival was only held in China, where Xiaomi is more than just a brand; however, over the years, it has expanded worldwide, reaching the European market in 2018, and this year it has reached 40 countries and regions around the globe.
Therefore, if you were waiting to buy a Xiaomi product, this is the best possible opportunity. It’s a limited event that will only last until April 30, but also, we don’t expect the best deals to last long, because some are especially good.
For example, one of the top deals we’ve seen is the Redmi Note 12 for only 98.99 euros at the Xiaomi store. This is a mid-range mobile at a low-range price, plain and simple. Its set of an AMOLED screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate, 33 W fast charging, and the Snapdragon 685 processor usually costs more than 200 euros, and in the case of the Redmi Note 12, it was previously available for 229.99 euros.
That’s not the only great-priced Xiaomi product we can find. If our budget is a bit higher, we might opt for the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, which in its 8GB+128GB version can be purchased for 279.99 euros. The next step up would be the POCO F5 for 299.99 euros, a phone that comes with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage.
If you’re interested in switching to a high-end mobile, Xiaomi has a promotion with the new Xiaomi 14 that was launched just a few weeks ago. You can now get a package that includes the Xiaomi 14 and the Xiaomi Watch 2 for only 1,099 euros, which also gives you a smartwatch with Wear OS. A mid-range option is the Xiaomi 13T, priced at 499.99 euros for the 8GB+256GB version.
Lastly, in celebration of the Fan Festival, Xiaomi has launched a new mobile phone, a special edition for its customers that also comes with a special offer. This is the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G XFF Edition, where XFF stands for ‘Xiaomi Fan Festival Special Edition’. This version stands out for its ‘Mystic Silver’ finish, achieved through a process involving a silver film base with a glass cover; the final detail is an exclusive logo created with nanolithography. This model can be obtained for only 398.99 euros, provided that a 1 euro deposit is made before April 14th; otherwise, it will be available for 499.99 euros.
