Xiaomi Malaysia and Xiaomi Pakistan introduced their new smart phone series in Pakistan by launching Mi 13T and Mi13T Pro, right now Pakistan has seen Mi 13T variant of 12/256 GB in three colors.
Xiaomi Malaysia launched both variants with different specifications with reasonable prices while comparing it to Pakistani market and value for both currencies, it has been observed that Xiaomi has not given a market with valued price tag while on other side Malaysia offered pre launch sale of RM 2000 whoch equals to Pakistan Rs. 125,000 and plus Xiaomi Malaysia offered free gift cards of 120$ to buy any of free stuff from their stores. Mistore.pk put price tag of Rs. 169,999 for Mi 13T 12/256GB, where Rs. 45,000 of difference cannot be avoided.
Xiaomi and other brands with less interest with Pakistani business market has exposed the smartphone companies double standards towards different customers of different countries, where population of 250 million cannot be easily negligible with even economic uncertainty.
Xiaomi, Samsung, Oppo and other brands mis-used the Pakistani market for only target to take profits while giving back no value while, Malaysian and Indian market enjoys the buying and selling and value for their products with so much of discounts on hands.
We hope that Xiaomi will look into it and offer Pakistani attractive market for Mi brand with equal opportunity to avail discounts and equal margin price tags compared to other markets before launching and maintaining the stock of all variants up to date.
