Why is the Xiaomi Band 7 more expensive?

Xiaomi has traditionally been the brand that many of us have associated with technological products that reach the market with an unbeatable price-quality ratio : very capable devices, with a careful design and that, however, remained light years in cost range. of the premium competition that we have always considered to be Apple, Samsung, etc. Now, with the launch of the Xiaomi Band 7, that myth seems to be falling. What happened?

Why is the Xiaomi Band 7 more expensive

One more step, but more expensive

The Chinese have made official the launch of their best activity bracelet to date, the Xiaomi Band 7 and they have left us with bad news by discovering that its cost will be 59.99 euros. Now, we know that from the beginning we had a promotion that has left us at 49.99 for 48 hours, from its sale on June 22, but if you did not take advantage of it, the next thing you can do is to drop those almost 60 euros to have it.

Xiaomi Band 7.

Or at least it seems that way to us, accustomed to what the Chinese have been enjoying in recent years with each new generation of Mi Band that hit the market. Remember that the first generation barely had a price of 20 euros, which was also maintained with the Xiaomi Mi Band 2, but from there, the thing was progressively rising with the Mi Band 3, 4, 5 and 6: 29, 95, 34.95, 34.95 and 44.99 euros, respectively.

If we look at the price of 59.99 euros of this Xiaomi Band 7, we actually realize that this ascending line of recent years continues and, if we add to that the current scenario of runaway inflation , we can find some explanation to those 15 euros of more that we are going to find in the stores. Although, of course, the Asian brand is no longer a reference as an affordable product for all budgets.

So with this panorama, it is obvious that the answer arises by itself: is it worth acquiring this new model if we have the previous one?
