Xiaomi Corporation, a global consumer electronics and smart manufacturing company, officially opened its first authorised store in Cape Town on Friday 16 December, making it the brand’s second store to be opened in South Africa in less than two months.
Located at Shop 82 on the lower level of Canal Walk Shopping Centre, the third-largest shopping centre in Africa, the store will be Capetonian’s gateway to affordable, quality smartphones and smart home products. You’re also able to bring your devices that need repairs to the store to get the process started.
The launch day festivities included discounts of up to 50% off select items and a free Mi Smart Band 5, valued at R699 (recommended retail price), with any smartphone purchased in-store (valid while stocks last and Ts&Cs apply). There were also discounts of 10% off other select products on launch day. All of those specials were for one day only – on the official launch day of 16 December.
If you weren’t able to visit the store on launch day, there’s still the chance to get holiday specials running throughout December. Xiaomi fans are encouraged to continuously visit the store for deals, as well as follow Xiaomi South Africa’s social media pages for updates on special offers, promotions, and competitions.
Known locally for its smartphones, Xiaomi has ensured that the latest devices launched in the country this year, including the Redmi Note 11 Series devices (Redmi Note 11 and Redmi Note 11 Pro), Redmi 10 Series devices (Redmi 10A, Redmi 10C and Redmi 10 2022), Xiaomi 12T Series devices (Xiaomi 12T Pro and Xiaomi 12T), and Xiaomi 12 Series devices (Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Lite), are all available in store. The Xiaomi 12T Pro is particularly noteworthy if you’re looking for a flagship Android device that costs under R20 000 with the Redmi Note 11 Pro also offering incredible specs at a ridiculously competitive price.
Offering more than just smartphones, the store offers local customers the opportunity to experience the brand’s range of AIoT products including its robot vacuum cleaners, air purifiers, security cameras, electric scooters, and even its own range of luggage.
While the entire product range isn’t available in the country, there are more than enough products available to kick-start your smart home ambitions at an affordable price.
