Sell or trade in your Xiaomi 12 in Vienna
At 6.28 inches the Xiaomi 12 still fits comfortably in one hand, and yet it charges wirelessly and has stereo speakers. Small Android phones with this kind of kit are rare, so second-hand they quickly find a new owner. We pay you up to 120 EUR for your 12.
What is a used Xiaomi 12 worth today?
The buyback price depends on condition and storage, and here are the levels for the base storage.
| Flawless, complete | 120 EUR |
| Few signs of use | 95 EUR |
| Clear scratches | 65 EUR |
| Faulty display, unrepaired | 45 EUR |
A Xiaomi 12 without visible marks brings 120 EUR, with light scratches 95 EUR and with clear wear 65 EUR. If the display is broken but the phone has never been opened, we pay 45 EUR. The larger storage level brings 20 EUR more. On the 12, value is lost mainly through the slightly curved glass back, because without a case it slides when you put it down and then cracks at the corners.
Compact, warm, wireless: what we check
The 12 gets noticeably warm under load. During the inspection we therefore check whether it runs stably and whether the display has bright spots from heat. We also test the main camera, wired and wireless charging, both speakers and the in-display fingerprint sensor.
With broken glass, a weak battery or a camera that no longer focuses, we still buy the 12. With a faulty display it is 45 EUR, provided the phone has never been open.
Send it in at no cost, even from the countryside
Whether Vienna's Floridsdorf district or a small village in the Waldviertel: the insured shipping label is free and arrives by email once you agree. The post brings your Xiaomi 12 to our workshop, we inspect it and send you the final amount. Around 48 hours after you accept, we pay by PayPal or into your bank account.
Preparing the Xiaomi 12 for sale
Back up your photos, contacts and chats. Then open Settings, tap your Xiaomi account at the top and sign out so that “Find device” is no longer active. After that, remove the Google account under Accounts. Only now do you reset the 12 to factory settings and take out the SIM card.
Selling a Xiaomi 12: what customers want to know
What is the most a Xiaomi 12 is worth to you?
120 EUR for a phone without marks with base storage, complete. With more storage it is 140 EUR. The amount becomes binding after our inspection.
What is the Xiaomi 12 trade-in value after three or four years of use?
By then it usually has light to clear marks and brings 95 EUR or 65 EUR. What decides is how visible scratches and dents are, not the age. A photo in the calculator helps us rate it.
Which storage bonus applies to the Xiaomi 12?
The larger storage level brings 20 EUR more than the base storage. Which one you have is shown in Settings under “About phone”.
Can I still sell a broken Xiaomi 12 with a faulty display?
Yes, for 45 EUR if it has never been opened. Stripes in the picture or a touchscreen that only partly responds are no obstacle either. Enter the damage precisely in the calculator.
The back of my Xiaomi 12 has cracked at the corner, what now?
We still buy it. You enter the crack under the back in the calculator, and the deduction only applies to that. The front and back are rated separately.
My Xiaomi 12 gets very warm, does that affect the price?
Warmth under load is normal on the 12 and no reason for a deduction. If it switches off or restarts because of heat, enter that in the notes field and we rate it as a fault.
How much does the battery take off the Xiaomi 12 price?
If battery health is below 80 percent there is a noticeable deduction, between 80 and 85 a small one. After several years a deduction is normal and no reason to leave the phone lying around.
Do I have to pay postage for my Xiaomi 12 from Lower Austria?
No, the shipping label is free and insured. You only hand the parcel in at the post office.
And if the checked offer for the Xiaomi 12 does not suit me?
Then you decline and get your phone back for 10 EUR return shipping. Until you agree, you are not bound to anything.
How do I wipe my Xiaomi 12 completely?
Sign out of the accounts, then reset to factory settings through Settings. That deletes all data. To be safe, we also reset every phone we buy once more.
When do I get the money for my Xiaomi 12?
Around 48 hours after you agree to the checked price, by PayPal or bank transfer. There is no cash.
Does the charger have to come with the Xiaomi 12?
No. The original box and original cable bring a small bonus, and a missing charger costs nothing extra. We value the phone first and foremost.
What does refurbed pay for a Xiaomi 12 with a broken display?
refurbed does not accept phones with a cracked display. With us it brings 45 EUR, provided the phone has never been opened, and the money comes by PayPal or bank transfer.
How does the buyback differ between the Xiaomi 12 and the 12X?
On the outside they are almost identical, but the 12 charges wirelessly and is faster. That is why we pay up to 120 EUR for the 12 and up to 100 EUR for the Xiaomi 12X, so the 12 has the higher resale value.
Can I sell a Xiaomi 12 that was financed in my name?
Yes, if it belongs to you. By shipping it you confirm that the phone is your property and not leased or pledged as security. If an instalment plan is still running, check with your provider whether a retention of title applies.
