Sell or trade in your Xiaomi Mi 8 SE in Vienna
At 5.88 inches the Mi 8 SE is one of the smallest Xiaomi phones ever, released in 2018 as the handy sibling of the Mi 8. People looking for a compact phone for their jacket pocket still reach for devices like this today. We pay up to 30 EUR for your Mi 8 SE.
Used Mi 8 SE: our buyback price
The levels apply to both storage sizes, 64 GB and 128 GB. Which level fits, you answer in the calculator above.
| As new | 30 EUR |
| Light use | 22 EUR |
| Visibly used | 15 EUR |
| Display faulty, untouched | 10 EUR |
A Xiaomi Mi 8 SE without marks brings 30 EUR, with light marks 22 EUR and with clear wear 15 EUR. If it has display damage but has never been opened, we pay 10 EUR. For 128 GB we pay the same as for 64 GB. On the Mi 8 SE the price depends mainly on whether the small phone is still fit for everyday use: the 3,120 mAh battery was already tight when new and after eight years is often the reason for the lower level.
Compact and eight years old: our inspection
On the Mi 8 SE we test the small AMOLED display, the fingerprint sensor on the back, both cameras, the speaker and the charging port. We also check whether the phone runs without restarts and connects to the mobile network.
Broken glass, a tired battery or a sensor that no longer responds do not rule out the buyback. With a broken display it is 10 EUR if the Mi 8 SE has never been opened by a third party.
Postage-free to Vienna
Even for a small, older phone you pay no shipping. Once you agree, an insured label arrives by email, and you hand in the Mi 8 SE at the post office. We inspect it, tell you the final price and pay around 48 hours after you accept, by PayPal or bank transfer.
Freeing up the Mi 8 SE: sign out of the account
Many Mi 8 SE phones are imports with Chinese software, where the Mi account is the main lock. Sign out in Settings so that “Find device” is off, and remove any Google account. Then back up your data and reset to factory settings.
