Sell or trade in your Xiaomi Mi 8 in Vienna
The Mi 8 is one of the oldest Xiaomi models we buy: released in 2018, with a wide notch, a dual camera and a fingerprint sensor on the back. It stopped getting updates long ago, but it is still used as a simple phone for calls and messages. We pay you up to 35 EUR for it.
Selling a Xiaomi Mi 8: what it still brings
The amounts apply to 64 GB and 128 GB. Which buyback price applies to your Mi 8, the calculator shows.
| Like new | 35 EUR |
| Light marks | 25 EUR |
| Visibly used | 20 EUR |
| Glass breakage, unopened | 10 EUR |
For a Xiaomi Mi 8 in very good condition we pay 35 EUR, with light marks 25 EUR and with clear wear 20 EUR. A never-opened phone with a faulty display still brings 10 EUR, and 256 GB adds 10 EUR. For an eight-year-old Mi 8, what matters most is whether it still runs reliably at all: a phone that starts, charges and gets through the day of calls lands in one of the upper levels.
Eight years of Mi 8: an honest look
We check whether the Mi 8 starts reliably, whether the AMOLED still shines evenly and whether the fingerprint sensor on the back responds. We also test both main cameras, the speaker, the charging port and the mobile connection. We look at the glass back for cracks, because after so many years it is often no longer flawless.
We also buy a Mi 8 with broken glass or a weak battery. With a faulty display it is 10 EUR, provided the phone has never been opened by a third party.
Send it in at no cost
You pay nothing for shipping, even for a phone from 2018. Once you agree, you get an insured label by email and hand in the Mi 8 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.
Old MIUI, same steps
On the Mi 8 too, you need to sign out of the Mi account before the reset so that “Find device” is off, and remove the Google account. Back up photos and contacts first, on a phone this old ideally to your computer. Then reset it to factory settings.
Questions about the Xiaomi Mi 8
Is a Xiaomi Mi 8 still worth anything at all?
Yes, with us up to 35 EUR with 64 GB or 128 GB if it is in very good condition and complete. With light marks it is 25 EUR, with clear ones 20 EUR.
What is the Xiaomi Mi 8 trade-in value with a crack in the back?
Enter the crack under the back in the calculator, and the deduction only applies to that. If the display itself is broken, it is 10 EUR, provided the phone has never been opened.
Does storage still make a difference on the Xiaomi Mi 8?
Only with 256 GB: that version brings 10 EUR more, while 64 GB and 128 GB get the same. Which storage you have is shown under “About phone”.
Do you buy a broken Xiaomi Mi 8 with a faulty display?
Yes, for 10 EUR, as long as it has never been opened. We accept it even with a black picture if it otherwise still responds.
The fingerprint sensor on the back of the Xiaomi Mi 8 does not work, what now?
Enter it as faulty in the calculator, and there is a deduction. Unlocking by PIN still works, so the buyback is possible.
How much does an old battery take off the Xiaomi Mi 8?
After eight years it is almost always below 80 percent, which brings a deduction. We still buy the Mi 8.
Does sending my Xiaomi Mi 8 from Styria cost anything?
No, the insured label is free. You get it by email.
What does it cost if I want my Xiaomi Mi 8 back after the inspection?
10 EUR for return shipping. For a phone of this value it is especially worth stating the condition precisely beforehand.
Does the Xiaomi Mi 8 still get updates, and does that matter for the buyback?
No, there have been no updates for years, and for our buyback that is no reason to refuse. What matters is that the phone works and is unlocked.
How do you pay out for a Xiaomi Mi 8?
By PayPal or bank transfer, around 48 hours after you agree. There is no cash.
Does the original box still add anything for the Xiaomi Mi 8?
Yes, together with the original cable a small bonus. Without them we buy the Mi 8 just the same.
Does anyone still accept a Xiaomi Mi 8?
Many big buyers no longer list phones from 2018. We still buy the Mi 8, with its own price levels and payout by PayPal or bank transfer.
How much lower is the Xiaomi Mi 8 resale value than a Mi 9?
10 EUR in top condition: 35 EUR compared with 45 EUR for the Xiaomi Mi 9. The Mi 9 is a year younger and has the better camera.
What happens to a Xiaomi Mi 8 that you buy?
After a reset and inspection it goes to a new owner as an affordable second phone. That keeps it in use instead of ending up as e-waste.
Can I sell a broken Xiaomi Mi 8 that only runs while plugged in?
Yes, as a faulty phone. Describe that in the notes field. We inspect it and make you an offer, provided it has never been opened by a third party.
