According to many reports made at reddit , many users complain that the smartphones their have been inexplicably blocked by Xiaomi, resulting in their devices becoming almost bricks.


Η The global Smartphone market has never been a single block and several countries outside China have some policies that differ from each other.

Xiaomi , like many other Smartphone manufacturers, have their own sales and export policies, which as mentioned above, may differ from country to country.

You may be wondering, what does this issue have to do with this article? 

Many, since according to many reports that have been made in reddit , many users complain that the smartphones their have been inexplicably blocked by Xiaomi, resulting in their devices becoming almost bricks.

So that you do not wonder what has happened and so that you do not worry unjustly, we will explain to you below what exactly is true.



The Reddit website states that Xiaomi is blocking all its smartphones that have been sold in countries such as Cuba and Syria.

According to reports also collected by XDA Developers , in countries such as Cuba and Syria Xiaomi smartphones have been blocked by the company itself, without any explanation, as the devices were software updated and worked fine.

So what could be the reason for this abrupt exclusion? Very simple. If we go to see Xiaomi Terms and Conditions posted on its website , we will learn something very interesting. The company states that its customers are prohibited from exporting products purchased in countries such as  Cuba , the  Iran The  ΣυρίαThe  North Korea, the  Sudan and Crimea.

The reasons have not been communicated and here is not the time to discuss them, but as we said in the introduction, A company's policies vary from country to country and this move of the company, is completely justified.

As you can see, if a Xiaomi seller or customer exports or imports a Xiaomi smartphone to these countries, the result will be that sooner or later those who buy them from these countries will find themselves with a brick in their hands.



A solution, as reported in XDA Developers, is to become the return the smartphone to those who sold it and possibly take advantage of the warranty. We do not know if this will work in these countries, but it is essentially the most immediate solution, perhaps the only solution to get your money back.

Fortunately, we here in most European countries do not have these problems. The only advice we can give you is to always buy smartphones Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO from the official channels or at least from distributors who guarantee minimal support and assistance after the sale, and always when buying it is good to use the PayPal.
