These prices hiked due to the coronavirus outbreak in China. We also reported previously that because of the outbreak, iPhone 9 and iPhone SE2 launch could be delayed.

Not only the products are coming late but also the virus is impacting the MWC which is happening in Barcelona. Many companies including top giants of the industry including Amazon, Ericsson, Nvidia, LG, and Sony pull out of MWC due to virus Risk

Why Price Hikes?

According to Xiaomi, The extended shutdown in China impacted the companies supply chain. There is also a risk of impact on the overall quantum of component supply.

However, Xiaomi also mentioned that it is also working to explore alternative supply channels for components and raw materials. The immediate impact of this is a result of the price hike of these components.

Therefore, the phone maker has decided to increase the price of the device for the short term. However, for now, there is no information about when the price will come down to normal. The price increment is visible on Mi.com and Amazon.
