These include the following:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"_listElement_wioo3_107\">\n<li class=\"_listItem_wioo3_112\">Xiaomi 17T Pro<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_wioo3_112\">POCO X8 Pro Max<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_wioo3_112\">POCO X8 Pro<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_wioo3_112\">Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_wioo3_112\">Redmi Pad 2 Pro<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_wioo3_112\">Redmi Pad 2.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The steepest increase is <b>\u00a520,000 (~S$159)<\/b>, which applies to both configurations of the Xiaomi 17T Pro, POCO X8 Pro Max and POCO X8 Pro.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro will see more modest increases of <b>\u00a510,000 (~S$80)<\/b> for the 12GB\/512GB model and <b>\u00a55,000 (~S$40)<\/b> for the 8GB\/128GB configuration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Meanwhile, the Redmi Pad 2 Pro (6GB\/128GB) and Redmi Pad 2 (4GB\/128GB) will receive the smallest price hikes, at <b>\u00a52,000 (~S$16)<\/b> and <b>\u00a53,000 (~S$24)<\/b>, respectively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Like Apple and Google, Xiaomi said it had absorbed rising component costs for as long as possible, but continuing to do so was no longer sustainable. The global memory chip shortage has sent memory prices soaring, putting pressure on manufacturers across the consumer electronics industry. And memory isn\u2019t the only component becoming more expensive, with rising semiconductor, manufacturing, and logistics costs adding to the squeeze.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">With the memory supply crunch expected to persist until 2030, manufacturers may continue adjusting prices as existing inventory is depleted and more expensive components make their way into new products.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">For now, Xiaomi\u2019s latest price adjustment is limited to the affected models and the Japanese market. But as component costs continue to climb, consumers in other markets may want to brace themselves for similar announcements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Source: @XiaomiJapan via Android Authority<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/mobile\/xiaomi-announces-price-hike-increase-phones-tablets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Xiaomi is the latest major Android device maker to raise prices, adding to a growing list of tech companies passing higher component costs on to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":80182,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[4063,4113,6064,4369,1964,223],"class_list":["post-80181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-component","tag-costs","tag-due","tag-prices","tag-raises","tag-xiaomi","wpcat-32-id"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=80181"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80181\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/80182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=80181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=80181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=80181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
