Xiaomi has published replacement-part prices for the Xiaomi 18 Fold in China, revealing that a major hardware failure could carry a bill close to the cost of a conventional flagship phone. The motherboard for the top 16GB RAM and 1TB storage model is listed at about €756, while the inner folding display costs approximately €458.
The 16GB/1TB motherboard represents nearly 40% of the comparable phone’s roughly €1,910 price. The 18 Fold itself starts at around €1,400, based on the published pricing conversions.
Other replacement parts are substantially less expensive.
- Inner folding display: about €458
- Outer display: about €96
- 6,000mAh battery: about €33
- Main camera: about €26
- Telephoto camera: about €24
- Ultrawide camera: about €7
The ceramic edition also carries a higher repair-parts cost: its silicon-nitride ceramic rear cover is priced at about €133, compared with roughly €32 for the standard model’s back cover.
For context, Samsung’s official Fold8 service pricing in markets including the United Arab Emirates lists a complete main-display replacement at about €719. Its “eco-conscious” option, which repairs the assembly and reuses functioning components, is about €483. Samsung also lists approximately €94 for a battery and €64 for a rear cover, but does not publish an equivalent motherboard price.
The figures are not a direct like-for-like repair comparison: Xiaomi’s numbers are part prices published for China, while Samsung’s are service rates listed only in select markets. Pricing and repair availability for the Xiaomi 18 Fold outside China remain to be confirmed.
