All i can hope that I always have importing Xiaomi and Meizu is this will dent the prices of Samsung etc. Was a matter of time.

We are proud to announce that we are the authorised retail partner for New Zealand.

I assume judging by the WHOIS on the mi-store.co.nz domain, it's going to be all PB, just a PB that only sells Mi Products...

I think the mi A2 and the Mi Mix 3 will be big hits here.

Where did you see that? The Redmi 6 has band 28, but I can't find a Redmi Note 6 version with it (Pro or otherwise). I do know that the Taiwan/Mexican variant of the Redmi Note 5 had b28 while the Global didn't, but it wasn't easy to get, so you might be seeing a similar Note 6 version I haven't found.

Thanks - so as with the previous generation they will be having a band 28 and non-band 28 version. Looks like all the standard Chinese resellers currently just have the non-band 28 version (of Note 5 or 6), but the NZ store should hopefully stock the b28 one rather than having to resort to overpriced ebay resellers.

If having a NZ store just means that New Zealand will finally be a selectable location on stock MIUI that will be something :)

Nice to see another tech store @ Sylvia Park... there's sooo many places selling home wares / clothes / shoes and other massive mark-up items. I wonder how much this will hurt Noel Leeming and JB HiFi in the mall?

Anyone know what is the opening date?

 From what I have heard, grand opening is 11/11

Mi Mix 3 looks impressive!

But I only have just got my mi mix 2 setup close to how I want it! Arrrgh.

Pretty excited about this might actually drive 3 hours to auckland just to see what they've got, hopefully they stock the Mi 8 SE their snapdragon 710 with a samsung amoled screen that goes for 385 at aliexpress that's their highest spec phone that doesn't get hit by import tax.

I have bought in several that were more expensive from HK goldway and not had tax collected.

We are proud to announce that we are the authorised retail partner for New Zealand.

 

From early next month you will be able to shop the impressive range of Mi products from their new retail store in the southern end of Auckland’s Sylvia Park Shopping Centre.

 

I'm not quite sure if I'm interpreting this correctly, but does this mean that this new "authorised Mi Store" is still PB warranty and logistics in the end?
