Mi Protect Inside MIUI Security App

For those who don’t know, Mi Protect is Xiaomi’s own device protection scheme which it offers with its smartphone during the time of purchase. However, some consumers decide not to spend extra bucks on a device protection scheme only to regret it later. To stop that from happening and to provide an extended opportunity for the new smartphone buyers to get Mi Protect, Xiaomi will offer the facility to buy Mi Protect for their phones inside the MIUI Security app itself. However, new smartphone buyers will have to purchase a Mi Protect plan within 15 days of their date of smartphone purchase using this method. This scheme will cover repair costs in case your phone suffers accidental/liquid damage.

To buy Mi Protect right from your Xiaomi smartphone, you can head over to the Security app on your Mi device and open the hardware test menu. Here on, click on Mi Protect. Now you will need to follow the on-screen instructions, and then you will need to make the payment towards the end. This new service by Xiaomi, Mi Protect powered by OneAssist will now be turned on for your device.
