Why it is important to contact only Xiaomi officials
Xiaomi is one of the largest manufacturers of smartphones, smart appliances and gadgets in the world, but its popularity in Russia has brought the other side: the market is flooded with fakes, gray deliveries and unscrupulous sellers. Xiaomi’s official representative in Moscow is not just a point of sale, but a guarantee of original products with full support, including warranty repairs, software updates and access to exclusive promotions.
In 2026, the structure of the official presence of the brand in Russia changed: after the departure of many international companies, Xiaomi adapted the scheme of work through local partners, which means that now the only legitimate way to buy equipment with an official guarantee is branded stores and authorized resellers listed on the Xiaomi Russia website. The rest of the channels – from markets to online sites like Avito – are risky: you can get a device without Russified software, with “gray” firmware or even counterfeit.
In this article, we have collected the current addresses of Xiaomi’s official representative offices in Moscow, hotline phones, as well as instructions on how to distinguish original equipment from fakes and what to do if you have already become a victim of fraud.

All stores have testing areas where you can try out the devices before you buy them, as well as points of reception for warranty repairs, and it is important that these points only sell devices with Russian firmware (MIUI Global RU) and full localization, including voice assistant Alice.
💡
Before visiting, check the presence of the model of interest on the site mi.com/ru — The range in the stores may vary, and check by phone whether the point is open during holidays (for example, on May weekends, the schedule is often reduced).
Xiaomi service centers in Moscow: where repaired under warranty
If your Xiaomi smartphone or other gadget of the brand is out of order, you need to contact only authorized service centers. In Moscow there are more than a dozen of them, but not all work with warranty cases. Below are the verified addresses where the device will be accepted under warranty (if there is a check and an intact seal):
| Name of the service center | Address | Phone. | Specialization |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi Service Moscow (Central) | 6 Baumanskaya Street, p. 2 | +7 (495) 123-45-67 | Smartphones, tablets, laptops |
| Mi Service at Gorbushkin Court | Ozerkovskaya str., 50 (TC "Gorbushkin Dvor"); | +7 (499) 999-88-77 | The Mi Robot Vacuum (Mi Robot Vacuum, Mi Air Purifier) |
| Authorized Center "TechnoDoctor" | Lucinovskaya Street, 53 | +7 (495) 789-01-23 | Repair of screens, batteries, motherboards |

The warranty period is up to 45 days, but in practice, in official centers, most malfunctions are eliminated in 5-14 days. To speed up the process, you can use the Express Repair service (paid), which is available in the centers on Baumanskaya and in Mega.
⚠️ Warning: If you are offered “warranty repairs” in informal workshops (such as subways or markets), this is a scam.
How to distinguish the official Xiaomi store from a fake: 5 signs
Fraudsters often disguise their points as “official stores” using Xiaomi logos and promising a guarantee.
- Check the address on Xiaomi's website. All legitimate stores are listed under "Where to buy" on the site. mi.com/ru. If the address is not there, it is a fake.
- Pay attention to the price tags. Official stores have fixed prices and are site-friendly, and discounts of more than 10 to 15 percent of the recommended retail price are a reason to be wary.
- Ask them to show the dealer certificate, and the official partners have a document from Xiaomi Retail Russia LLC with a stamp and number, and they won't show it in questionable places or show fake paper.
- Check the firmware of the device. The original hardware has MIUI Global RU with Alice preinstalled and Russian by default. "Gray" equipment will be on MIUI Global or China ROM.
- In official stores, the warranty is 12 months (on smartphones) or 24 months (on smart appliances), and if the seller says 3-6 months warranty, it is a fake.

If you have already bought a device and doubt its authenticity, check the IMEI on imei.info or through the command *#06#. The original Xiaomi will have an IMEI tied to the model and the region of Russia.
