Interesting fact: according to the analysis of reviews 4PDA And Mi Community, 65 percent of the time, users get a response faster if they write in English, even in Russian-language channels, because some of the requests are redirected to a global support center in China.

2. Step-by-step instructions: how to write on the Xiaomi website

The most “official” way is to fill out the feedback form on the site. mi.com/ru/support/contact. Let's look at the process by step:
