Cheapest place for buying cheap cellphones?

My cellphone is developing problems, and sometimes it seems that I can fix them (God bless “Contact cleaner” sprays!), but then problems come back or too much spray messes up the screen…

So I’m considering the Xiami 5A, which is listen on ruten at 3,600 NT (16 GB, or 32 GB for extra 850NT). I think those are more or less the prices I saw in the new building in GuanHua.

These prices are, with the current exchange rate, more than the prices you see online, and it seems that generally speaking in this device is more expensive in TW than in other countries.

I would still buy it in TW if I could find it for a lower price… any ideas?

Buy direct from Xiaomi online or at one of their stores?

Don’t know if there in an official 5A but the Hong/RedMi5 32Gb is NT$3,999 https://www.mi.com/tw/redmi-5/

Thanks, that makes sense. I wasn’t aware of that, even if I looked for their official website.
