Hong Kong's Sumaho heaven 'Pioneer Hiroki' is SIM-free iPhone · Xiaomi · Xperia · Meizu and more

In China, not China, diverse cultures are developing regardless of the east and west of the world, and this applies to smartphones as well. Regardless of new or second - hand goods, SIM free smart phones all over the world are sold at Hong Kong 's Pilgrimage Hall,Xiaomi(Small U.S. technology),Meizu(Magical Science),OnePlusWe have made a smartphone made in China such as the smartphone.

From the Hong Kong International Airport to the "Mongkok Station" near the nearest station of the Pioneer Hiroki, you can easily see the following article.

Founder With just five years I went to the world's third largest smartphone maker Xiaomi official shop "Komonoyano" - GIGAZINE


Arrived at Mongkok Station in approximately 40 minutes by transferring from Airport Hong Kong International Airport, Metro (MTR).


The south side of the station is rich in signs and it is like Hong Kong.


Before going to Pioneer Hiroshi, it was once the center of digital equipment sales "Mongkok Electronics CenterI tried looking at it.



A small shop is crowded in a cliff building.


The price list of PC parts is the same style as Akihabara etc. The price is not so different from the price in Japan.


Wireless LAN routers not available in Japan.


A lot of USB memory and SD card.


Of course we sell PC parts as well as laptops.


Some shops sell second-hand AC adapters and outlet converters.


A shop selling printers.


Although there were only a few shops, there were shops selling smartphones.


There is also an official shop of Microsoft.


Lumia 640.


The notebook PC compatible with Windows 10 was exhibited including not only the Microsoft made surface but also the things made by other companies.


There is also an experience corner of Xbox One.


There are shops dealing only with Apple products.


SIM free iPhones etc were sold by exhibition methods like the Apple Store.


Break space.

It seems that the same thing as Japan is used.


So, as popularity of digital equipment changed from PC to smartphone, the bustle of Mongkok Denshi center seemed to be getting faded.


When walking about 5 minutes to the north from Mongkok Electronics Center, you can see the other side of Odori 's Old Street on the main street is "Pioneer Hiroba" building.



This building.


In order to cross the pedestrian cross the street towards the station and arrive at Peking Hiroshi.


The roadside store on the first floor of the building also sells a large number of smartphones.


Popular smartphones such as iPhone, Xiaomi, Galaxy are sliding.


Very rarely I could confirm Black Berry.


What is said the most popular iPhone series. Approximately half of all smartphones sold at Peking Hippo are like the iPhone series, and in Hong Kong iPhone seems to be an exceptional popularity. Of course all the iPhones sold are SIM free.


The only manufacturer in Japan, SONY was in a good fight. SHARP and Fujitsu only have second - hand goods in only a few shops. Japanese smart phones with SIM locks in Hong Kong are obviously naturally told because they are not looked for anything other than Japanese.


On the other hand Samsung and ...


South Koreans such as LG were on display next to the iPhone in large quantities. You can feel the decline of Japanese smartphone makers.


Xiaomi 's mobile battery was sold there for a while. However, Xiaomi's official store in Mongkok Station 10 minutes on footHong Kong OmniyanoThere, there, you can buy "real" Xiaomi products, so you do not have to deal with products that are difficult to judge whether it is genuine or not at the Peking Hiroshi.


There is also a shop that repairs smartphones. It was prosperous enough to wait for the order of people bringing smartphones that broke the screen.


In addition, at each shop of Peking Hiroza it is Zara that the price is different from the next shop even for the same item, so you should carefully look around and choose the item you want. Of course price negotiation is possible, so it is ant to fly away, but English does not communicate much.

So, if you check the cheap things by spinning the entire building, Xiaomi's super cheap tablet "Mi PadDiscovered. Immediately, purchase decision.


It looks like a Hong Kong model with white collar.


The price cut negotiations failed for things with the last one item. I bought it at 1580 HKD (about 25,000 yen) as shown.


I ask you to open it and check the operation.


If you purchase a smartphone or tablet overseas, it is very troublesome if there is an initial malfunction, so you should always check the energization.


Continue to smart phone. In Japan it will be overwhelmed by all the smartphones that are not on sale. Flagship killer "OnePlus One(64 GB) "is 2780 HKD (about 44,000 yen) at any store. However, the next model "OnePlus Two"The price of the same model which was cut for 50 US dollars (about 6000 yen) before the appearance of it is US $ 299 (about 36,000 yen). Apparently it seems that the latest "price cut" is not reflected in the Peking Hippo. That's why I am going through. A lot of smartphones seems to be better picked up at the Pioneer Hiroshima, but I felt it was important to preview what the original price is about the product selection.


In a certain shop Xiaomi's middle range smart phone "Mi 4iNotation of "1580 HKD (about 25,000 yen)". As the fixed price of Hong Kong is 1599 HKD (about 26,000 yen) certainly "surprisingly special price".


If you ask me to show this, "The product of 1580 HKD is a Chinese model with SIM lock, the Hong Kong version is 1750 HKD (about 28,000 yen)". As expected the 151 HKD (about 2400 yen) added price can not be tolerated, so we left the store.

As I looked around variously, the Hong Kong version of SIM-free Mi 4i is the lowest price of 1680 HKD (about 27,000 yen). That is why I stroke at 1680 HKD. By the way, Xiaomi Mi 4i is a global model with India as the main target, global version is colorful 5 colors but Hong Kong version is only two colors, white and black.


Since I got the Xiaomi smartphone I thought I wanted, while doing window shopping while wondering whether I should go home soon, Meizu's "MX 4"(16GB · new article) is 1880 HKD (about 30,000 yen). This is cheap .... Unfortunately the 16GB model is out of stock and the 32GB model of stock Ali presents 2080 HKD (about 33,000 yen). When I answered, "How about with 1980 HKD (approx. 31,700 yen)?", So if you answered "With 2000 GHD (approx. 32,000 Yen) with a dedicated glass film", price negotiations have been concluded .


However, if you try to withdraw money from an international bank account, it is impossible due to errors. Apparently it took limits on the draw of the day. "I will come to buy it tomorrow!" To keep in mind that I will go back to the hotel.

The next morning, when I visited Peking Hiroshige at 9 am local time, the building was not open yet. There is no opportunity to drop in at the Pioneer Hiroshima due to the itinerary's convenience. I left the Pioneer Hiroshima with my desire to be haired. Hong Kong's Pioneer Hiroshi was a smartphone heaven where massive gathering of smartphones around the world, both new and used.
