Xiaomi has announced its partnership with YouTube to give its smartphone users a free premium subscription. The Chinese company made the announcement a couple of hours ago, which will see those who purchased their recently released flagship and budget phones enjoy the benefits of the YouTube Premium service. Interestingly, the promotion period will run for one year but seem exclusive to some regions.
According to Xiaomi Global Director of Business Development, “With users consuming more and more online video content every year, we believe it is important to let users experience quality content in new ways. We’re happy to work with YouTube to allow Xiaomi customers to watch the content they love uninterrupted. We hope this will be the beginning of a long-standing relationship between us and YouTube that will ultimately benefit our users.”
YouTube Premium lets you watch your favorite videos without ad interruptions. Also, you can download these videos to watch on the go, and it supports background play. Interestingly, you will get YouTube Music Premium as part of the package. Hence, we recommend that you redeem the offer if you purchased any of the recently released phones.

How to redeem the free YouTube premium offer
Xiaomi didn’t give a detailed guideline on how to go about this on their website. However, if you have one of the eligible phones and haven’t been using YouTube premium services, you can follow the instructions here to redeem. Perhaps, you can visit YouTube.com/premium to get started.
Meanwhile, while the Xiaomi 11T series phone will get three months of free premium services, Xiaomi only negotiated two months for their budget phones. Also, the offer is likely available in regions where Xiaomi is currently operating, but you can always try.
