Ownself change cheaper.

46.25? that is already very cheap. even if u go ah beng shop i doubt it will be lower than 30-40, why not just go for the official shop?
ownself change the battery min ~20$. maybe if u already have heat gun and experience, otherwise u risk shattering ur screen / back panel and those repairs are not cheap

Very cheap compared to apple and Samsung. I'd go to Xiaomi for peace of mind.

Not sure if it's out of the box or if I somehow chip it, now there a black spot on it, also not sure if the sensor is affected in anyway

Haha, I've changed a lot of batteries for Xiaomi phones on my own but those are export ones.

Quite easy to open up the back, can use an expired credit card to keep the case open, those tools from seller not useful.

Some phones I changed 3 times still working, actually Xiaomi phones not bad.

Any of them have faster charging? like 33w, 67w or maybe one of those infamous 120w?

or just your average 10w, 15w, 18w charging? or maybe the battery "overheat" very quickly and reduce charging speed shortly after starting charging?

Miui 13 broke dark mode for all apps

That only honestly apply to budget level phone, even if you abuse the battery and it dies in about 2 years

Flagship level phone should be good for like 6 years plus performance wise, suitable to hand down to someone else, but even if you really take care of the battery, not draining until 0% and charge to 100% while in its case until it damn hot, the battery might fail in like 4 years in best case

Both the X3 pro and F3 score over 3000+ on ul.benchmark, over 20000 for PCMark for Android Storage 2.0 (don't know why the score for the F3 is so low on the website but mine runs at 24000 plus), so I expect it to be good for a long time.

Even the F1 is about twice as good compare to the current average budget phone and it's a less than 4 years old phone.

The only thing is if you can actually get decent battery after so many years, so many crappy used battery being sold as "new" that will fail within a few months or even weeks.
