I had the issue of one side battery draining faster with Buds 4 Active I ordered online and I brought them to a service center and got a new set after the staff proven it's a manufacturing defect.
And regarding your Note 10 Pro, I am sure Samsung phones suffered more from motherboard issues just from the sheer volume of Samsung phones sold compared to Redmi. Samsung phones with Exynos 9611 are notorious for motherboard issues and it happened to my mother in law's A51. Even the newer A33 and A53 are not immune to the issue.

Lo and behold, xiaomi gave the 3 OS updates and the 11T series are still functioning well after each update.

Anonymous, 17 Feb 2025Who cares, these phones are hot garbage anyway. Unfortunate... morePoco software ain't perfect but nothing comes close to them in price to performance ratio.
Dimensity 8400U of X7 Pro is going up against against Galaxy A55 at $100+ or more in my region. Closest equivalent is the Galaxy A25. 😂 Now that doesn't include used Poco X6 Pro 2024 which gets even crazier since it was also leaked to get 4 OS upgrades till Android 18.
The other alternatives are SD7 G2/G3 devices which costs either more or less.
Or add a bit more for used S23 FE except those might also incur additional costs due to possibility or actual need for repairs (battery, screen replacements etc).
And let's not talk about overpriced used iphones at 84% BH which is an easy $100 added cost.

So companies can update their budget phones, they just don’t feel like it because they want more money

The decision to provide just the 4G variant with 50% more security update support is bizarre and annoying to me as a I just bought the Note 14 5G.
Xiaomi has* a "Product Software Support Information" official page at "trust-mi-com/misrc/updates/detail?tab=phone" (replace - with .) where if you search for "note 14" you get results saying the 4G will have 6 years of security update support but Pro, Pro 5G, and Pro+ 5G models will have just 4 years. The Note 14 5G is not mentioned there yet.
Here's a summary of what the page returns right now when searching for "note 14":
|Name |Launch date |Security Update EOL Date
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Note 14 Pro 5G |2025-01-10 |2029-01-30
|Note 14 |2025-01-10 |2031-03-01
|Note 14 Pro+ 5G |2025-01-15 |2029-01-01
|Note 14 Pro |2025-01-15 |2029-01-15
* Congratulations Xiaomi for being upfront and public about the length of support even though you have much to improve (your tech specs are always incomplete; what charging protocols are supported by the Note 14 5G? Crickets! your English tech specs are detailed in FAQs and the search for FAQs works very very bad; to top it off, your English tech specs are badly machine translated from Chinese... ugh). Lenovo also publicly provides this kind of support info upfront, a bit better I would say, but few other manufacturers do, especially when it comes to lower end models which they love to be ambiguous about. You have to rely on 2nd hand info, like the one found in this article, but this kind of info is non-committal, unlike the one provided through official pages.

That's actually really nice. Price did go up on Xiaomi, but 4 major OS updates and 6 years of security updates, that's great.

Cheapest samsung with 8GB ram and 256GB disk space is like 150-200 euros.
Cheapest same specced xiaomi is like 100 eur for example 14C or Poco C75.

PanRT, 17 Feb 2025Now, Xiaomi 15 Ultra need more OS update 6 year..Bro a 1500 eur phone no matter the brand needs 6 years of warranty at first place and then 6 years of updates.
For what you need 4-6, 10 even 1000 years of updates if your phone can die after a year of use when your warranty goes off (no matter the brand samsung, oppo, vivo, xiaomi ,realme, apple etc all phones can unforturtunate have bad luck and dies and the repair will cost price equal to new phone all people rather will buy new phone with new warranty and latest specs and OS than fix old device)

redmi usually sells more of the 4G variant than the 5G one. some 3rd world countries where they are selling still has limited 5g connection, thats why theyre supporting the 4G variant

PanRT, 17 Feb 20253 year OS :DLike who cares you have only one year of warranty no matter the phone or brand EU citizens two years.
If your warranty goes off and your phone breaks 99% of people rather spend money on new phone than fix old one for price f new device.

You had your problems with your phone nooone else had same issues many people are particular happy.
In world lives almost 10 billions people anyone of them had some issues with some brands and noone will says its bad just because you are one of 10 billions having issues with same brand.
If other 10 billions tells you that phone is bad dont buy it will you have no phone at all or???

Since no phone no matter the cost gets years of warranty equal to years of updates 2 years is more than enough.
Anyway the moment your warranty goes off and your device no matter the brand or type gets bronken anyione rather buy new phone than fix old phonefor 50-100% of price of new device.
