The catch is if something breaks, it's difficult to find one that repairs it for you or often the cost is unreasonable.
Hopefully you'll find one that fixes it for you soon.

I love this Phone. When i did buy it it was the smoothest phone ive had. After some months it got more lags and started to overheat. I guess it is becouse the Software got an Update. I hear from a lot of people that this phone has issiues whit dying out of nowhere. Mostly when you restart it. My dad runs a repair shop of cellphones ect and we had some clients where that was the case. It just died and the motherboard (part to charge batterie) broke. So that is so far the only issue you should be aware of as far as i know. Otherwise it is a great phone.

You can just flash custom rom without google and do not install FB and any of its affiliates.
*Rooting is actually very dangerous, because some shady app or tweak can sneak in, and you will have more chance of getting hacked.

Those social media apps are a real trojan ... and if you are not convinced, just decompile them to see it by yourself in AndroidManifest.xml !!!

It's really unsafe for be on FB and Instagram as zuckerburg has no respect on user privacy.
Delete them, then your device will be 100 times safer.

You should just wait for the official update as they should be some reason why it's been delayed.

You will likely have to check at local repair shops and see if any of them can help.
But make sure you check the price of the battery first online so they won't cheat.

How did you manage to take another 5000 pictures on a phone that in your own words was completely dead?
I'd stop now if I was you!

Apple saying 80% may be true.. for THEIR phones, especially considering that their phones have smaller batteries, so 75% should be when you look out for a new one.

Does anyone know where I can replace the battery of Poco F3 in the EU and how much it may cost?
The few service centers I contacted in my country take other brands, but unfortunately refuse to service Xiaomi phones. They don't explain for me why they reject Xiaomi. My guess is that they don't have Xiaomi parts available to them. But they happily service other brands!

15000 photos on your phone, I doubt it!
I've heard these false claims about motherboard failure on this phone and they always turn out to be false.
