So the lifespan of a camera is orders of magnitude higher than any/all camera phones.

    They're not everyone's cup of tea; their specs suck, but hey, it saves the paranoia of sudden bulging or dead batteries since you can easily pop open their back covers and replace the battery yourself. Moreover, they're much easier to repair, especially the Fairphones.

You might end up having to pay more for repairs/battery replacements, but you'll often get better repairs than those questionable and untrustworthy offline shops.

      If you're still paranoid about phones dying in just 2-3 years, you might want to go for cheaper, lower-end phones so you can save money because you'll be replacing phones every so often.

          Cousin's Galaxy S5 from 2014? Still turns on, and no battery bulge at all, although the battery won't even last 1 hour without needing to be charged again. Meanwhile, his S20 FE from 2021 got a bulging battery after just 1 year.

          Outside of phones, I have a Nintendo DS Lite that still works 14 years later, but I've also got a wireless Xbox controller whose battery died after just less than 8 months.

          In conclusion, no one can really tell how long these electronics will last. They are man-made products after all, so they are destined to fail at some point, though some will last longer than others. If a piece of electronic fails quickly not because of poor treatment, it's likely due to poor manufacturing quality and bad luck.

              There's no Xiaomi service center in my country (EU), but an offline phone shop reluctantly agreed to replace the battery in my F3 for €100. It wasn't worth it, so I simply threw out my beloved phone.

I live in Indonesia, where it's usually quite hot here.

                  I'm not a gamer and would NEVER play games on a phone anyway, because that will wear off the panel.

                  The battery in my Poco F3 bulged half a year ago.

                    It's something like that in general, according to my experience too.

                      I have never seen phone battery lasting that long.
                      You must be either-
                      -rarely using the phone
                      -living in cold place
                      All the phones I've ever owned from last decade (about 4 models including with 1 iphone) got battery bulging issue within 2 - 3 years.
                      Note: Weather here is hot.

                      Regardless of country, it is still common to hear that battery wears out within a few years, so I think your case is just special.

                        As we all know camera phones have come a long way and experts believe we have come to a point in time that there is a total lack of innovation and upgrades have become incremental that soon all companies may stop releasing phones every year.

                            JimmyTheGreatest, 27 Nov 2024If you use your phone scarcely, it may last more than 4 years.I use both phones extensively everyday, always charging them to 100% every night, and they still work even after 6 years with absolutely no battery bulge. They've never been serviced at all.

                            Heck, my uncle's ancient iPhone 6s Plus still works even after 9 years on its original battery.

                            Where exactly do you get the nonsensical conspiracy that phones are intentionally designed to implode after just 2-3 years? You probably play graphically intensive games 24/7 while plugged in, so your phones overheat often causing the batteries to degrade quickly and eventually bulge.

                                  I've owned several phones and verify your statement is correct.
                                  What dies first is battery even these manufactures claim that battery technology improved.

                                    They seem to be trying to make the cameras look big.
                                    I don't like camera bumps.

No matter how much you spend on a camera phone, it will die after 2 - 3 years, irrespective of how careful you're with it. Phones were intentionally designed to implode after some period. Lengthy software updates won't help when the battery bulge.
