O, 26 Jan 2021How long will last this phone? (Will it last >2 years?) ... moreYes & No.
Nowadays, quality of budget phones has improved. It's normal for phones to last 1.5+ years without issues. And possibly 2-3 years if you take care of them.
For example, use phone case, tempered glass, avoid water damage/falls, don't bend or press your phone.
The only thing to worry about is display/touch screen issues. Sometimes phones develop touch issue where they don't register your touch *sometimes*, ghost touch issue, screen spot issue, and rarely a completely black/dead display.
Other issues aren't serious. Mostly short term bugs that are fixed in updates, or less-serious issues like camera dust issue that are easily & cheaply fixed.
You can also flash custom ROMs to extend your phone's battery and performance, if you're looking to extend its life.
To ensure a phone is durable, you should read reviews to check if many people have the same issue & watch durability tests on YouTube (Gupta Information System channel). Pay attention to:
- Display
- Touch
- Bending test
- Water test
- Charging port
Last, make sure it's powerful enough to meet your performance expectations. Because games tend to become heavier with years, and so does MIUI (unless you flash custom ROM or never update software of your phone).
- RAM should always be 4GB or more. Unless you've to choose between a very weak chipset having more RAM VS a good chipset with less RAM.
- Chipset is most important for performance.
Snapdragon 662 of this phone is perfect for normal use atm, and meets the *minimum* requirement for heavy gaming.
You'll need GFX tool to get 40+FPS in PUBG on low graphics. 40FPS is smooth enough to play good and reach Ace (i did) and Conqueror too.
But if you're a gamer, remember that it'll be outdated in 1-1.5 years. I'm putting it very clearly. You'll find many phones in same or lower price having better chipsets in that time, and the games may also become heavier.
Here's how you can choose chipset (worse to best):
- Snapdragon 460
- Helio P60, Kirin 710, Snapdragon 660
- Snapdragon 662, Snapdragon 665
- Helio G70, Helio G80 (I recommend these chipsets for smooth gaming if you've low budget).
*Infinix Hot 10 with 6GB RAM is a excellent choice in my country. Tecno Pova & Realme 6i are other good options.*
- Snapdragon 710, Snapdragon 712 (I recommend these chipsets for good gaming experience. It's worth buying them even if you've to buy in used condition. But ensure that they aren't repaired or damaged).
*Realme 5 Pro & Realme 3 Pro are good choices on my country*
- Helio G90T, Snapdragon 720G, Snapdragon 730G, Snapdragon 732G, Dimensity 700 Series
- Kirin 810, Snapdragon 765G, Dimensity 800+ series
*Huawei Nova 7i is sometimes sold at very low price by people who can't cope with lack of Google Play Services. It's a very good phone if you're willing to learn to use it!*
- Snapdragon 800 series are in a completely different league than 700 series. They've a huge performance advantage.

O, 26 Jan 2021How long will last this phone? (Will it last >2 years?) ... moreIt will definitely last 2 years. If you want to see some battery tests search for Poco M3 battery tests because it's basically same smartphone with minor differences. "phone uses 10% of its battery while watching 1 hour video on Youtube(that's very much if it has 6000mAh)" that's because IPS display and Snapdragon 662 is 11 nm SoC which does not result in the best energy efficiency.

How long will last this phone? (Will it last >2 years?)
Also has anyone done a battery test? Is there any endurance rating given on this phone?
I want to buy this phone but found a video that shows that this phone uses 10% of its battery while watching 1 hour video on Youtube(that's very much if it has 6000mAh). Should've used like 5-6%.

Why is it slow as heck? It takes a couple of seconds to search a contact in phonebook or sms app. Touch is also slow. I have to tap twice or push button twice then it wakes up or respond. I wonder how is it quadcore and 4gb ram. It's lagging in basic functions like sms and calls.
