Had this phone since mid-2020, and it did me well until early 2025. Call of Duty Mobile ran on high graphics, though it got a bit hot—nothing unbearable, just a little uncomfortable. Roblox was solid too, with graphics level 5 or 7 being the sweet spot for most games.
The camera, though? Absolute garbage. There’s this faint white smudge on the lens that won’t go away no matter how much I clean it. Zooming in or taking close-up shots everything turns pixelated . Battery life is alright, I guess. Lasts about 6 and a half hours normally, but for gaming, it depends—Call of Duty and Roblox give me around 3 hours on a full charge.
Biggest issue? The charging board. The original one broke, got it replaced, and then that one broke too after 8 months. Now complaining on GSM, but I know this phone is out of production, so not much I can do. Still, had some good memories with it :)

But ya, will keep in mind your suggestion. Also, maxbhi can be a good source for parts in India.

Also xiaomi typically only keep their stuff on official store for around 1 year or 2 release cycles

Jhercel, 17 Dec 2024what do you expect? this model has already reached it'... moreI expect it to be 5 years from the date of last sale made to customer, which is around 2022 end.
Do we realize that with a 2 year expiry of service parts, some owners never even got to change their battery even once?
Every non-flagship Xiaomi is an e-waste in making, I'd say. (Flagships? no idea.)

This is the bad thing about Mi- they're e-waste generators.

I still have this phone as of October 2019. I've been using the Pixel Experience ROM with GCAM for 2 years and it's still a beast. I think I've done ~1000 charging cycles and the battery is still in good condition. But I'm thinking of changing to something more modern (oled, higher display refresh rate, 5G, wireless charging, 4K60 recording) I have two options - a used Pixel 8 Pro or Xiaomi 13t Pro (but I've heard the hyper os is not very well optimized). Which phone should I buy?

Although I have already upgraded to Redmi Turbo 3, I would say redmi note 8 pro is still the best phone I have ever purchased.
High performance midrange phone back in 2020/2021. And still performs well today. Never let me down for 4 1/2 years of usage. Totally worth every cent. Still a reliable back up phone.

Well if you don't live under a rock you probably haven't posted a comment
