15-20K Buying a new phone after 6 years

[redact7701]

I have been using my poco F1 since 2018. I replaced the battery from Xiaomi once, and right now using with Lineage OS with 76% battery health. My volume up button not working and my screen has four black spots along one single edge to edge crack.

Lately it's been heating up and freezing up for simple browsing web or social media. I love this phone, and I know I could change the screen, fix the button but I can't find a legit battery.

So I want my next phone to be an iphone. But I don't want to put so much money to buy a new one, and I am not a heavy user. I want to buy a refurbished one, probably from cashify and would replace the battery from offical stores like icare.

I have two questions for you.
1. Have you or do you know someone who bought a refurbished iphone from a third party like cashify and official service centres replaced the battery? Or do they deny to replace for some reason. If they do, there is no point.
2. Do you know any other company other than apple, who has long service support for there phones? Cause I would prefer to stick with Android. My current choice for next phone is moto edge 50 neo. But I have no idea about there battery support. If you have any advice or any other recommendations please do tell. Don't mention Xiaomi, oneplus, realme, OPPO etc cause I want to unlock bootloader and use Lineage OS if they don't have stock (or near stock) android experience.

Thanks.

Don’t buy it from cashify or any 3rd party stores. You never know what all things have been replaced aftermarket as they themselves may not have sufficient information.

You can look out for sales here, you can easily get a better deal than cashify.

Longer support for android would be Samsung then OnePlus. Pixel also claims to give longer support, but historical evidence of Google products suggests otherwise.

I have heard horror stories of Xiaomi battery. While it may not be the case for everyone, would strongly suggest to get rid of the phone asap for your safety. (Based on the symptoms you’ve mentioned)

as Typhon Said it's better to avoid Cashify for buying iPhones as Apple devices spare parts are expensive and lord knows what quality of parts they've replaced in iPhone to make it affordable to the public, I know someone who bought iPhone something Mini Series from Cashify few months back and still using but haven't replaced battery yet though.


Most of the Companies provide Battery replacements for their mobiles for upto 3 years ( Samsung have more than 3yrs I bet) if you use a phone for 3 years and replace battery before EOL by Service centre then you can prolong the usage of phone for 2 more years.

My poco's battery died on me.
My sister regularly sells and buys Iphone from cashify. She is more or less satisfied with.

It is matter of luck when it comes to battery I guess. One of my samsusug's battery died within an year and phone in 2. While another model is still going strong.
I can say the same for xiaomi/poco battery died within an year and another one is still going on.
