Once bought one Xiaomi phone… It’ll be the last. Died in 3 months.
Wouldn’t that be covered by the warranty?
And, just because it happens to one phone, does not mean that all phones are bad. The Samsung Note 7 exploded.. Not every Samsung phone does that.
Oh, yeah, 3 month warranty! Dealt with company, and they said tough. So, yeah, be careful with what you buy. I’ll never buy from Xiaomi ever again though, 2 days after crap warranty expired. NOPE!
