How Old Is Your Current Device by aboyaji(m): 10:03am On Jan 02, 2019
My INFINIX Hot Note would be 4 years with me come April 2019.

The fascinating thing about this device is that I've not taken it to any phone repair shop from inception. It hasn't developed any form of fault that would require having it repaired. The screen is still clean.

But, a few weeks ago, the charging port stopped functioning as a result of a fall from a young kid I gave it to after requesting to watch movies with it. He brought it back and said "Bros, the charging port is shaking". I took it, examined it carefully and it was true. I was sad inwardly but acquiesced it.

He's just a boy, a kid. The deed has been done and I needed to repair it rather than complain.

A week later, the technician brought it back and I quickly checked the back and saw the sticker on the screw had been poked which voids the warranty if still under warranty - of course, it's no longer. I was very sad this time that the device had been unscrewed and undergone a repair for the first time in almost 4 years.

So, how long have you had yours without a repair?

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - 2014 (5 years)
Nokia N8 - 2012 (7 years)

Both devices still working fine although I've had to change battery and panel (water spill) of the Samsung. The Nokia, however, has never been unscrewed neither has any part been changed since I got it.
I just trust that brand and that's why I have ordered Nokia X6. I'd finally retire the N8 when the X6 arrives.

Awwn sorry about your phone tho.. My Infinix Hot 3 will be 3yrs old in a few months time.. Just last year, it started giving me crazy malware issues which has made me conclude never to buy any Infinix phone ever again
