It doesn't. Realme are employing xiaomi's tactics no IP rating on their devices
Then I can trust their device a bit, because d oppo a9 2020 I used fell into water and I picked it without proper drying and nothing was affected

after the seller gave me that response I rejected it and added the video evidence,will he see it? Was I supposed to accept then open dispute again with the video evidence?

True for their early last year's product. Viewing a review on most of their late last year phones. The UI is quite applaudable.

Umidigi F2 is relatively new, so until we get first hand reviews i cannot say, but based on the success of the F1 and F1 Play, the processor is a beast and very fluid while gaming, battery life is also fantastic the only drawback on umidigi devices has always been the camera and OS support but the F1 series had good reviews, as for the RN8 i don't need to overflog the matter, great device in all ramifications and u're sure of constant support for the next 2-3yrs, you could be lucky u might even get Android 11, but be sure that u're stuck on android 10 (Out of the box) on the F2.

Graçias.

As per the video, just get another phone and recorded the screen issue you're experiencing; not forgetting the IMEI number and the screen test he requested for. Just follow his instructions.

I have used 2 Xiaomi phones (Redmi 4 prime and RN5AI). The first is already 3 years old while the second is almost 2 years. Both are still working perfectly without any problem. You can ask veterans on this thread about their experiences and they will tell you how durable the brand is. If you use your phone well you won't have any problem.

Good afternoon!

Update:
I asked for a recall as advised here. Today, I got a message that I should come pick the phone. That it has arrived from Lagos.

I am there now. But funny enough, a phone I was told to buy screen for 22K is now displaying against the blank display it had when I dropped it at the care center.

I just put it on and shockingly, the touch isn't working. What kind of problem is this?

cardiorap:
Happy new year people!

My Xiaomi experience hasn't really been friendly. I joined the MI family in high spirits and hopes, following testimonies from users but I'm already feeling bad.

I bought the MI A3 4GB/64GB variant on 2nd December, 2019. 18 days later (20th December, 2019), I woke up to see my device not displaying any longer. No crack, no scratch, no fall; nothing. My 5am alarm that wakes me up only vibrated, I tried restarting the phone, it started booting with "Android One" displaying and next was a blank screen. It never displayed again.

I took it to their care center same day. I have just been called from the Lagos Office of the Care Center this morning, that I'd need a change of screen. That I should pay 22K for that.

I feel very bad that:
1. I didn't mishandle the device. In fact, I pampered it like it was a newborn baby. Yet, it still developed such fault.

2. The warranty terms doesn't cover such, especially that it's not coming from my end.

3. That after keeping my device for 2 weeks and 3 days, I've just been called to be informed of the development. When I was expecting to get my device any moment from now.

Sincerely, I feel so bitter right now. I never anticipated or expected this kind of experience.
