Redmi 8 Sudden Shut Down: Unable To Power On by Dozzyalive(op): 8:41am On Feb 16, 2022
Good morning buddies.
I need urgent assistance concerning my Redmi 8 sudden shut down and inability to come up. The spec is 4GB, 64GB.
I bought the phone December 2019 and l must confess that it served its purpose till December 2021.
On three occasions in the month of December 2021, it switched off on its own which I usually bring on by pressing power button and volume down key together for some seconds.
Fast forward to 10th February 2022, I just woke up to find it switched off, I tried to power it by the above method but it was unresponsive. Later I took it to phone technician, after some couple of minutes, the phone came on and worked till yesterday when it switched off again. Till now, the phone is still switched off.
What is the solution to this??. I need urgent response. Thank you so much.

It seems redmi phones after the 7-series are problematic after about two years or am I missing something. Complaints here and there of redmi phones suddenly packing up. We don't hear of this for Redmi 7 series phones and below .

You're actually correct, my battery got disconnected despite the back is glued to the phone, I had to submit it to Raya care. Now I'm experiencing different problems like volume button pressing itself, screen display light changing frequently.
Honestly waiting for the phone to finally shut down before I get done with it.

You dey talk of two years.

Useless redmi 9c wey I buy, 2 weeks, phone off, refused to come on, and the useless Raya engineers told me to come with 10K to fix it.

I'll never use any redmi product again and I'll advice people not to use them either. Shitty brand and shitty customer service.

Hmm. That may be true.

But I'm currently using a Samsung s9 plus. My brother used it for about two years before giving it to me last year. I'm still enjoying it no issues at all. I had used Samsung A30 since 2019 before selling it off, no issues whatsoever. I think the problem is these cheap Chinese phones. They use inferior materials. Their price is cheap but they don't last long.

Button phones are actually good for calls. Go for original nokia feature phones. A bit costly but you won't regret it.

You are spot on.

If you buy a quality product, you will enjoy it, once a phone is produced with quality materials, it will last.

The phone I'm currently using to type this post, is a Nokia Android bought in 2018,by march 3,it will be four years old.

And it has never given me any problem, its body is still intact like new, i only changed the battery twice.

I have a Nokia Symbian phone currently still active, it was bought in the year 2006.
