My longest serving phone. As an audiophile the DAC experience gat me stuck
How do you deal with the fact the phone could bootloop any time rendering your investment worthless. I wanted to buy one but the bootloop issue scared me away

U sure that you didnt load it up with excess materials..leaving no room for the phone to 'breathe'

The phone has never bootlooped on me..sold a couple of v20s and a whole lot of G5s.. The word bootloop and lg are not synonymous.

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
That shouldn't deter you. It doesn't mean all INFINIX phones would have similar issue. Anytime my own starts lagging, I just delete some unnecessary files that have taken a lot of space that I wouldn't be needing and the lag stops. INFINIX is a nice brand.

Another thing is visiting junk sites. Those redirected sites. None recommended sites. Anyway you may put it. Always clear your cache, that's very important.

Another heads up : users should reduce the level they update their devices. You must not update to the latest version of anything. My updates was once and that's it. It updated itself in 2018 though. So, what's the fuzz?

Yeah, I get you.. I've been really careful about the junk sites, clearing cache and all that.. It really isn't about that, I got to know that some manufacturers actually do write viruses in the phone ROM's partition, it just stays like a time bomb waiting to explode and boom when the phone is going 2-3yrs old, the viruses just appears like an uninvited guest that refuses to go away.. So wicked and stubborn even after trying to format it all, I learnt they do flash stock ROM or something like that, I'm honestly just sooo tired of it all.. That was also how my Tecno phone stressed my life out back then, having crazy phone issues can be really tiring and frustrating tbh

Just checked them out now, they're very pretty I must confess, I'm not totally satisfied with the battery power.. But if you're fine with it, I think you should go for it

you can as well contact "noobody" or "protein0" for nicer ones with greater battery. Xiaomi is very good.

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?
Camon 11 Pro one month.
