So, I thought I’d kick things off here with some community building.
Quote this post with answers to the below!
What phone are you using?
Are you happy with it? What are its best and worst qualities?
Which phones have you had previously? Which were the best and worst of the lot?
How often do you upgrade to a new phone?
What other Android ecosystem devices do you have? Watches, headphones/earbuds, etc.
Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.)
Repair it for how much? Why not buy a newer but not so new OnePlus instead? e.g. OnePlus 9
I had a 6T, used it for almost 4 years, and then it became laggy with bad battery life, so I recently upgraded to a 9
The 8, 9, and 10 just aren’t exciting phones to me. A battery is some $11 and the back is $31 for parts. I figure once labor goes in, we’re probably sitting at 125-150. Maybe 200. I don’t know how their repair program works exactly, but I’ve been curious to give it a spin.
Besides, replacing the battery will make it feel like new again. If I buy a used phone, I’m getting a used battery. And once the parts are replaced, I’m getting the same device back. No migrating libraries or reinstalling apps. Just back it up and mail it off. I have a spare phone I can use for a few weeks in the meantime.
So your 7T is still running smoothly? No lag?
Honestly I like my 6T better, but it really is laggy after 3-4 years of use.
No lag at all for me personally. But I don’t do anything intense on it either. I’m usually checking email, dicking around on the web, watching yt vids, or doing crossword puzzles on this thing.
I also spent the first couple years or so charging to only 80%. I only pretty recently started going to 100% regularly to make up for the degrading battery. I can still get a full day on a charge. I’d just like to get back to a day and a half or two full days again.
