Repair or Exchange My Redmi note 9 pro max?
I bought my mobile in 2020. For 6 years it gave me no trouble and I didn't spend a single penny on it for repair.
Even now it works and looks as good as a new one, fast and smooth. I dropped it multiple times once from a great height as well but It withstood that and it doesn't has no body damage eventhough I didn't use a screen protector.
Now from the past few months, it started rebooting on it own sometimes when I leave it idle. I found out it was because of a issue with the CPU soldering. I am playing music on background as a temporary fix. It'll cost about 2k INR for CPU reballing. And another 800 INR for ribbon cable which is the reason for my camera malfunction. And another 1.5K INR for screen replacement because of dead pixels.
Everything else works well, it's still fast as hell with no lag and the battery lasts for more than a day.
I really like MIUI, I got everything customized in my phone.
I'm thinking of buying POCO X8 pro max.
My dilemma is Should I put it up for exchange which will give me 4K INR off including the extra exchange discount or should I spend 4K INR on its repair and keep it with me as a secondary mobile.
