The metal body on the side of my Mi Band 10 has broken.
I bought my Mi Band on October 4th of last year from Noon.com in Dubai. I purchased it for 160 Dirhams (approximately 44 USD), and it came with a 6-month international warranty. Since buying it, I have worn it 24 hours a day, except when bathing. About a month ago, the strap broke, so I left the device unused at home for a month. I charged it once during that time, and it was still working fine. After buying a replacement strap, I started using it again; however, within a few days, I noticed that the metal body on the side had bent—this is clearly visible from the back. I continued using it without worrying too much about it. But today, I noticed the issue had worsened, and the metal casing had actually cracked on both sides. I can't figure out why this happened. Could it be due to the battery swelling? The band still provides the same battery backup as before, so there are no functional issues. Should I keep using it? I am concerned that if it is caused by the battery, there might be health risks involved. Can anyone tell me exactly why this happened?
