I went to Novelty Market today to get my phone's piston/vibrator part replaced. I got confused because there were so many repair shops, so I randomly chose one where a boy was standing.

I asked him to replace the part, but instead of repairing it in front of me, they said, "We'll get it done," took my phone somewhere else, and refused to let me come along. After about 2 minutes, they came back, said the part had been replaced, and charged me ₹400.

Something didn't feel right, so I went to another repair shop nearby and asked the technician to open my phone in front of me. As soon as he opened it, he showed me that the old part was still inside. The previous shop had never replaced it—they simply lied and took ₹400 from me.

I got it repaired properly at the second shop, and they explained everything while opening the phone in front of me.

Just sharing this so others don't get scammed like I did. Please never let a repair shop take your phone out of your sight. Always ask them to repair it in front of you and show you the old part after replacing it.

Has anyone else had a similar experience at Novelty Market?

I have ₹65,000 — which phone should I buy? Should I go for Galaxy S25?
