Should I buy a new phone or Repair my old phone to continue?
PLEASE try to read fully..
I own a Motorola Edge 20 Fusion which I bought back in Mar 2022. I feel its battery is failing from last year itself.. Just giving less than a day.. But rest all is fine, NO issues.. So, I took to service center to replace battery but they said the OG battery for this model is no more available, so try replace with a compatible one.. So I dropped that option and continuing to use it.. But from this year I feel the battery is behaving ok like giving full 1 day for my usage..
Also my mom was using Oneplus 9R since Sept 2021.. In Sept 2024, the phone got green line.. So we repaired it for free and continued using it.. Then in Oct 2025, the phone again got multiple green lines.. But this time along with it a partial left side of screen went unresponsive.. Also there are signs of battery bloating because there are signs of back panel popping out.. So she was using it till Mar 2025 until we got her a new Pixel 9A..
I just contacted Vivo (as Vivo has taken over Oneplus) about repairing the screen and they said they can still do it.. I might replace battery as well..
Now, I was thinking to buy a Samsung phone like S25 FE, but looks like the price is fluctuating a lot.. I was planning to buy it for around 40k, but its not coming to that.. People are saying the price will come down in BBD sale in Oct, but I dont believe it due to increase in phone prices of all brands recently..
So what should I do? What till BBD and buy a new phone like S25FE or Vivo X200 FE? OR repair my Oneplus 9R by repairing the screen and changing the battery and still use it for next atleast 1.5 yrs??
