    Wish it was available here in India. i would have totally bought this for my father. Repairing these phones is better than buying new ones when he barely does anything other than WhatsApp, youtube and calls.

      Repairing has generally been better than buying new for 98+% of cases in the last 5 years or so.

        Nah these glue shut phones are pain in ass. Phones need battery replacement after 3 years don’t want to go to a service center for a simple job.

          I didn’t mean in the sense that it’s been more practical. I was replying more to the idea that repairing being better isn’t dependent on a phone getting very light usage which is what they seemed to be impying.

          Very few new phone features released in the last 5 years or so add very much real value for very many people.
