When receive calls, the internet hotspot connection will be lost. Is that normal for all phones? I seemed remember iPhone has no such broke off connection?

Also same thing happen with lost GPS when in a call.

My mi A1 failed me in a year. Both hardware (buttons) and software(lag)

I told myself, not to buy budget phone again. Waste of money and time. Even buying an older iPhone doesn't cause me hardware problems beside the poor battery & low ram

Whatever youtuber/user says , it's their first impressions fair enough. But it's just not reliable enough as daily driver for longer term. Failure hardware thats worst than nokia 3315

I've used oppo f11 pro a mid range phone , more than 1year and the buttons are fine.

Budget/mid range spec is not good enough and I don't game much too. The idea is just like getting a PC. Cpu, ram , storage, software, screen are important.

All these phone manufacturers throw in specs that's not needed and jack up the price which youtubers say USD700/RM2.8k phones are budget phones now. Are you kidding me?

Now using OnePlus 8t, will hope it lasts me longer than all these older iPhone, budget/mid range androids

In my opinion, don't buy budget phones unless you have no choice. Even our older parents will be annoyed by the failure of such devices.

Have a nice day

Good to hear it works for you.

Scarily it sounds true... Yikes
