India: United We Stand

Folk, I broke my screen by accident today, 8 days after I bought it 😢

Dropping by the repair centre (F1 infosolutions), they opened up their price list and said it would cost me 50% of the phone's actual cost to replace.

The cost of the screen was 8077/- but they added 15283/- saying both the screen + body cost will be charged since repairs aren't done in India anymore after B2X stopped their Google repairs.

I had to pay upfront, and now I have to wait for 10 days where they do some 'diagnosis' and then just give me a new phone.

I guess given Google isn't a hardware company, so this was bound to happen. Given the inflated cost of their devices in India, you'd be much better off buying Samsung/Xiaomi or even an Apple device with Applecare.
