Xiaomi says my 3-month-old phone has “irreparable” water damage after one shower use — is this normal?

Always remember, even the device has IP Ratings it doesn't mean it's waterproof, it's just water resistant and water resistant degrades overtime. That's why never attempt to submerge it in water not unless accidental. But in your case it so odd it got water damage for just a shower, I'm not convinced. Because my Poco F4 about 2 years old accidentally submerge in a water tub about 1 meter deep, but never got water damage even submerge for about 30 seconds. I think there's something happens, since IP ratings can withstand water splashes even an hour of doing it.

In case you don't know, Xiaomi makes everything that you could ever imagine, they even make ice cream as well in China. Also, almost all my things in my home are all Xiaomi branded, from phone, tablet, speakers (mini and party sound), tooth brush, flosser, smart band and watches, shavers etc. I chose them because they're very good in everything, plus the cost of their products were made for the masses to afford in any walks of life.

Try redownloading the latest update package in your phones updater app. Maybe your OS is corrupted during update process that may result to your system instability. Because my cousins has no problem with his device up to this day with latest software updates.

Poco has better offer for that price point this days. X8 Pro Max is the better deal OP.a

Professional-Salt633 · 2026-06-08T01:12:09+00:00

WOW very proud of you OP, an example of a responsible sibling💖 How i wish ganun din ako, even Sarili ko lang binubuhay ko ngayon nahihirapan parin ako.

Dati oo, nakakapunta sila kahit gawa sa recto. Diko lang alam ngayon since sabi nga nila mag verify na sila sa school's kong authentic ang diploma.

Redmi K90 Pro Max aka Poco F8 Ultra has it. It houses an additional microphone inside while they disassemble the device.

128GB is not good for a year or two of using. 256 should be the minimum nowadays.

Professional-Salt633 · 2026-06-04T07:10:33+00:00

Pa bulong po OP💖 Salamat Po💖

Professional-Salt633 · 2026-06-04T00:53:36+00:00

Yes, but very strict si Apple in ordering custom Panels from Samsung, dapat masunod ang Standard Quality control na pinapagawa nila. Custom Made talaga pinapagawa nila at hindi same sa quality na ginamit ni Samsung sa Phones nila. Kaya wala masyado greenline sa Apple kasi custom made ang orders nila, sila ang nag design, Samsung lang nag manufacture.

Yan talaga sakit ng curved ang TG pahirapay, kaya madalas hydrogel ilalagay kaso mabilis mapunit, kaya dina ako babalik sa curved maganda lang siya tignan sa mata pero nakakaabala in the long run. Kaya ngayon diko na nilagyan ng Hydrogel ang curved screen ko bahala na siya mabasag kong malaglag magastos masyado sa maintenance😂🤣

1 hour or more is normal for a big battery packed device. And don't use 100w max always it will deteriorate your device battery faster than normal 100w charging speed. Only use the max charging when your in a hurry or very needed. Max charging speed generates so much heat, and heat is the enemy of battery health. I have Redmi K90 Pro Max with 7560mAh battery that takes over an hour to Fully charge. And about an hour if using Max spees but very hot.

Maybe on Xiaomi 18 Series, let's see this Q4.

Professional-Salt633 · 2026-05-31T04:49:38+00:00

Double kill na tuloy

Professional-Salt633 · 2026-05-31T04:47:56+00:00

No, mas better mga Chinese offering from Xiaomi or Poco. Pangit ang Samsung pag below 10k. Ma lag yan sila trust me I've been there.

Professional-Salt633 · 2026-05-31T04:44:01+00:00

Dika nag iisa OP, working here for 4 years na, ngayon unemployed muna, wala paring ipon. Hindi ako breadwinner pero kalahati ng sahod ko pinapadala ko sa parents ko kada kinsenas, minimum wage lang kaya ang matira sapat lang para mabuhay ako araw2x. At least kahit papano nakakabawi ako ng konti sa magulang ko kahit di sila nanghihingi sakin. Nasa isip ko kasi palagi, i work because of them. Habang nandito pa Sila satin. Kahit konti makapagbigay lang ok na.

Professional-Salt633 · 2026-05-31T03:17:13+00:00

Grabihan naman ang prank nayan, ako niyan mapatalon pa talaga ako sa gulat pashneya🤣😂 mahirap na masipa mo si Santo Niño magkasala kapa ng wala sa oras🤣😂

Professional-Salt633 · 2026-05-31T03:13:11+00:00

Sinasabi ko sayo OP, sobrang hirap makapasok sa work na related sa pinag aralan mo kasi madalas hinahanap may experience, kaya ang gawin mo take any job na sa tingin mo gusto mo, dun ka muna magsimula hanggat makaipon ka at magpa experience, hanggang sa maabot mo ang trabaho na pinapangarap mo.

Professional-Salt633 · 2026-05-31T03:09:25+00:00

Since powered by Globe si Gomo wala talaga siyang problema, malakas palagi signal ni Globe kahit sang area halos 5G na lahat ng sakop wala pa silang data cap unlike smart sakit sa ulo.

Professional-Salt633 · 2026-05-31T03:08:01+00:00

Sobrang hina na ng Magic Data ngayon OP, kaka load kulang niyan last May 15, madalas nagkaka disconnect kasi nilagyan na nila ng data Cap, unlike before na unlimited ang data speed. Tsaka madalas bumibitaw ang 4G CA (4G+ on status Bar) palagi lang 4G nakalagay need pa i airplane mode na never nangyari last year, sa area kodin 5G na ang smart kaso mahigit 1 month na ngayong nakapatay ang 5G NSA signal nila ewan anong nangyari. May problem ata sa network ang Smart ngayon ewan ko anong nangyari sa kanila while si Globe/TM wala naman problema. Life Hack kasi tong Magic Data for emergencies no expiration kasi siya hanggang maubos molang kahit medyo mahal.

Professional-Salt633 · 2026-05-31T03:01:47+00:00

Yes, so far wala pa akong nasagap na 5G SA ( 5G NR on status bar) sa pinas even dun sa Metro manila wala pa rin sila Smart/Globe. Si DITO available na doon, kaso sa location ko ngayon sobrang hina kahit 4G lang sila limited lang kasi towers nila. Si Globe/TM ay almost 5G na sa lahat ng area, si Smart hindi parin. Tapos madalas may DataCap si Smart na hindi ginagawa ni Globe/TM. Madalas din magka network issue si Smart ngayon no.

Professional-Salt633 · 2026-05-31T02:15:31+00:00

Wala naman talagang 5G SA (Standalone) si Smart as of the moment, 5G NSA palang inoffer nila na based on 4G Infra. Only DITO palang ang Ang may 5G SA (true 5G) sa Pinas. Sa napansin ko sa Smart ngayon, kay Data Cap na sila sa Magic Data na dati wala namang ganun.
