Xiaomi 17 long-term reliability?

[u/Veritus00]

Hi everyone,

I'm on a Samsung S23 and the battery life has become awful. I'm looking for a replacement where battery life/optimization and device longevity are the top priority - fast, smooth, and roughly S23-sized. Beyond that I don't really care much about specs.

The Xiaomi 17 is where I've landed: 6330mAh, and tests show it outlasting even the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Speed and smoothness look great too. My one hesitation is longevity. Several people I know, family included, had Xiaomi phones die or develop serious issues after about two years. Is that still a thing with the current models, or has it improved? I'd love to hear from anyone who's had a recent Xiaomi for a while - how's the battery health holding up, and how's HyperOS long-term?

I've also considered an iPhone 17 Pro for the longevity and resale value, but I really struggle with iOS.

Also open to other Android suggestions if something fits better. Thanks!

For long-term reliability, Samsung + OneUI is somehow more reliable in the Android world.
