Hi guyz.
About half a year ago, I posted a thread asking whether I should replace my battery on my beloved Lumia 1520 or if I should move on and use some other mobile OS.
Since then I've been using a shattered Galaxy S4 with Android 5.0.1 and It wasn't actually that bad (in terms of customization and hardware communication). The main reason I wanted an Android/iOS phone was just because of some apps that were missing on the Windows Store such as Snapchat and some few other apps. Now I've realized that I don't even need Snapchat no more cause I don't hang out with people as much as I used to... And to be honest, W10 Mobile is much better than any of the other mobile operating systems!
A brand new battery with 3500mAh (100+ mAh) on eBay cost only 12$. I remember in 2014 when I had WP8 on it, how the battery literally lasted for like 2 days. 3500mAh is pretty much for a modern smartphone and the price on eBay seems to be fairly nice. Is it worth it? By the way, my 1520 is in excellent condition.
I also have a Lumia 1020 which I bought during summer break from some random guy for like 50$. It was brand new and all but he told me that the sim reader is broken and that It needed a replacement. I found some sim readers on eBay for the 1020 and they were only 2-4$ each. Should I do it?
The reason is asking for advice from you guys is only because of W10 Mobile and it's efficiency in the near future. I've heard from a bunch of people that mid to late 2017 will be revolutionizing for smartphones. Like x86 chip phones, phones that can bend like rubber, etc.
Then again, should I fix at least one of them?
Or should I wait for a new smartphone.
