I have been using my Xiaomi Mi 6A for long hours every single day for voice calls, WhatsApp, Social Media and photography ever since I bought it in early July 2019 without any hassles whatsoever. That's exactly 6 years of uninterrupted service. 

Since May 2025, the handset was losing charge very fast, from 100% to 0% within 4 hours of moderate internet use 😰. 

On Thursday 2025-07-19, I replaced the battery of my Mi 6A from a small shop near Joramandir market in Beliaghata, Kolkata 700010. Its owner, a soft spoken and well behaved man, Tarak Das who knows his job well, is known to me since end June 2019. 

Hopefully, the phone starts serving me well for the next couple of years. 

P.S: If any of my contacts want to get their phones repaired feel free to get the work done only by Tarak. However, stay clear from getting any work done by Tarak's assistant who sits across the counter. He lacks the much needed X-factor. This person is just the opposite of Tarak's skill and behaviour! The assistant might actually jeopardize Tarak's business and hard earned reputation.
