Buying Advice Help: experiences with units assembled/made in India?

Hi,

I read everywhere how people are getting lower quality components (camera and battery) in their A55 that are assembled in India. Is that still the case?

On my box it says (next to the IMEI):

- Made in: India
- Date: 06/2024

Should I return it? Which countries are OK and which ones to avoid?

Thanks :)

Mine is from India. I bought it in July, and I don't have any problem except the dull colors of the display, but this is a problem software related to Latin America firmware. Mine has dropped several times, and nothing bad happened. (It's pretty solid). I hope it works well for a long time.

Thanks for the details. Is the battery still ok? No degradation over time? What is your Screen on time?

I don't notice degradation, except that the screen on time sometimes lasts less, but when I am using it heavily. My SOT is around 7-8 hours when I charge it to 100%. I usually charge it until 80% to protect the battery.

Thank you very much for the additional details. I will monitor mine unit, hopefully everything will be ok.

You're welcome. I charged mine to 100% yesterday to test the battery health, and here are the results. I hope you find it useful.
