Hello guys, ashamed to say I keep running into this issue. The phone I have been using is Redmi note 10/9 or similarly cheap but fast and good phones. Just only my Redmi note 11 died, and I suspect it is from water damage since my previous one was water damage. I do bring it into bathroom to play music while showering and do drop my phone often. I’ll probably be downvoted from my lack of care, but is my habits really damaging?

Is it a dumb idea to repurchase the same model again despite it having died again? Or invest in more expensive phones.
