My Nexus 6P has been nothing but trouble lately with the slow downs and shutting down at up to 40% battery. I'm sick of buying flag ship.
The Xiaomi Mi A1 ticks all the boxes except for battery capacity. I never want to worry about getting through a full day of usage. Sadly all the phones with large capacity are either flagship ($700+) or not USB-C such as the Red Mi 5 Plus 4. I've already fully commited to the USB-C world and am not going backwards.
Is their any devices out there that:
- Cost less than $250 AUD
- Have a mid range CPU (625)
- Have USB-C
- Have a high capacity battery (3800mAh)
- preferably dual sim
- 6 inches or less
you do realise that the Nexus 6P is made by Huawei right? Which so happens is a China brand, so shouldn't expect much quality… Secondly 6P was released towards the end of 2015. If you bought it back then, the battery will be around 2 years+ old by now which is usually the "expiry" date of lithium ion batteries even if they are left on the shelf unused. Any phone running a lithium ion with frequent use after 2 years will start to show some loss of charge and doesnt matter if it starts out with a high capacity battery. If you change the battery in your Nexus 6P there is a high chance that it will solve your shutting down problems.
Sometimes apps can cause the problem as well, or even a custom ROM. Have you tried doing a clean install on your nexus 6P using stock rom only? You will need to go into the recovery mode to do a complete factory wipe. Instructions link below.

The Xiaomi A1 is a no brainer budget phone at the moment if you are wanting something new and running stock android but will have to be imported and not covered by warranty.
