Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus Repair Vienna
The Mi 5s Plus was one of the first smartphones with a dual camera back in 2016 – a real pioneer. But after almost a decade, the battery often makes itself heard: it barely lasts half a day anymore. Cracked display glass and a sluggish charging system are also among the most common complaints. Reparo repairs your Mi 5s Plus in Vienna – via pickup service or send-in from anywhere in Austria, with a 6-month warranty.

Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus repair Vienna – when a pioneering device starts to struggle
The Mi 5s Plus was ahead of its time in 2016: as one of the very first smartphones, it featured a dual camera with two lenses before other manufacturers even considered the idea. The 5.7-inch display was generously sized by the standards of the day and made the device the larger alternative to the Mi 5s. Almost nine years later this phone still accompanies many users – but the passage of time leaves traces you can feel.
The clearest sign: the battery simply doesn't last anymore. What used to last all day is now empty after a few hours – sometimes faster than the device can charge. This isn't because something is broken, but because battery cells simply wear out after so many charge cycles. A battery swap on the Mi 5s Plus visibly brings the device back into shape – many users report that the phone feels like new again afterwards.
Display glass and charging port – the other common weak spots
Besides the battery, two other areas often suffer after almost a decade of use: the display glass and the USB-C charging port. The glass cracks quickly in a fall – and even without a drop, tiny micro-cracks can form over the years that make the touchscreen unreliable. The charging port suffers from repeated plugging and unplugging; at some point the cable no longer sits firmly, or the device only charges in a certain position. Both can be repaired without replacing the entire device.
Reparo repairs your Mi 5s Plus in Vienna with high-quality spare parts and gives a 6-month warranty on all work. You don't have to bring the device in personally: either we collect it via pickup service directly from you in Vienna, or you send it in insured by post – anywhere in Austria. The diagnostic check costs 25 EUR and is waived when we carry out the repair.
Is repairing a device from 2016 worth it?
The Mi 5s Plus is a robust device – and repairing it is cheaper than buying new in most cases. When the battery is swapped, the display replaced and the charging port renewed, you have a device that works reliably again. On top of that, all your data, contacts and settings are preserved during a repair. With a new purchase you'd have to set everything up from scratch. Anyone who knows the Mi 5s Plus and is happy with it is often better off with a repair.
Frequently asked questions about Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus repair
How much does the screen replacement on the Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus cost?
The screen replacement on the Mi 5s Plus costs from EUR 119. This price applies to the full replacement of the display glass and touchscreen unit. Whether original or high-quality aftermarket parts are used is something we discuss together beforehand. The exact figure depends on the damage – during the diagnostic check (25 EUR) we determine this and give you a binding written quote.
How much does the battery swap on the Mi 5s Plus cost?
The battery swap on the Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus costs EUR 69, including fitting and a 6-month warranty on the new part. Especially for a device that is almost nine years old, the battery swap is one of the most worthwhile repairs – most users notice the difference immediately. Fitting usually takes 1 to 2 hours.
How much does the back cover repair on the Mi 5s Plus cost?
Replacing the glass back on the Mi 5s Plus costs EUR 69. Cracks or chips on the back are not only visually annoying – they can also let moisture get inside. We replace the glass completely, so the device is sealed and good-looking again.
How much does the charging port repair on the Mi 5s Plus cost?
Repairing the USB-C charging port on the Mi 5s Plus costs EUR 69. That covers removal, replacement of the faulty port and restoring the charging function. If the cable no longer sits firmly or the device only charges in a certain position, the port is usually worn – that is normal after years of intensive use and easy to fix.
The Mi 5s Plus is over 8 years old – is a repair still worth it?
For many users a repair is absolutely worth it. A battery swap and a screen replacement together cost less than a cheap new device – and you keep all your data, contacts and apps without any effort. The Mi 5s Plus is robustly built and still runs stably on a current Android version. Anyone who knows the device and gets along with it benefits more from a repair than from switching.
Why do old Xiaomi devices like the Mi 5s Plus often urgently need a new battery?
Battery cells have a limited number of charge cycles. After almost nine years in use, the original battery of the Mi 5s Plus has long exceeded this limit – it simply stores less energy than before. The result: the device is already empty at midday even though it was fully charged in the morning. A new battery fixes this completely, because it isn't the device that's worn out, only the cell.
Can I just drop my Mi 5s Plus off spontaneously?
No – Reparo works without walk-in customers and has no open shop. You cannot hand in your Mi 5s Plus in person. Instead, we collect the device via pickup service in Vienna directly from you, or you send it in insured by post. This gives us time for a thorough repair, and you don't have to travel anywhere.
How does sending in from all over Austria work?
You book an appointment, pack your Mi 5s Plus safely – ideally with some cushioning material – and send it as an insured parcel to Reparo. After the repair we ship the device back to you insured and packaged. The process works smoothly across Austria; many customers from Graz, Linz or Salzburg use this route regularly.
How does the pickup service in Vienna work?
You book an appointment online and provide your address in Vienna. We collect your Mi 5s Plus at an agreed time directly from you – at home or at work. After the repair we deliver the device back to you. You don't have to leave the house and save yourself any trip.
What warranty applies after the repair?
We give a 6-month warranty on all repairs and fitted spare parts. If a problem with the repaired component occurs within this period, we fix it free of charge. The warranty applies to the repair carried out – new damage from a drop or water is excluded.
Are original or aftermarket parts used?
For the Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus we use high-quality spare parts that match the original specifications. Original parts from Xiaomi are often no longer available for a device of this age; the aftermarket parts we use are tested and reliable. On request we discuss the options transparently in advance.
Will I lose my data during the screen replacement?
No – during the screen replacement on the Mi 5s Plus no data is touched. The storage and operating system remain fully intact. Photos, contacts, apps and settings are exactly as present after the repair as before. Still, we recommend making a backup before sending it in – that is generally good practice.
Repair or new purchase – which is the better choice for the Mi 5s Plus?
If the battery and display are the only problem, the repair is clearly the cheaper and more convenient choice. Both repairs together cost less than most new entry-level smartphones – and you keep all your data without migration. Anyone who relies on a better camera or more up-to-date software support, on the other hand, should weigh up the switch. But for everyone who knows and values the device, a repair makes sense.
What does "diagnostic check 25 EUR – waived on repair" mean?
If you're not sure what's wrong with your Mi 5s Plus, we fully check the device for 25 EUR. You then get a clear diagnosis and a written quote. If you decide to go ahead with the repair, the 25 EUR is waived – you only pay the repair price. The diagnostic check is therefore not an extra fee but a tool for orientation.
What should I do if my Mi 5s Plus has water damage?
Switch the device off immediately and do not charge it – that is the most important thing to avoid further damage. Don't shake water out and don't put it in rice, that doesn't really help. Send the Mi 5s Plus in as quickly as possible or call us. The sooner we clean and dry the device, the higher the chance of saving it completely.
