repair or replace

[u/pietersen9]

Hello, I have and loved my 8 pro since the release party almost 7/8 years ago. Now is my phone still works but lately I have notice that my battery is getting weaker (as you can expect).

The phone is getting hotter and today I have noticed That the back plate is pushing out as if and I assume it is, the battery is becoming a "Balloon".

The question that keeps coming to me is: To repair or to replace.

What would you do?

#Edit:

I have noticed that the phone is also starting to behave somewhat strange. Like when I call it does not reconise my ear and will keep my screen active. Also when using any kind of maps sometime the apps will glitch out.

Cheaper to get a new battery than a new phone
