Short answer: repair usually makes sense when the phone still performs well, receives software updates and the repair costs substantially less than a suitable replacement.
Five questions to ask
- Does the phone still meet your daily needs?
- Is the damage limited to a screen, battery, charging port or back glass?
- What is the total repair cost compared with replacement?
- Is your data backed up and transferable?
- Will the repaired phone continue receiving security updates?
When replacement may be wiser
Replacement may be the better value when several major components are failing, the frame is severely damaged, software support has ended or the device no longer provides the performance and storage you need.
