Why should I repair my smartphone instead of buying a new one?

Whether it's a shattered display, a camera that no longer works or a battery that has already discharged after an hour, almost every smartphone user has already experienced that a part of the smartphone breaks prematurely. This problem is probably solved most quickly if you have insurance that covers the repair or replacement for a functioning device. But what if you don't have insurance or it has already expired? In this case, there are three options: Buy a new device, have the device repaired, or do the repair yourself.

Save money = do it yourself

The only option that is easy on the wallet is to do the repair yourself. A new smartphone is definitely the most expensive option, and having it repaired is not cheap either. Using the example of a broken display on an iPhone Xr, the cost of buying a new phone is 698.98.- and 225.60.- for a repair by Apple. As a comparison, at phondepot.ch a display with pre-installed frame can be bought for only 149.90.-. Repairing a display yourself can therefore be a great way to reduce the burden on your wallet.

Craftsmanship required?

Of course, repairing a smartphone requires a certain amount of manual skill. However, beginners can find enough instructions and explanatory videos on the internet to learn these skills at home. We also offer various tools on https://phonedepot.ch/gb/ that make working on the smartphone easier. And those who have learned how to repair a smartphone once and have bought the tools to do so will also benefit from this in the future, because it will almost certainly not be the last smartphone to break.

Be careful when buying spare parts

When repairing a smartphone, however, it is important to use parts that are of high quality and have the right dimensions. Otherwise, repairing quickly leads to frustration because the spare part does not fit the smartphone. Therefore, it is best to order from a trustworthy online shop with a right of return and not from an e-bay account in Asia. We at https://phonedepot.ch/gb/ therefore only offer high-quality and matching spare parts. And in case something does not arrive as expected, we offer a 30-day return policy for every order. So nothing can go wrong when you order from us.

So the next time a part of your smartphone no longer works, don't buy a new one straight away, but replace the defective part with a high-quality spare part. Your wallet will be happy!
