Do you repair your smartphone or replace it?

If your smartphone malfunctions, especially after the warranty period is over, do you get it repaired or simply replace it with a new phone? If you get your phone repaired, what is the cost of the phone?

I think the price varies. My cellular phone wasn't functioning years ago and the problem was the LCD. It was replaced and the replacement pay was $20. My phone dropped on the floor which is why the LCD was damaged.

I usually have it repaired by a reliable phone technician. The cost of the repair differs. If it is a serious issue, for instance, motherboard, it can cost around $80 or more.

I don't even advice anyone to get to repair a smartphone issue that has to do with the board. It isn't always worth it as it would always malfunction again.

I have repaired my smartphone just once and it was the charging port. If it is recurrent faults, I just replace the smartphone.

I only purchase the cheapest smartphones available so if there is a problem it is cheaper and easier to just replace it with a newer cheap smartphone costing usd 100 or less.

I have not experienced my phone brought to tech. I am taking good care of my phone. If it will be badly damaged one day, I better buy a new one to let my phone relax for some months before bringing it to the expert echnician.

The best option would be to replace it, but I don't have that kind of money to buy a phone whenever I need it. If it's something I can repair, then that's what I would do.

Even the manufacturers get to repair gadgets. It is only when the risks of successful repair is very low that you should discard your gadgets.
