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.
it depends on how much the repair cost if it is more exspensive then new phone I replace the phone
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.
