Q: Is it better to repair or replace a smartphone?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually more affordable to repair your smartphone than replace it, with repairs averaging around <b>$150</b> and a full replacement averaging over <b>$800</b>. There are exceptions to this, as severe water damage might be prohibitively expensive, depending on the replacement cost of your phone. For less severe damage, like a broken charging or headphone port, buttons or rockers that don&rsquo;t work, or a broken screen, you&rsquo;ll likely pay far less for a smartphone repair, making it the better option.</p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to repair a phone or get a new one?

• <div><p>In most cases, it is more affordable to repair a cellphone than it is to buy a new one. The average cost to repair a phone is around <b>$180</b>, while the average smartphone costs between <b>$720</b> <b>and</b> <b>$1,000 </b>or more. Repair costs are almost never more than 50% of the total phone cost, with the high end of repairs costing around <b>$350</b>. If you hire a professional phone repair service near you, you&rsquo;ll usually save significant funds repairing instead of replacing your cellphone.</p></div>

Q: How long does a phone screen repair take?

• <div><p>Most smartphone repair specialists can replace your phone screen in <b>30 to 45 minutes</b>, depending on the model. The repair could take longer if components under the screen are also damaged and need to be replaced. If you attempt to do the work yourself using a phone screen repair kit, set aside one to two hours to learn the correct steps and implement them carefully.</p></div>

Q: Who is the person who fixes phones?

• <div><p>A cellphone repair technician is the person that typically repairs phones, and there are specialties within that position, like a cellphone screen repair technician. In most cases, you can send your phone to your manufacturer for repair, but this option usually takes significantly longer and costs more than hiring a local cellphone repair specialist. If you choose a reputable repair technician, the repair will be more or less identical to what the manufacturer would provide.</p></div>
