  • No, because even cheap smart phones are often expensive and difficult to repair. My current phone is an s10 ive had since 2020 and even today it would cost me £50 to replace the screen myself.

    I refuse to treat my phone as disposable so when i very rarely buy a new phone, ill buy one that i could repair myself and with internals that will last a long time.

    Budget phones are usually out for me because they usually become annoyingly slow after only a few years which means i usually end up spending more for a mid range which means repairs cost more if i need them. Therefore putting a decent case on it makes sense.















  • If Andoid isnt your thing or it doesn’t align with your needs, at least try and buy used, refurbished, or repair it yourself if possible. Most common repairs (I.e.battery, speakers, charging port, sometimes screens) aren’t actually all that difficult and have pretty detailed guides on iFixit. Iphones get tricky but if you can, use a local independant repair shop. If it’s in your budget to buy a new phone, it’s probably in your budget to repair you old one.
