What to do with a broken phone screen?
A broken phone is easy done, we’ve all been there! Whether your device has fallen off a counter or you’ve dropped it accidentally, screens can smash easily and make your phone a hassle to use. Even after all that stress, you then need to think about what to do with your damaged device; is it worth buying a new phone or repairing your current one with a new screen? Either way, a lot of factors can play a part in your decision; here we take a look at your two options when dealing with a damaged screen and the best way forward for you.
1. Buying a New Phone
Whenever you buy a new phone, it’s an expensive purchase – especially if it’s not necessary. When you think about the likes of Apple, Samsung and other brand constantly bringing out new models; prices quickly shoot up and become competitive. Even with this to consider, there are some situation where a new phone may be better for you; for example, if your phone is an older model, it may be cheaper for you to upgrade than repair your device – as it won’t be worth as much, due to all the newer models ahead of it. Alternatively, if you use your phone daily (e.g. for work purposes); it may be difficult to part with it for it be repaired. However, due to the current demand for new phones; a screen replacement through Repair My Phone Screen will get you back with a phone a lot quicker than buying a new one.

2. Replacing Your Current Screen
As we’ve just mentioned, replacing your phone screen can be a lot quicker than waiting on a new one to be delivered; pair that with how quick and easy a screen replacement is, replacing your current screen is a high contender. When you factor in how long you’ve had your phone, as well as any new models that come out; restoring your current device to its former glory is a much cheaper and quicker solution than spending hundreds (or thousands) on a new phone. Screen replacements are also known to prolong the life of any device; in this extra time – you can wait for newer technology and models to be developed – such as the introduction of water proof phones in recent years!
