Should I Repair or Replace my Phone?
If you have ever found yourself in such situations and later felt that you made a wrong choice on the matter, under pressure as the time limit, cost or just to your heart's direction, look at our points for consideration while deciding on Repair or Replace dilemma. It might help you make the right rook lift or, in other words, an informed decision.
Damage Severity
Whether you are just unboxing it or have been using it for the past century, every phone is equally susceptible to being damaged or broken. And what do we do with the damaged or broken things? We get them repaired. When it's about repair or replacement, the first thing you need to access is the extent of the damage on your mobile phone. Once you have the measure of damage, you can collect the details for the repair. Details like the replacement parts cost, a sound technician, feasibility to travel to the repair station and a few others that you can get your mind on. But your decision to whether to repair or replace the device depends highly on the repair total cost factor. If the repair cost is beyond economy considering the phone's actual price, it's best to get a whole new phone. But if the repair seems economical and costs nowhere near your new dream phone, you can opt for repairing the device until you are pretty confident with your finance to get that new phone.
Age of the Phone
Not all of us have the liberty to get the flagship mobiles in every single release. We tend to do with what we have. Some of us are so good at it that the phone goes through a decade. Well, not actually a decade. Anyway, after having the same phone for around 3-5 years, the phone might show some faultiness. The mobile would have a drop in its performance; it might as well have a few bruises. It might also have lost the appreciation through your eyes, and well, let's not dig the poor mobile phone's faults. It had been your friend for quite a time and had helped you get through the days of your life. Now it might be the time to let your friend rest. You can keep the phone safely tucked for future reminiscence and get yourself a new friend. In contrast, if your mobile phone was a brand new flagship product, you might want to visit or make an online inquiry at repair centres around you. You need to heal that buddy and walk the walks you promised when you had just bought it. Also, that will be relatively easy on your pockets.
Duration of Repair
If your damaged phone was a flagship product, and you can't seem to sponsor another phone for some time, you should opt for the repair. Most of the time, the duration would just take about a week. We can go through a week without mobile, right? Wait, what, No. It will be the longest week of our life, but still, it will pass. Our friend will be healed, and we can be with it again. So, yes, if it's about a week, we will somehow bear with or well, without it. But it will be pretty strenuous to manage our days when the repair time goes to about a month's duration. Rather than having your days turn into a chaotic outbursts as you count the repair days, you can simply get a cheap substitute to console yourself during the healing phase of your friend. When a repair is pocket-friendly and the phone hasn't lost its market, it's always good to go for repair and have a cheap substitute just in in-case.
Phone's Contents
Although the mobile manufacturers have provided us with the facility of backing up our files, sometimes the situation gets the better or worse of us and leaves us down a dark alley with no hopes. For various reasons, we might be at loss of the precious memories or important documents that we have on our mobile phones. In such scenarios, it would be best to let every little light passing through the window slits in the alley guide you. I mean, consult a mobile repairer asking for the chances of data recovery. If you can get your device repaired, that's good. If not, you just got to live with the aches and traces of those invaluable in your heart or face your boss with a damn straight face and straight words.

Of course, life is not just a straight line where things come up in a line. The above factors could very well just cluster in any possible fashion, and there can be various other factors as well. In the end, it's up to us to decide the best way to get around the problem. The points mentioned above are just guidelines to help us see through the actual problem we are having and find the best route to go beyond it. That's all for this post. Folks!!!
