Is it worth fixing a cracked phone screen?

It is almost always worth it to fix a cracked phone screen rather than discard it or to trade it in for a newer model. Cracked mobile phone screens are the most common problems that smartphone owners face by a wide margin, spanning all manufacturers and models. A mobile phone screen replacement can extend the lifespan of your device by around 1-2 years or perhaps longer.

Should I buy a new phone or repair my phone?

Generally, if the cost of repairing your phone is at least half the cost of buying a replacement model, it isn’t worth repairing it. Otherwise, it’s almost always better to repair your old mobile phone from an economical point of view. Moreover, it’s also much better for the environment to repair older devices than to buy new.

How many years should a mobile phone last?

The average age of a smartphone is approximately 2.5 years as of 2024. The lifespan of your particular mobile phone can vary significantly, depending on how well you care for it and how you use it.

Notably, some manufacturers tend to have far better mobile phone lifespans than others. Roughly, Apple iPhones can last for 4-8 years, Samsung Galaxy mobile phones may last 3-6 years, and Huawei, Xiaomi, and Oppo mobile phones usually last 2-4 years.

How long should you have a phone before getting a new one?

Unless your phone is damaged and requires repairs, you should generally use your phone for its full lifespan before buying a newer model. This is normally around 2.5 years, although some manufacturers offer mobile phones with substantially longer lifespans.

Replacing your phone with a newer model is recommended for security reasons as it approaches the end of its operating system support. Normally, this is approximately 2-3 years for Android devices and 5-7 years for iOS devices.

How long does it take to replace a cracked iPhone screen?

An iPhone screen replacement normally takes around 30 minutes to an hour.

A qualified smartphone technician normally has a large inventory of replacement screens for most current phone models and can competently replace your mobile phone screen quickly and at competitive prices.

Should I fix my phone screen myself?

Although do-it-yourself mobile phone repair tools can seemingly save you time and money, they are not usually recommended for DIY screen repair. For most mobile phone models, the touchscreen is delicate and relies on a digitiser in order to receive inputs (taps and finger gestures).

These components can become further damaged from careless DIY repair attempts, so it is usually faster and cheaper to leave the task to a qualified mobile phone repair technician near you.

Can I still use my phone with a cracked screen?

Depending on the severity of damage to your mobile phone screen, you may still be able to use the device or it may be impossible to use. Small scuffs, scratches, or minor cracks in the corners of the screen may not call for full replacement of the screen; spiderweb cracks or hairline cracks extending end-to-end almost certainly will.

It’s important to remember that all cracks can spread over time, especially with repeated use of the device since your fingers are interacting and applying pressure to the screen. Moreover, hairline cracks could cause cuts and injuries to your fingers, so replace your mobile phone screen to avoid these problems.

Is it worth repairing a 3 year old phone?

Depending on the cost of repairs and the type of damage sustained, it may or may not be worth repairing a 3 year old phone. Most phones last around 2.5 years and Android devices typically do not receive operating system support after around 2-3 years, so it is generally better to replace rather than repair older Android phones for security reasons.

iPhones and other high-end flagship models such as Samsung Galaxy tend to receive support for longer and have longer lifespans. For these mobile phones, it is almost always more economical to repair them once they’re 3 years old or even older.

How much does it cost to fix a cracked phone screen on Android?

The cost of a mobile phone screen repair can vary substantially based on your phone model, the quality of replacement screen (e.g. OEM vs aftermarket), and the cost of labour.

Android-based mobile phones tend to have cheaper replacement screens than most current-generation iPhones, especially when compared to genuine Apple replacement screens, for example. Request a quote from a local mobile phone shop today.
