Lets explore the most common phone repairs that your new phone might need. This may influence your choice of phones to buy and how to protect your new phone.

Screen Repairs

By far the most common repair of all. Phone screens durability for Apple, Samsung, OnePlus  and Huawei, have come a long way since the advent of smartphones.

Apple iPhone’s from iPhone 12 now use Ceramic Shield, an improvement on the Gorilla glass used on older models.   Samsung, Huawei and OnePlus  also use improved versions of Gorilla glass .

Apple iPhone screens repairs are very cheap whilst Samsung's are not especially the flagship models that include Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4.

Flagships from Huawei and OnePlus  including OnePlus  11, Huawei Mate 50 Pro are still cheaper to fix than Samsung models but overall iPhone remains cheaper to fix.

However, there is a bright side. You can protect your phone screen with a screen protector which will save you a lot of headaches.  These screen protectors are very strong and may just what you need to prolong the life of your new phone. 

In term of easy of fixing, Apple phone rank at the top of ease of repairing the screen especially the iPhone 14 screen repair.  The least repairable phones are those with bendable screens especially the Galaxy Fold 4 and Flip 4 models.  Parts and expertise are scarce for these screens but will improve with time.

Battery

Arguably the second most important component in the phone, if not the first.  Without a screen you can’t see anything. Without a battery, your phone is a good as a doorstop (remember those Yellow page books?)

As your daily routines get hectic, we need bigger batteries, power banks, tips on reducing battery drain and replacement batteries

What drains your battery? Everything! However, browsing, WIFI calls, using the camera drain the battery faster.  As such when buying a phone, you need one with a good battery that could potentially last all day. Failing that you can always carry around a power bank or a charger.

Luckily, batteries have been growing in size too.  These charts show the hours that could be expected from phone use. Results will vary depending on use cases and age of phone but undoubtedly the new iPhone range have the best batteries. iPhone 14 Pro Max has the best battery in the latest range followed by the iPhone 14 Pro

Samsung phones are no slouches either m with Samsung s23 Ultra leading the charge at 13 hours of battery life.

In the age of multitasking, its not uncommon to have one being on a call, whilst either browsing or playing a game.  Or even a late-night video call with your partner who is far away. Good batteries are needed for that. Batteries age with use

Our battery replacements services are quick and can be done whilst you wait.

For the power-hungry consumer, we sell portable chargers and a range of USB chargers and travel adapters for charging on the go.

It is important to use original cables or safe cables to charge your phone. This reduces risk of damage to yourself or your phones battery.  We provide excellent phone accessories for all phones including all iPhone models, Samsung, Nokia, Sony, OnePlus and more.

Camera

Give a man a fish, and you feed for a day. Give him a camera phone and you condemn him to a life of selfies (ok bad joke. It sounded better in my head)

But you get the point, we crave good cameras to take pictures of our food, pets, holidays photogenic friends and receipts.

The latest flags from Apple, Samsung, OnePlus and google all spot power cameras.

You can’t go wrong with any of these. With these excellent cameras come with huge bulges at the back of the phone and the need for protectors for the lenses.

A broken camera lens leads to dust build-up and could damage your phone.  Cameras can be expensive to fix. For iPhone since the front cameras and face ID sit within the same spot, it’s best not to attempt any DIY repairs and better to trust a professional to do the job. Again, that’s where we come in.

Back Glass

As phones become luxury pieces of luggage, they are becoming more brittle. And this is more evident in the back glass of flagship models including the Apple iPhone 11 ,12 and 14 Range. Samsung Galaxy models also have

The latest iPhone from iPhone 8 plus to iPhone 14 pro max have back glass. This makes them easy to charge using wireless charging.

You can have your cake and eat it too. By buying the correct case or back glass protector, you can still use wireless charging, be stylist and have your phone protected.

Our repair services also cover back glass replacement for all mobile phones including the iPhone 8, X, XS, 11, 12. 13 and pro range.  Our qualified engineers can also repair Samsung devices
