WHY IT IS BETTER TO REPAIR - THAN REPLACE YOUR PHONE.

Why It’s Better to Repair Than Replace Your Phone

At NXT GEN, we see it all the time - customers come in convinced their phone is done for, ready to spend hundreds on a new device. Just recently, one customer was about to spend £800 on a brand-new handset because his wouldn’t charge. Turns out, all it needed was a simple charging port service. Total cost? £10.

We’re not surprised. In today’s throwaway culture, we’re conditioned to believe that if something stops working, it must be time for an upgrade. But in most cases, that simply isn’t true.

The Smarter, More Sustainable Choice

1. Save Your Money
Most smartphone issues - from cracked screens and degraded batteries to charging problems - can be repaired quickly and affordably. In many cases, the total cost is less than 10% of what you’d pay for a new device. Why fork out hundreds when a skilled technician can get your handset running like new for a fraction of the price?

2. Help the Environment
Electronic waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world. Millions of perfectly fixable devices end up in landfill every year, contributing to pollution and resource depletion. Choosing to repair instead of replace helps reduce your environmental footprint and keeps valuable materials out of the bin.

3. Keep What You Know
You’ve set your phone up just how you like it - apps, passwords, photos, contacts, settings. A new device often means the hassle of data transfers, compatibility issues, and learning a whole new system. Repairing keeps you connected with the phone you’re comfortable with.

4. It's Often Quicker
We offer same-day repairs for most issues. No waiting for delivery, setting up a new phone, or standing in long queues at your network provider. Just walk in, get it fixed, and carry on with your day.
