When your mobile phone breaks — especially the display, battery, or motherboard — you're faced with one big question:
> "Should I repair it or buy a new one?"
At Sanskart Mobiles, RS Puram – Coimbatore, we guide our customers honestly based on the issue, mobile model, and cost involved.
Let’s break it down 👇

📱 Common Situations – Repair or Replace?
1. Broken Display Glass
✅ Repair – If only the outer glass is broken and the display & touch are working fine, go for glass replacement. It’s 70% cheaper than full display.
2. Display + Touch Not Working
✅ Repair – Most new display replacements are OEM quality and feel just like the original. Perfect if you're not upgrading soon.
3. Battery Problem (Fast Drain / Swelling)
✅ Repair – Battery replacement is quick (under 1 hour) and costs much less than a new phone.
4. Phone Hangs or Lags
⚖️ Depends – Try software reset or RAM cleanup first. If it's a 4G phone with 2GB RAM, upgrade might be better.
5. Water Damage or Dead Phone
⚠️ Repair (If Data Important) – If the phone has important data, bring it to us immediately. We try recovery & board-level repair.
