With new phone models launching every few months, many people ask the same question when their device breaks:

Should I repair it or just buy a new one?

At Baiki Phone Malaysia, we help customers make the best choice for their needs, budget, and device condition. Here are the key points to help you decide.

 

1. Repairing is Usually More Affordable

Most common issues like screen damage, battery problems, or charging port faults can be repaired for a small fraction of the cost of a new phone.

For example:

• A screen repair for iPhone or Samsung costs a few hundred ringgit
• A brand new flagship phone can cost over RM4,000

If your device is still in good condition overall, a quick repair saves money without sacrificing performance.

 

2. You Can Keep All Your Data

Replacing your phone usually means dealing with backups, transferring apps, logging into accounts, and sometimes losing files.

By choosing to repair:

• You keep your contacts, chats, photos, and saved settings
• You avoid the stress of starting over with a new device

Baiki Phone Malaysia also offers backup and data recovery services, so you don’t risk losing anything during the process.

 

3. Repair is Better for the Environment

Choosing to repair instead of replace helps reduce electronic waste, which is a growing problem in Malaysia and around the world.

By repairing your phone, you help:

• Reduce e-waste going into landfills
• Cut down on the use of rare materials
• Support a more sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle

 

4. When You Should Consider Replacing Instead

Sometimes, replacing your phone makes more sense. Here are a few examples:

• The repair cost is nearly as high as buying a new phone
• Your device is very old and no longer receives software updates
• You want newer features like a better camera or 5G support

Even in these cases, we recommend getting a diagnosis first so you know all your options before spending on a new device.
