Your smartphone is an investment in technology and convenience. You can have a conversation with someone, chat online, take pictures, find out what the weather will be tomorrow, play games, do your banking, follow fitness goals, use GPS to find an address, and so much more with one single gadget. Understandably, getting all of these services from one pocket-sized piece of equipment comes at a price. So, obviously, the main reason you should keep your smartphone in good condition is so you won’t need to worry about the expense of replacing your phone if something ever happens to it. A second reason to keep your smartphone in good condition is that you probably will eventually want to upgrade to a newer model. Keeping your phone in good condition keeps its value higher—whether you plan to trade it in or sell it. As newer models of phones continue to hit the market, their price tags have risen with them to keep up with the enhancements and upgrades that are being introduced (like new camera features to provide you with better quality photos and editing techniques). A phone that’s in good condition will get you a better resale price that you can put toward the cost of your upgrade.
A few things you can do to keep your phone looking good and working hard are to protect the screen and body of the phone from scratches and moisture, and take measures to maintain your phone’s battery health. To protect your phone’s screen and body, it’s a good idea to invest in protective case that not only absorbs shock in the event that the phone accidentally falls out of your hand, pocket, or purse, it’ll also protect the buttons and ports from any unwanted moisture in the event the phone gets spilled on or is dropped in water. You’d be surprised how many people have reported they dropped their phone in the toilet when trying to use it in the bathroom. To maintain you’re the phone’s battery life, you can do a number of different things, including keeping your phone out of harsh temperatures (generally in the range between 32 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit), use energy-saving modes offered in your phone’s “Settings” menu, and using the charging equipment specifically required for your phone. If a problem ever does arise with your smartphone, you can always send it back to the manufacturer for repair. This is often a less expensive option versus buying a new phone. However, if you would rather not be without your phone for the length of time it would take to ship it back to the manufacturer, there are several independent stores that are conveniently located and offer cell phone repair. These stores are quite reliable at getting repairs done quickly (often providing same-day service) and competitive pricing.
