The mobile phone is usable and does not need to be replaced

There is no mobile phone that interests me, as long as my own mobile phone works-this is my pragmatic concept of consumption.

Although life cannot be separated from the mobile phone, it is just a tool. Paying bills, punching cards, browsing the news when you are bored, and occasionally contacting family and friends-these are probably the only usage scenarios for me. I don’t watch videos, play games, and rarely take pictures. The selling points of new mobile phones can’t hit me. In addition, there have been no breakthrough innovations in mobile phone technology in recent years, which is even more unattractive.

I have used my current mobile phone for more than four years, and the hardware is already behind the times, but it is enough for me – Lineage system, Magisk’s ROOT environment and Firefox browser, as long as these three are running stably. After bare metal use, the appearance has a new look.

It’s strange to say that since I didn’t use the phone film and case, I started to drop my phone frequently. After countless falls, the screen finally cracked a crack, and then at noon, the phone slipped out of the pocket again, and the screen was completely damaged. The biggest impact is that you can’t clock in after get off work.

Browsing around JD.com, I really don’t have a mobile phone I want to buy. The habit of using the Lineage system and ROOT also increases the replacement cost virtually. After weighing, changing the screen is the best choice.

I found a small shop on the side of the road. I didn’t expect that there was an old mobile phone screen like mine that I could replace. The only downside is that you can’t use fingerprints.

However, less than a month after the screen was replaced, I broke it again. It was during the May Day holiday, and the store was closed last time. I asked several other stores that there were no screens, so I decided to buy a screen from Taobao. Do it yourself.

For about two or three days, I didn’t have a mobile phone to play with. During this period, I went out to ride a bicycle in a long distance, and my lunch was paid by the riders. After receiving the screen, I began to disassemble the phone. I removed the screen without unscrewing a screw, and the old screen was broken. The new screen has no volume and power-on buttons, so I can only disassemble the old screen and reuse it, but I can’t dismantle it or install it anyway. The phone is on the verge of being scrapped.

It’s convenient to go to the store and buy a phone, but I don’t want to compromise just yet. As a dead horse, I packed up all the parts and went to a mobile phone repair shop on the street. The little brother charged 30 yuan and spent more than half an hour to help me install it. My mobile phone has experienced another disaster in this way.

I bought a screen with a film attached to it. This time I stuck it on obediently, and then experienced many crashes. Thanks to the film, the phone escaped the disaster of a broken screen. I think if it falls again, it will be completely scrapped.

When this mobile phone can be used, and whether it will wait for the next technological innovation, let time tell.
