What Are the 5 Most Replaced Smartphone Components?

13-01-2026 • Reading Time: 3 min

Smartphones are lasting longer than ever, but certain components remain vulnerable. In 2025, repair technicians still saw the same issues recurring in popular models, such as the iPhone 15 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S25. In this blog, you’ll discover which smartphone components are most frequently replaced and which devices they occur on most often.

1. Smartphone Display

Displays are the most fragile component. One drop from a table, out of your hand, or from your pocket can result in a cracked screen or malfunction.

Why does the display break?

Impact from drops and bumps
Edges and corners absorb the brunt of the impact
OLED/LCD damage from pressure points

Tip: Offer your customers a sturdy glass protector and phone case to prevent damage.

Most repaired models (display) in 2025:

2. Smartphone Battery

After a few years of intensive use, many devices experience faster battery degradation. The result? Faster draining, unexpected shutdowns, or performance issues.

Why does a battery wear out?

Limited charge cycles
Heat from intensive use
Frequent fast charging and full charges

Most repaired models (battery):

3. Smartphone Charging Port (USB-C Connector)

If a device doesn’t charge properly or only works at certain angles, the issue often lies in the USB-C port. Frequent plugging and dirt buildup contribute to wear.

Why does the charging port fail?

Water and moisture damage
Dust, lint, and debris buildup
Angled cables and excessive pressure on the port

Most repaired models (charging port):

4. Smartphone Camera (Front & Rear)

Cameras are sensitive to shocks and glass breakage. Minor damage or dust in the lens module can quickly lead to blurry photos or errors.

Why are cameras replaced?

Cracked lens glass
Defective autofocus or sensor issues
Dust or particles under the glass

Tip: Offer your customers a camera glass protector to prevent lens damage.

Most repaired models (camera):

5. Smartphone Speaker & Microphone

Audio problems often develop gradually but can require early replacement if users report issues like “I can’t hear anything” or “people can’t hear me.”

Why do speakers and microphones fail?

Dust and debris buildup
Exposure to water or moisture
Wear from intensive use

Most repaired models (speaker/microphone):
