But if you’re looking for an excuse to upgrade (“Sorry honey, I have to get a new phone because my phone won’t charge anymore. We can defer insulin purchases for 24 months, right?), this phone should work. And if you have a problem… With your spouse, just show him/her this article.

When you think about it, losing the speakers on your phone is no easier than losing the touch screen. No sound, no calls. No music or mobile games. Not good.

The next three reasons why a phone is broken, which each take 7% of the total, include a battery that drains too quickly, a camera that doesn’t work, and the inability to connect to Wi-Fi.
