Screen broken on phone, Ulefone Gemini. Choices:

Buy a replacement screen for about £25 and try to fit it.

Buy the same model used phone.

Buy a replacement China phone of similar size/spec., less than £100 (which?).

Any recommendations?

Edit: Aha. China-prices.com looks useful.

Use some independent thought, and make your own mind up, it can't be that difficult surely

If you've got the money, buy the screen and have a go at fixing it with the assumption that it's fucked anyway... if you can't fix it then buy another phone.

My cunning plan is to:

1) Buy a new phone and use this cracked one or my mum's old Dorophone (!) until it comes.
2) Use the new phone when it comes.
3) Keep looking for a broken Ulefone Gemini and cannibalise it, OR a cheap replacement screen, and fix the fsck'd one (I've already replaced the charging socket/board).

I have purchases an UMIDIGI* A3 Pro for £80 delivered. Fingers crossed.

* No, I'd never heard of them either.
