It's not worth repairing phones (slrpnk.net)

Repaired my phone 6 months ago, then it broke again. Repaired it again yesterday, then it broke again next day, so they repaired it again today.

Cost like 160g grand total, could have just bought another phone for that price

depends on where u r living. for exemple living in canada or us should be affordable since china is just around the corner and it doesn't cost a leg to source genuine parts. also u can ship ur phone to famous fixers like Northridge fix or Louis Rossmann to fix it for you. Phone techs are stupid where i live and china is far af (that also implies refurbished phones aren't that common), so buying a new phone is a logical way in this case.
