Top 5 Most Replaced Mobile Phone Parts in 2025

Smartphones are more advanced than ever, yet they remain vulnerable to everyday wear and tear. Whether you run a repair shop or are involved in parts wholesale, knowing which components fail most often helps you stay stocked, prepared, and profitable.

At SunGoode, we support hundreds of repair businesses across Europe and continuously track the demand for high-replacement parts. Based on 2025 repair trends, here are the top five most replaced phone components and why they matter.

—

1. Phone Screens
Still ranked #1—and no surprise. Cracked, unresponsive, or damaged LCD/OLED screens account for over half of all smartphone repair orders.

Common Issues:

· Cracks from accidental drops
· Dead pixels or touch response failure
· Screen flickering or no display

Popular Replacements:
iPhone 14/15 series, Samsung Galaxy A/S series, Xiaomi POCO series

Pro Tip: Stock both OEM-quality screens and high-grade compatible alternatives to meet different customer budgets.

2. Smartphone Batteries
Batteries degrade over time. As phone usage cycles lengthen in 2025, battery replacement is becoming more common than ever.

Signs it’s time for a replacement:

· Rapid battery drain
· Sudden shutdowns
· Swelling or overheating

Service Suggestion: Offer battery health checks alongside replacement services—a combination customers highly appreciate.

—

3. Charging Ports & Flex Cables
The charging port is one of the most frequently used—and easily damaged—parts on any phone. Over time, wear, debris, or oxidation can lead to poor connection or complete failure.

Common Symptoms:

· Phone only charges when the cable is held at a certain angle
· Accumulated debris or corrosion
· Slow or intermittent charging

Note: During repairs, charging flex cables and microphone cables are often found to be damaged together.

4. Camera Modules (Front & Rear)
In the age of selfies and short videos, a functional camera is essential. When front or rear cameras fail, customers want them repaired quickly.

Typical Problems:

· Camera app fails to launch
· Blurry or dark images
· Issues with flash, focus, or zoom

Stock Recommendation: Keep camera modules and protective lens glass for popular models like iPhone XR/12/14 and Samsung Galaxy A/S series.

—

5. Back Covers & Frames
With the rise of glass backs and integrated wireless charging coils, back cover replacement demand is growing. Even minor damage can make a phone look aged and reduce its resale value.

Common Repair Requests:

· Cracked or shattered glass back
· Cosmetic refresh requests
· Wireless charging failure

Efficiency Tip: Consider stocking complete back covers with pre-applied adhesive for faster, more reliable repairs.

—

Bonus: High-Demand Accessories
While not internal parts, accessories such as:

· Tempered glass screen protectors
· Fast-charging cables
· Protective cases
can be offered as value-added items to enhance customer satisfaction and increase profit margins. Consider creating repair + accessory bundles or special discounts.
