Technology, with an Australian perspective

Mobile

Make better decisions about phones, upgrades and connectivity.

A phone battery sits at the centre of checks for updates, storage, repair cost and replacement cost.

Phone upgrade checklist: repair or replace?

Check battery health, support, storage and everyday frustrations before buying your next phone.

Mobile covers the choices that follow you throughout the day: phones, software updates, connectivity and the information stored on a device. ULKA explains compatibility and support so you can judge whether an upgrade will solve a real problem. We pay attention to Australian availability where it changes the decision. Start by checking the condition and support of your current phone before comparing a replacement’s cameras, storage and subscription costs.

A repair quote and a confirmed support end date can change the decision more than a newer model’s headline feature.
