Adam Ferguson, Director of Product Marketing at HMD Global:
As consumers increasingly demand more sustainable and durable devices, the ability to easily and affordably repair smartphones will become a key differentiator within the market. We have a CCS Insight report that reflects this, with around half of Western European mobile phone users saying they would like to have their device repaired at a reasonable cost if it breaks outside of the warranty period.
