While there have been some efforts to make smartphones more repairable in recent years, the situation hasn&#8217;t meaningfully improved. So, if you&#8217;re someone who likes to spend their money on sustainable technology, it can be tricky to find a smartphone with a good repairability score, as some of the biggest players in this industry have a poor track record. According to the &#8220;Failing the Fix 2026&#8221; study published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) Education Fund, Samsung, which is the biggest Android phone brand in the U.S., scores pretty low in repairability.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. PIRG is a non-profit consumer advocacy organization, which is helped by the U.S. PIRG Education Fund with research and public education. While Samsung isn&#8217;t the worst among all major smartphone brands, as that title goes to Apple, it ranks the lowest among Android smartphone makers. So, if you want a reasonably repairable smartphone, it&#8217;s best to avoid Samsung, which will certainly be hard, as the company offers some of the most popular and well-rated Android phones and is considered the\u00a0best major Android phone brand in terms of customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Samsung gets the worst repairability grade, Motorola the best<\/h2>\n<p>                           &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2159360\/android-smartphone-brand-avoid-repairability-samsung\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Experts Recommend Avoiding This Android Smartphone Brand If You Want Easy Repairs https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2159360\/android-smartphone-brand-avoid-repairability-samsung\/ Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":239135,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/img\/gallery\/experts-recommend-avoiding-this-android-smartphone-brand-if-you-want-easy-repairs\/l-intro-1777392641.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[116,86],"class_list":["post-239134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-motorola","tag-samsung"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239134"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239134"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239134\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":239136,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239134\/revisions\/239136"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/239135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=239134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=239134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
