My phone looks like it’s in it’s last stages before dying and I’ll be moving to Japan soon so I was wondering if I should buy one now or maybe wait till I get to Japan/until my phone actually dies

**Are electronics cheaper to buy in Japan or in the UK**

buy one when you get here. That way you can get one that supports osaifu ketai (will save you headaches when trying to integrate with certain services)
If you know specifically what you want you can have a look on Kakaku to get an idea of how much it costs here – [https://kakaku.com/](https://kakaku.com/)
If you’re specifically looking at Android phones its probably better to get one here just to make sure you’ve got the domestic wallet support. It’s less of an issue if you’re looking at iPhone though.
Id say buy one in japan
Just check the price of the phone online and compare?
