A moment of carelessness can cause your phone to slip from your hand and fall, followed by that all-too-familiar cracking sound... A broken phone screen is one of the most common hardware problems we encounter. But how sensible is it to continue using a phone with a broken screen?
Risks of Continuing to Use a Broken Screen
Many users continue using their phones as long as the touchscreen still works. However, this involves serious risks:
- Broken Glass: Tiny glass fragments from the screen can cut your fingers or fall into your pocket.
- Risk from Liquids and Dust: A broken or cracked screen completely eliminates the phone’s protection against liquids and dust (its IP rating). Even the smallest raindrop or perspiration can reach the motherboard and render the device completely unusable.
- Damage to the Internal Display (LCD/OLED): Even if only the front glass is broken, pressure applied to the screen can eventually damage the display panel underneath, causing black spots or green lines to appear.
Should You Replace the Front Glass or the Entire Screen?
In modern smartphones, the front glass, touch panel, and display panel are generally laminated together during manufacturing. If there are no problems with the display or touchscreen, it may be possible to replace only the front glass. However, replacing the complete panel is the healthiest and most long-lasting method. This helps preserve colour vibrancy and touchscreen sensitivity as they were on the first day.
