A cracked screen is more than a cosmetic issue. Once the glass is compromised, dust and moisture can reach the display layers underneath, leading to dead pixels, discoloration, or touch sensitivity problems.

Warning signs to watch for include spreading cracks, dark spots, unresponsive touch areas, or flickering. If you notice any of these, it is best to have a technician inspect the phone before the damage spreads to internal components.

Most screen replacements take under an hour and restore the phone to its original condition, including full touch sensitivity and color accuracy.
