Many Android phones are more durable than the iPhone, but that does not mean they are immune to damage. the screens are made of glass, and of course, when the glass falls breaks.
If you have dropped your Android phone now for the umpteenth time, possibly you have a beautiful web running through your screen. If you do not have insurance to pay every month, here are some options to fix that screen.
contact the manufacturer
If your Android device is relatively new and still has the manufacturer’s warranty, the first place you should contact is the manufacturer. the price to fix the broken screen depends on the device. Fix screen Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, for example, could cost up to US $ 270 plus one or two days without being able to use your phone. If you go to the manufacturer, it would be more expensive to use a repair shop of a third party, but not void your warranty and you cell would be fully restored, possibly even being replaced by a fully restored unit, recovering the appearance it had before the incident. In addition, phones like the Galaxy S7 Edge maintain its waterproof nature.
The owners of a Samsung device should consider buying the Samsung Protection Plus warranty – which is like Apple Care, but for Galaxy phones. The Samsung Protection Plus is an extended warranty available for all cell high-end and covers everything from mechanical problems to accidental damage (eg a broken screen). Costs between $ 99 and US $ 120 for a protection of two years, and during those years you are entitled to make two claims for damages each year, paying a deductible of US $ 79 per incident. Replace a broken a Galaxy S7 screen will cost US $ 208.
Find someone else will fix it
If your Android device it is old, ie, no longer under warranty, or a less popular model, you may save you money if you take it to a shop not affiliated with the manufacturer to get it fixed.
I called some stores in Los Angeles and got estimated between US $ 100 to US $ 250 to replace the screen of a Samsung Galaxy S5?
There are some benefits -. addition to the price – to use the repair service a third party. If you go to a local repair shop, they could fix your cell quickly (eg in less than an hour and one of the shops in Los Angeles even offered to come to my house to repair it). This means you will not be without a phone for long. Also, many repair shops others offer a warranty on the parts they replace, which means you can re-call to fix your screen if for any reason stops working (unless if your fault broke again).
Eye, not all repair shops third parties are the same, then you have to ensure them these questions before handing over your device:
- How much will it cost
- How long will the repair?
- What kind of warranty do you offer? (Parts and service only? Limited or lifetime?)
Using a third party service for repair broken screen void manufacturer’s warranty then if your phone is new, it is best to first try to get the estimated manufacturer. Some of the new phones, like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, are very difficult to repair, so maybe you find that the manufacturer offers a better price than any offer from a third party.
Leave it as it is
Assuming the rotating your device screen does not interfere drastically with your ability to use the phone or make your fingers bleed, you might decide to stay with the phone in his condition until he could buy a new one.
That said, for it will last as long as possible, I suggest you buy a strong cover and shockproof because any fall will cause more damage. If the crack on the screen through an area that you usually use a lot, you should consider buy a screen protector to protect your fingers from cuts, and of course, protect the screen from further damage.
