Don't damage your screen. Learn how to take better care of your device to avoid problems.
With cell phones becoming increasingly common in everyday life and in the hands of most people, it is very difficult to find someone who has never dropped their phone. According to a survey conducted by the manufacturer Motorola, almost half (48%) of the Brazilians surveyed have had a device with a broken screen. The data was collected from 6,000 users in 6 countries. Carelessness is the main cause of damage in Brazil. 51% of the interviewees said they dropped their phone and 32% of them did not realize that the phone was next to them when they stood up. Another 24% saw their smartphones fall out of their pockets and onto the floor. Most importantly, drops cause the screen to lose its integrity.
Broken glass and non-touchscreens are incompatible with proper use. This ends up causing a lot of headaches for those who use their smartphones to do everything from grocery shopping to work. In addition, some repairs can cost half the price of the device. Even the newest models, with technology to produce thinner and more durable screens, cannot escape this fate. Factors such as the type of ground, angle and speed of impact can play a crucial role in the life of your cell phone. In this context, learn what to do to save your smartphone or prevent the worst.
Insurance contract
Insurance can be very useful and beneficial in case of screen damage, theft or robbery. Just like life or auto coverage, coverage depends on the policy issued. With a reasonable insurance premium, you can get coverage for the screen or the value of repairs. Some companies are investing in technology to make the billing process faster and more intuitive. As a result, 90% of claims are processed within a day and customers are continually notified about each step of the process.
That's why it's important to do your research, compare prices and benefits, and familiarize yourself with the information in your policy. Smartphone insurance prevents consumers from having to deal with unexpected situations on their own.
Technical assistant
Now, if the damage has already been done and the user does not have insurance, it is recommended to seek technical support from the smartphone manufacturer. In addition to original parts, the procedures for installing the device are standard. However, prices are usually high and the repair time is also high.
Replacing the glass or display
Before sending it to the service center, check what the damage was. There are differences between glass problems and on the cell phone screen. Sometimes the entire display is replaced, even if the problem is only with the glass. This means that you end up paying more for a service that was not necessary. Generally, when there are cracks on the screen, but the touch is working fine, the damage is in the glass that protects the screen.
Extra protection
Shockproof cases and protective films are available to prioritize the preservation of the integrity of the device and the screen, and can be made of gel or glass. The first material is more durable, but more expensive. In other words, glass is cheaper, but less durable.
