If your mobile screen is cracked, you might be asking yourself:
“Should I just replace the glass or the entire display?”
“How can I determine what needs to be replaced?”
“What is the cost difference between changing the glass and replacing the full display?”
Let’s address all your questions 👇
Understanding the Difference Between Glass and Display Replacement
When dealing with a cracked screen, it's crucial to understand what you're facing. Here’s a breakdown:
| Term | Definition | Cost |
|-------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------|
| Front Glass Only | Only the outer glass is damaged, but the touch and display function properly | ✅ Less Expensive |
| Full Display | Both the glass, touch, and display (OLED/LCD) are damaged | 💸 More Expensive |
How to Determine if You Need a Full Display or Just Glass
To make an informed decision, check the following:
Is everything visible clearly?
✅ Yes – Only the glass is damaged
❌ No (black lines, spots, display issues) – Full display replacement needed
Is the touch function working normally?
✅ Yes – Only the glass needs replacement
❌ No – Touch IC or full display replacement needed
Does the phone turn on properly?
✅ Yes – Likely just a glass issue
❌ No – Possible display or board issue
