You want to keep your phone looking new and working well, but accidents can happen. A case can protect your phone from bumps and drops, but what about your screen? Is a screen protector worth buying? Let’s look at some facts about phone screens and how they can get damaged.
Modern phone screens are made of glass that is fused to the display, so you can’t replace just the glass if it cracks. You have to replace the whole screen, which can be very expensive. That’s why many people don’t bother fixing their cracked screens and just live with them. But how likely are you to crack your screen in the first place? Well, that depends on how you use your phone and how careful you are with it.
Phone makers test their phones to make sure they can survive some rough handling, like dropping them from different heights or angles. Linus Tech Tips visited a phone factory and saw how they do these tests. They found out that most phones are designed to withstand a lot of abuse and still work fine.
