One small 'defect' in a smartphone can seriously harm its owner.

Experts in mobile device repair warn that using smartphones with a damaged screen is dangerous.

According to research among mobile phone owners, many people ignore cracks on the screen, which can have serious consequences.

'It is categorically not recommended to use a phone with a damaged screen glass,' warn specialists from service centers. Microscopic cracks can injure the user and permanently damage the device.

The main threats are the potential for injury from sharp glass edges and vision problems due to degrading image quality. Additionally, a damaged screen increases radiation levels, which can negatively affect the user's health.

Technical experts emphasize the risk of immediate device failure due to moisture and dust entering the body. 'Even the smallest drop of water can cause corrosion of internal components and completely disable the phone,' explain specialists.

In case of screen damage, experts recommend taking temporary measures: applying a protective film or glass, avoiding contact with moisture, and creating a backup of data. However, this cannot replace professional repair.

Experts stress that delaying the replacement of a damaged screen can lead to serious consequences, including the need to purchase a new device. Therefore, it is advisable to contact service centers immediately after noticing screen damage on a smartphone.
