Phone screen replacement in Vilnius: how is it different from glass replacement?

There are two types of phone screen repair: full screen or touchscreen replacement. The type of repair is selected by the master, taking into account the nature of the damage and the model of the smartphone.

Replacing the phone's glass will cost much less than a complete screen replacement , but this work should only be done by a qualified technician, as the components are fragile and require the use of a specialized device that allows you to "cut" the damaged glass in order to install a new one. The absolute advantage of glass replacement is the repair price - it is usually 50% lower than replacing the phone screen

Characteristics of touch glass and smartphone screen

After breaking the screen of their smartphone, most people come across concepts like screen, matrix and touch glass. All of them are related to the display of visual information and the control function of the gadget, but each of them has its own characteristics:

The matrix is ​​the element of the screen responsible for the formation of the image. Its properties directly affect image clarity, contrast and saturation;

Touch glass is a special screen protector that transmits an impulse from the user's touch to control the functions of the smartphone. However, do not confuse the touch glass with the adhesive protective glass - the latter is installed on top of the screen and has only a protective function;

The screen is the main component of the smartphone, which is responsible for displaying visual information and controlling the functions of the phone by touch. Basically, the display is an assembled display module consisting of a touch glass, a touch screen and a matrix.

All of the above phone components fail quite often due to mechanical damage or excessive pressure on the surface of the device's case. Therefore, it is not surprising that today screen and touch glass replacement services are in high demand both in Vilnius and throughout Lithuania.

When should the phone screen be replaced, and when can only the glass be replaced?

Since the screen and touch glass are separate components, they can be replaced separately. The main condition is that the screen repair performed corresponds to the nature of the damage.

Phone screen replacement - necessary if all components of the screen module (glass, touch screen and matrix) have been damaged.

Replacement of the touch glass - is carried out in the event that only the top layer of the screen was damaged, and the touch screen itself with the matrix remained intact.

As the practice of our telephone rules in Vilnius shows, it is the glass that absorbs most of the external mechanical shocks. It is located on the front side of the screen, so it often does not withstand the load and breaks. At the same time, the touch screen with the matrix still works normally.

If your phone's glass has been damaged, you're in luck - because it will cost much less to replace than to replace the screen. However, if the entire module has been damaged, it is a critical damage, after which you need to replace the entire expensive screen of your smartphone.

Can I replace the touch glass myself?

Due to the high fragility and complexity of installing the upper glass, the replacement is carried out with a special device or using freezing technology, it is not recommended to replace it yourself. It is very likely that such a repair will damage the display components. Changing the screen should only be done by professionals who are well versed in the scheme of a specific smartphone model using modern equipment.
