If we have the misfortune that the screen of our terminal breaks and we do not have insurance that can cover us to replace it, depending on which model it is, we can start thinking about changing the terminal, since the price that we can pay in the official technical service can be practically half of what it costs new.
There is always the most economical solution, a solution that goes through go to an unofficial repair center and that they replace the screen with an unofficial one, a screen that never, I repeat: never, will offer us the same features of the original screen. The difference in price between the official technical service and a neighborhood store is not only in the workmanship, but in the component itself.
How much does it cost to change the screen of a smartphone
Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),
To get an idea, the screen of our iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro costs 311 euros in the official Apple technical service. If we have hired AppleCare + (Starting from 149 euros for any iPhone), Apple's extended warranty service that also covers this type of accident, would only cost us 29 euros for screen breaks and 99 euros for other repairs.
As we can see, it is clearly worth taking out this insurance, especially if we use cases that do not increase the thickness of the device much or if we like to live strong emotions and we carry our iPhone without any protection.
Samsung
In the case of Samsung, although the prices are somewhat cheaper, it is still a significant amount of money if we have the misfortune of breaking the screen of our smartphone. Replace the screen of the Galaxy S20, depending on the model, we have to pay between 220 euros and 280 eurosPrices very similar to those offered by the Galaxy Note 20 range.
If we talk about cheaper terminals, the price range is between 80 and 100 euros for the Galaxy A and Galaxy M range. Samsung also offers us the insurance Samsung Care +, an insurance that thanks to the initial single payment, which varies depending on the device, we would have to pay another 59 euros for any repair whether screen breakage or any other problem.
How to do the broken screen prank
Taking into account the price it costs to repair the screen of mobile phones, especially high-end mobile phones (in the mid-range the cost of replacing the screen is at a maximum of 100 euros), if we like to make jokes and we want to scare our friend, partner or family member, we can do the broken screen prank.
In order to make this joke, we need to have enough trust with the person we want to play the joke on, since we must have access to their smartphone to install any of the applications that offer us this evil (because we cannot consider it functionality).
Another option is to send the image through a messaging application, but it is not as functional, since all messaging applications show a preview of the thumbnail image, so the recipient can quickly get an idea of our intentions.
Broken screen apps for Android
As usual in the Play Store we will find a large number of applications that allow us to play the broken screen joke.
Broken screen
One of the most downloaded applications on Android that allow us to simulate the breaking of the screen of our smartphones is Screen Break, an application that we can download completely free and that also adds sound and different effects when we execute it.
This application works on our smartphone, that is, once we have run it, it will show us how the screen has broken "for real", since any application that we open will be shown with the same screen break. To eliminate this effect, we just have to remove the notification from the application.
Broken screen realistic effect
Another application that offers us a similar operation to the previous application, showing the break effect on all applications that are executed is Realistic Effect Broken Screen, an application that offers us 3 ways to start the effect and offers us very surprising results.
This application, like the previous one, is available for your download for free and includes advertising.
Broken screen
Without a doubt this is one of the best applications, since allows us to program when we want the application to start working as you can see in the video above. The application is available for download completely free of charge and includes ads.
Broken screen apps for iPhone
The number of applications that simulate the broken screen of our iPhone or iPad it is very small beyond the applications that offer us personalized wallpapers that show us broken glass.
Fake Scratch or Crack Your Screen
Another of the applications of this type that we have available in the App Store is Fake Scratch, an application that allows us to add screen tearing effects to any image plus other effects.
Thanks to this application, which we can download for free and includes in-app purchases, we can take a screenshot of the home screen of our friend's iPhone, add the breakage effects and return the smartphone to him so that when he unlocks it the life scare sticks.
