Your phone fell and now has cracks or spots! Is the screen broken or just the glass? Before worrying, learn how to identify if only the protective glass is damaged or if the LCD or touch screen is affected. In this guide, we explain it step by step.
🔍 Differences Between Glass, Touchscreen, and LCD Display
- Outer glass: protects the screen. If it’s broken but everything works fine, it’s just the glass. Touch and image are not affected.
- Touchscreen (digitizer): detects finger movements. If it doesn't respond but the image looks fine, this layer is failing.
- LCD / AMOLED display: shows images and colors. If you see spots, black areas, lines or distortions, it’s damaged.
✅ Signs That Only the Glass Is Broken
- ✅ You can use the phone normally
- ✅ The image looks fine, no spots or issues
- ✅ The screen responds to touch perfectly
- ✅ Cracks are only on the outer layer
📌 In this case, you can replace just the glass (if available for your model), although many replacements are sold as full modules.
At MovilStore, we offer screens and glass for all models.
❌ Signs That the LCD or Touchscreen Is Damaged
- ❌ Doesn’t respond to touch or responds incorrectly
- ❌ Black spots, lines or areas without image
- ❌ Image flickers, distorts or doesn’t appear
- ❌ Phone powers on but the screen stays black
⚡ In this case, you need to replace the entire module: screen + touch + glass.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace just the glass?
Only if your model allows it. Many have fused glass and touch, so the whole assembly must be changed.
Can I keep using the phone with a cracked glass?
Yes, but it’s not recommended. It can damage the internal screen or cause cuts. Better to repair it soon.

😊 Yes, we’ll assist you via WhatsApp to pick the right piece.
