Even if nothing has changed in the behavior of the phone immediately, there is no guarantee that in the near future, at a crucial moment, problems with the sensor will not arise problems and the user will not be able to receive or send any important message.
Damage to internal elements
Broken display glass exerts mechanical pressure on the smartphone matrix to some extent. In the same way, the micro-motion and other elements of the internal filling of the device begin at the moment of activation of the vibrator.
In the process of further operation, the operation of the processor, batteries and other components fixed on the smartphone board is gradually disrupted.
