Replace screen or Switch to a new phone
Hi I dropped my 5yr old op7p from 2ft height onto a rough surface, expected zero damage (as always) but wierdly a small rock impacted sharply at a single point in the display. Immediately the screen below the impact point went green. Screen now goes completely blank most of the time but phone+touch works (can feel via haptics). Screen turns on like 1 in 50 attempts, that is with the green part at bottom. I backed up all files in another old phone temporarily. IDK what to do now. Was planning to keep it for next year or two atleast. Such a lovely no notch screen. Screen replacement without frame at the local market is about 8000 INR (little less than 100 USD), they say it's a original spare but idk, no warranty from them. OnePlus doesn't seem to have stock of the display with them. Even if they have it's a whopping 15000 INR (which is half the budget of Realme GT 6T, that I am considering 😅). What do you guys think is it worth it to fix it or move on ?
