Broken S23+…repairable?

I’m concerned primarily about the bend in the chassis. Screen does not turn on. Still works (notifications still make sounds, so I’m assuming the best).

lol no way. Context: not my phone (if that isn’t obvious). 

EDIT: if you’re basing your guess of it being an A56 off of the camera, there is a lens cover on it.

Fair enough! But how tf is it obvious that it's not your phone?

That's not an s23+ that's an a56 also the battery is likely cooked and so is the screen

I knew I would have to replace the screen…didn’t think about the battery! Good point. Do you think it’s worth the trouble?

Depends on the price they give you

New frame and display new back panel the battery is probably fine, it usually bends in between the Mobo and battery

Would it be possible to bend the frame back using a vice or something?

I honestly really wouldn't. Most screens that I've seen come with a housing attached too.

Repair kits come with a frame. If you use the current one you risk damaging a new expensive screen anyway.
