Cracked Phone Screen or Back Glass: Trade-In Eligibility Explained
Cracked Phone Screen or Back Glass: Trade-In Eligibility Explained
A crack is not simply a cosmetic label. The location, sharpness, water exposure risk, effect on touch or cameras, and likely repair cost all influence whether a used phone can be considered.
Understand the difference between cracks
A hairline crack on the rear and a shattered touchscreen have different implications. Display cracks can interfere with visibility, biometric access and safe handling. Rear cracks near a camera or charging area can complicate repairs, especially if seals are broken.
How to document the problem
When asking Infinite Tech for an assessment, take photographs in good light, list which functions still work and mention water exposure, previous repairs or intermittent faults. Do not conceal damaged areas with thick cases or protective films during inspection.
When repairs are worth considering
A minor repair might be reasonable if the handset is otherwise reliable; other devices can be uneconomical to repair. Never describe acceptance as guaranteed. Ask whether the shop currently handles damaged units and follow its condition-verification policy.
What to ask before travelling
Ask whether the exact model and condition described can be reviewed, and whether the replacement device you want is available. Online enquiries are provisional, and a final offer can be made only after lawful-ownership verification, diagnostics and agreement. Infinite Tech does not publish a fixed top-up value for this exchange.

Frequently asked questions
Is the original box or receipt required?
They are optional and may help with model or ownership checks, but do not replace identification and lawful-ownership verification.
Can I receive a guaranteed value by phone?
No. Actual device inspection is necessary. Ask the team to confirm which services are presently available.
