Four common questions at the counter and what to do about each.
Two Androids from different brands almost never use the same screen or battery. That is why the price depends on the exact model.
In Settings, About phone, you will find the model name. Send that name on WhatsApp.
Touch may still work normally, but the crack gets worse over time and can cut your finger. The sooner you replace it, the lower the risk.
Usually a sign of internal screen damage. Read the guide on cracked screen: can I keep using it?
Take off the case and SIM and bring it in right away. Charging a wet phone can burn the board.
What saves the phone is quick chemical cleaning, especially after sea water.
Back cover lifting or screen coming loose: stop using and charging it. See the guide on swollen battery.

I love this store, and Matheus's service definitely makes all the difference. He deserves the best rating possible! I recommend the store with my eyes closed and I will happily buy here again. Score: 10000.
Mykael looked after me really well, proactive and attentive. He installed my camera protector and helped me choose a case with care. It was an iPhone 17 Pro Max. Congratulations to the store!
Celio De Melo MatosGoogle review, Feb 2026Efficient service on WhatsApp from Mykael and in the store from Josué. Excellent service! I took my phone in to replace the charging connector, but the technician checked it and, after a cleaning, found that the replacement was not necessary. The store did not charge for the cleaning either. Transparent, honest service and quality work. I recommend Help Cell!
