Just wanted to say that I shattered my Pixel 6a's screen a few days ago. I didn't have a case.
:'(
Will you be getting it repaired? Do you know how much it might be?
The 6a replacement screen is damn near the price of another used phone. I'm with the other poster, I ended up just getting another used phone, a Moto Razr+ 2023 fold. Unfortunately, no custom ROMs for it that I've found.
So I'm a farmer and the unholy things that my phone get subjected to makes it hard to find something that's strong yet useful. I've either been lucky or this phone is exactly right for my lifestyle. It folds up small enough that it doesn't get bent in my pocket or fall out. I'm a little worried about the outer screen but I've dropped the phone closed a couple times on gravel, no damage. And I think it closes up small enough that it might survive a trip up the grain auger, which is what got one of my phones a couple years ago. I haven't had a phone survive so long undamaged yet. And I just have a pretty minimal case on it, no hinge protection.
Now that I say that, I'll break the screen tomorrow, I imagine.
From what I found online, just buying the replacement screen will cost upwards of 150$. I bought the phone for 300$, so I'm not very motivated 😅
