Screens on mobile devices are commonly made of glass, which can break and require replacement of the entire display.
Cracked glass should be covered with tape for safe use and backup.
Charging issues can arise from dirty connectors, damaged cables, or insufficient voltage.
Signal strength on mobile networks varies significantly depending on location, with cellular networks providing larger coverage areas than Wi-Fi networks.
Interference from other Wi-Fi networks or devices on the same frequency can negatively impact performance.
Liquid damage is a common cause of mobile device damage, and it's not covered under the warranty.
