This was a blessing, as it was possible to plug the phone into the computer, and transfer files and back up my files. It was even possible to type (albeit badly) using swipe gestures.Ībout a quarter of the right side of the display was still working normally and everything else in the phone worked fine. Funnily enough, even the dead parts of the screen were 'working' in that the touchscreen was fine, the only issue was that nothing was being displayed. Some internal components were clearly damaged, and the left side of the display started showing a random pattern of colours that vaguely resembled a peacock feather. While the screen itself survived the fall - it's amazing what you can accomplish with Gorilla Glass - the display itself wasn't so lucky.

After years of keeping phones free of scratches despite not using cases, I managed to completely slam the phone into the ground. A few days ago, I did something incredibly stupid - I tripped, and dropped my phone face-first onto a hard tiled floor.
