Part1. About A Samsung Galaxy Note 6 with Broken Screen

The Samsung Galaxy Note 6 boasts of a sharp display with its large 5.8-inch screen. Its screen is made with Gorilla Screen, a thin yet damage-resistant glass. Its surface is tough against cracks and at the same time, sensitive to users’ taps. Despite the screen’s strength and integrity, it goes without saying that it is still prone to breakage. A simple drop from a certain height can lead to a cracked screen.

Although the smartphone’s exterior is broken, that doesn’t hold true for its interior. It is often misinterpreted that a broken screen automatically renders a gadget useless. After all, a broken screen usually translates to an unresponsive touchscreen. This will keep you from unlocking your phone or navigating your apps. However, as long as you can still power on your device, your phone is still functioning. You can still make use of what’s inside: your data. What you need to do is to get to your files without tapping on your device.
