Dropped s8 - battery and camera issues

Hi,

I dropped my s8 from about 3 feet (it had a case). It now has a hairline crack, which I can tolerate, however the phone now heats up drastically, the battery drains really quickly and the camera app only shows a black screen with 'camera failed'. 

 

Has anyone had this? It was such a short fall, however I guess the glass screen is fragile and must be linked to the battery. I'm just not sure why the camera is failing.

 

Thanks

It's very possible the drop has resulted in internal damage which can happen even at such short distances depending on the angle it hit the floor.  

 

A Samsung Experience Store or Samsung Service Centre can take a look but as their 24 Month Manufacturing Warranty does not cover accidental damage there could be a charge.

 

That or check any Household Contents Insurance and or some Bank Accounts provide mobile phone cover as a perk of the account.

 

T&C's and Excess Fees would apply.

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.
