front screen cracked, is it still waterproof?

My phone cracked after falling, because of the slippery body. All the buttons are working, still in good condition, it's just that the screen cracked. and my question is, is it still waterproof?

It's hard for me to say. I'd recommend you to send in the phone to a service center to get it repaired. It's easier to fix a cracked screen then a water damaged phone.

I think it would cost half of the price if i wanted it repaired...

Unfortunately the display can be expensive to replace, as it is pretty much half of the phone.

Hey so in my opinion its not as i have a broken back glass to and ita not waterproof, however i dont know is it the back glass or other parts not waterproof. Install a app called "WaterProof" by valentin draganescu this app is trusted because it says my phone isn't waterproof but when i test it on my tablet it says it is waterproof, and it is actually waterproof because its been in water many times, when i open the flaps it says its not. The results aren't random because the test is measured by the pressure sensor. Try that app.

Don't trust those apps only a vacuum test through your local Xperia Care could give you the correct answer, don't risk it.
