NOTE 3: camera lens or camera broke/cracked

Note 3 camera cracked against something no insurance (crazy thing i was going to get the insurance added the next day thru att open insurance enrollment) used so no kind of warranty

The lens cracked like a circle so the camera is exposed no kind of glass in the way of the actual camera but when taking photos or recording it's blurry and no longer focuses

I'm trying to figure out if this is because of the lens being cracked and no longer covering the camera like needing the lens over it to focus or because glass must of scratched and ruined the camera

the camera on the back when recording or taking pics comes out blurry most of the time and sometimes not and also not able to focus when i try to manual focus it shows yellow and redboxes or sometimes green but doesn't focus at all. Also if it is the camera where could i replace that and how much no shops where i live only the att store and thats a arm and leg..
I WANT TO UPLOAD PICTURE BUTAT WORK WHERE I CAN'T RIGHT NOW
your responses are appreciated

Re: NOTE 3: camera lens or camera broke/cracked

It's really difficult to diagnose something like this without actually seeing the device, but my guess is it could be the lens that got damaged by the impact. Maybe you can't see it, but it might be loose or something inside. In theory it shouldn't need the protective glass since that's not a lens, which is why I may think that, if your actual lens is not cracked, something in the focus mechanism (the one that actually moves the lens back and forth) might be damaged.
