I have a smartphone that I like it, its screen wasn't dropped or broken, but its screen bulges and the light leaks from sides. I'd like to know
1. Could I get electric shock or hurt if I have a wet hand with this phones because its four sides are open to air... while water or moisture could get through it

Is the battery bulging make the screen like that?

I would be more concerned of that detail as best I understand screens dont bulge on their own.
-
But the fact is light leaks from two sides (right and left), upper and lower side is fine
What is this? Simply battery issue? If it's that, I 'll replace the battery -

The battery is bulging because of a buildup of gas from chemical reactions. Replace the battery ASAP if you can, if not get a replacement phone.

Look up a teardown guide for your specific smartphone model. You're probably going to need a pry tool if you don't have one already. With any luck, you won't need to apply any heat to remove the rear panel. You're going to want to unplug and gently remove the swollen battery ASAP. Only after you've done that, without cracking the display, and verified that no other parts have been been bent and need replacing is it worth ordering a replacement battery. -
Thanks and yes the screen was tested to be fine, the battery bulged, but I threw it then because there was no replacement battery, manufacture of that model has been discontinued.
screen bulges, should I keep using this phone?
