Should I replace the glass, the digitalizer, or the whole phone?

I cracked the glass on my S8 edge forever ago…it was pretty bad but it was tolerable I could still see everything…it got dropped or fell a few more time, the last time this happend it got a much deeper crack and the screen doesnt work. 75% of the screen is white and I can't see anything for the most part however the screen still responds to my touch. The phone still totally works when I touch the screen, it can still run whatever program I open but I can't see anything. I went to my local repair shop and it was going to be much more expensive than I thought. I'm not sure if I should replace the glass or the whole setup….any advice?

You’ll have to replace the whole display. Replacing the glass would do nothing for your image. The amoled panel is broken. Also, most repair shops quote for a whole display regardless if the amoled panel is working or not because it is almost impossible to replace the glass on Samsung curved displays.
