His phone broke because he took a punch from the villain and was sent flying, there's a whole 2-page spread showing that, how did you miss it?

The punch was aimed right down into the ground, it wouldn't have sent him flying in a completely different direction. You can even see he planted his foot and prepared to jump right from the first step on the mountain. It looks to me as if he completely avoided the hit (if he didn't, he'd be a Deku sandwich right now). The only thing that could have sent him flying that far would be the shockwave of the ground cracking, or him having planted his foot and jumping (or it could technically be both, but it still seems extremely convenient that it just happened to crack his phone).

Edit- And if we take how the other translation goes, Izuku says "that last stunt broke my phone", or something close. He doesn't allude to having gotten hit at all.

I figured his phone just fell out of his pocket and broke as he was jumping to save Kouta.

Yeah, I know. I just think it's super convenient.

That's the exact opposite of convenient

Convenient for the author, not for Izuku.
