- 🔹 Perfect color reproduction and brightness - corresponds to factory parameters.
- 🔹 Full compatibility with firmware and sensors (e.g. light sensor).
- 🔹 Warranty from the service center (usually 3-6 months).
- 🔹 Long life without the risk of detachment or the appearance of broken pixels.
The downside is the high price tag, which can be as much as half the cost of a new smartphone.+ It'll cost 12,000-14,000. ₽, The device itself in the new state costs about 25,000. ₽.
Similar screens are divided into two categories:
- Quality replicas (e.g., from BOE, Tianma, Truly) are similar in characteristics to the original, but may have slight differences in color reproduction or viewing angles, priced 30-50% lower.
- Budget-based counterparts (often brandless) are cheap, but at the risk of poor sensor calibration, low brightness, or rapid wear, and are only suitable for a temporary solution.
💡
Before buying a similar, check if it supports Always-on Display (if your model has one), and many cheap screens don’t properly display this feature.
How to distinguish a quality analogue from a fake?
- 📌 The original packaging should be QR-serial-number.

Hidden costs: what else can impose a fee

- Check whether the price includes a work guarantee and spare parts.
- If you are offered to replace something else (for example, a battery or speaker), require a preliminary diagnosis with a photo / video defect.

How to Save Money on Screen Replacement Without Risk
