Things to be aware of when installing LCD in place of OLED
-
Reduced battery life - Whole screen is illuminated instead of individual pixels
-
Lower display quality - Similar to the difference between HD and 4K
-
Larger borders - Between the side of the phone and where the display starts
-
Thicker - LCD is thicker so screen sits higher and may affect case fitting
-
Not as flexible - Easier to damage when dropped
OLED
There are several options available:
-
Soft - As close to original as you can get for an aftermarket display
-
Hard - Same quality, but the display is easier to break (We tend not to offer these)
-
Refurb / Pulled - Genuine screen taken off another device and repaired if needed
-
Service Pack - Genuine, brand new part direct from the manufacturer
