samsung galaxy s9 replacement lcd screen free sample
In Union Repair store, we grade our iPhone screen into 5 different types of quality on the basis of different material assembled. The following is the full details of each condition.
It is with widely accept major complaint replacements for original parts, which keeps a right balance between price and quality. It has sustainable supplying chain in China, and all the components of the screen are copy quality. Typically, the LCD screen is from several different factories, the most popular 4 on China market are JK,AUO, LongTeng, and ShenChao. By comparing the brightness and sharpness of the LCD, we found JK is the best quality among them and the second best is AUO. No doubt, the other components on the screen are all copy.
It is better than After Market Basic cause it comes with original laminated flexes and the LCD panel. Other components like touch panel, frame(hot pressed), backlight, polarize lens, and OCA is all copy from different factories.
The core components (like LCD and flexes) is 100% original pulled from used iPhone while the frame and touch panel is copy. The touch panel and frame come together with cold pressed glue and assembled together with the LCD by the capable third-party factory which keeps its excellent quality.
No doubt, it is tear down from used iPhone with all the parts 100% original and working perfectly just like an original new screen, it has whatever the original new screen has. The only complaint about this quality is that some of the displays are with 1 or 2 scratches but still be welcome by our critical customers who are requiring good quality.
It is 100% original from Apple-authorized factories like Toshiba, Sharp, and LG. We get this kind of screen from the first level dealer. The touch panel of the screen is oleophobic coated which prevents from fingerprints when using your iPhone. And starting with iPhone 7g, the backlight from different authorized factories comes with a different code. Backlight from Sharp has the code begins with DKH/CON, from Toshiba begins with C11/F7C/FZQ, from LG begins with DTP/C3F.

A cracked Samsung phone screen can be devastating, especially if you rely on your phone for business, school and your social life. Screen replacement options include cell phone repair services, insurance claims and DIY repair. Here’s a breakdown of each plus associated costs to help you decide which option is best – plus whether it’s worth fixing your phone or if you’re better off selling it broken.
Option 1: Cell phone repair services – $199 to $329 Local repair shops can often replace your Samsung screen in under an hour, so you can get your phone fixed over your lunch break. Online mail-in repair services take longer, but they can be good options if you do not have a qualified local repair shop.
Expect to pay between $199 and $329 for Samsung screen replacement, depending on your model. Some repair shops offer warranties that offer free or discounted parts and labor if your screen fails within the warranty period.
If you have it, phone insurance might be your cheapest option. You can even get same-day screen replacement if an authorized or mobile repair center is nearby. Otherwise, you’ll need to mail your phone in for repair.
Some carrier plans allow you to request a replacement device instead of getting your phone repaired, but that option typically costs more. For example, Verizon insurance charges $29 for screen repairs but up to $249 for replacement.
Option 3: Do-it-yourself (DIY) cracked Samsung phone screen replacement – $92 to $240 You can purchase a replacement screen for your Samsung phone from several phone parts suppliers, including Repairs Universe, Injured Gadgets and FixEZ. Some stores sell screen replacement kits that come complete with tools; otherwise, you’ll need to buy tools separately. Toolkits start at $5.
Expect to pay between $92 and $240 for a replacement screen, depending on your Samsung model, whether your buy new or refurbished and whether you buy the screen with or without the frame (the frame adds around $20 and can make installation easier). Keep in mind that quality varies, and you’ll typically spend more for a high-quality screen. Pricing can also vary by color.
Note that some parts suppliers sell OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts while other sell aftermarket parts. Some offer both. Here are some example replacement Samsung screen prices (with the frame).Galaxy S20New: $240
How to replace your Samsung screen WARNING: Screen replacement can be a difficult repair, especially if you aren’t experienced. Before you attempt to replace your own Samsung screen, be aware that you risk causing additional damage and you could void any warranties and insurance policies.
You can find detailed step-by-step instructions on sites like iFixit and YouTube. Here are screen replacement videos for the Samsung Galaxy S20, S10 and S9.
Should you fix your Galaxy screen or sell it broken? You might want to base your decision on how much your phone is worth broken versus repaired, especially if you plan to upgrade soon.
For example, at the time of this writing, a Samsung Galaxy S10 128GB on the Verizon network was worth $155 in good condition. Here’s a breakdown of its net value after different repair options.
Galaxy S10 Value – Cost of Repair = Net Value After RepairRepair MethodValue (good condition)– Repair/Deductible Cost= Net Value After Repair
Next, compare the net value after repair to what your Samsung phone is worth in broken condition. At the time of this writing, a broken Samsung Galaxy S10 128GB on the Verizon network was worth $40.
As you can see, our example Galaxy phone will have the highest value if you file an insurance claim, though the SquareTrade deductible leaves a net value of just $6.
However, if the digitizer or LCD is also damaged during a fall, that screen no longer carries value because it cannot be refurbished. Repair shops cannot sell broken LCDs to refurbishing companies; therefore, they cannot offset the cost of an LCD repair. That is why repair stores often charge a little extra if there is damage to the LCD or digitizer, to make up for that loss. Repair stores that don’t have an additional charge for an LCD repair typically inflate their glass repair price to make up for the loss from damaged LCDs. If they have one price, that means everyone is paying more to cover the cost of customers who have damaged LCDs and customers who only have cracked glass. This is why TCR separates the price of glass and LCD repairs for you! If you only have cracked glass, you only have to worry about paying to replace the cracked glass.
If your phone or tablet’s glass is shattered there will be cracks or chips on the screen itself. If it is just the glass that is damaged, the device may still function and you may be able to use it normally. If this is the case, it is likely that only the glass needs to be replaced. To prevent further damage to your device it is best to get it repaired quickly. For example, if liquids seep through the cracks it could cause permanent damage to the LCD.
Many people may continue to use their touchscreen with shattered glass and delay fixing the glass on their devices; however, if the touchscreen isn’t responsive, it could be a sign of more significant damage to the device’s digitizer which is integrated with the LCD screen.
A pixelated screen can indicate LCD damage. This would look like a patch of multicolored dots, a line or lines of discoloration, or a screen with rainbow colors. For many people, these colors are an easy way to know that their LCD is broken and that they should get it repaired.
Dropping your phone isn’t the only reason you’ll end up with a pixelated screen. Over time, your screen’s LCD may break down through regular use. This happens to other devices aside from your smartphone or tablet. Pixelation can happen to TVs and computers, too. People typically decide to buy a new device when this happens. Fortunately, with an LCD repair, you can fix the device without needing to replace it.
A black screen or black spots on your smartphone or tablet is an indication of a damaged LCD. Often with a bad LCD, a phone may still turn on and make noises, but there is no clear picture. This does not necessarily mean any other part of the phone is damaged and a simple screen replacement will get it functioning again. Sometimes it can mean a battery or other internal component is damaged. It is best to have a highly qualified phone repair technician diagnose what is wrong so the appropriate repair can be made.
Fortunately, your mobile device is fixable whether you cracked the glass or damaged the LCD. Stop by or call TCR: Triangle Cellular Repair at (919) 263-2699 for a free diagnostic and quick, affordable cell phone repair in Chapel Hill and surrounding areas. We’re always happy to help!
As always, used devices can be found for less than refurbished or new devices. Because this Galaxy S8 / S9 replacement cost is below that for a screen repair, this is why we generally advise against it, unless you have data that you want. Instead, we suggest getting a replacement device or choosing a device to upgrade to.
These devices are nearing the end of their life cycle and are losing software support soon. Additionally, these phones do not take advantage of new 5G bands, which are quickly becoming the standard for cell service providers. Their cameras are also showing their age, and if you’re someone who is always snapping pictures or just hoping to perfectly capture an important moment, the S8 or S9 might not be for you.
When inspecting a screen, remove any screen protectors and cases first. Tilt the device under good lighting conditions and inspect it at multiple angles. Screen damage includes hairline cracks that are difficult to see.
Wearables like Apple & Samsung watches often don"t have visible LDIs. Check for moisture under the display screen, as well as corrosion, discoloration, and fuzzy growth on the charging connection.
If the device does not fully turn on and load the home screen or if it cannot stay on without being connected to a charger, it"s considered not able to turn on.
No matter how careful you are, accidents happen. Screen damage and liquid damage are not covered under the warranty, so T-Mobile can"t exchange devices with this damage. But, we don’t want you to be stuck with a broken phone, so you have two options to replace or repair your damaged device:
As we reported in our MWC18 blog, Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S9 and S9+ smartphones were officially unveiled in Barcelona on Feb 25, 2018 at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 pre-event. Our procurement team managed to get one Galaxy S9+ (Model: SM-G965F/DS, 64GB) in our hands early for a quick teardown. Our teardown experts did an amazing job in separating the phones into pieces so quickly, so we have the chance to share with you our early findings of what’s inside the Samsung flagship Galaxy S9+.
We tore down multiple versions of the Galaxy S9+. Samsung has continued with their dual-sourcing strategy, including the Exynos AP in European models, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon in US models. The table below compares the major components of the two models:
Our Galaxy S9+ model includes Samsung"s own Application Processor Exynos 9810. The Application Processor module is a Package-on-Package (PoP) with Samsung"s own 6GB LPDDR4X SDRAM K3UH6H60AM-AGCJ. We were hoping to see the rumored DDR5, but this version of the phone still includes the LPDDR4X.
The Exynos 9810 is fabbed in Samsung"s 2nd generation 10nm FinFET process 10nm LPP. According to Samsung, the 10LPP process technology allows up to 10% higher performance or 15% lower power consumption compared to its first generation 10nm LPE (Low Power Early).
TechInsights has already analyzed the Samsung 10LPE process technology found inside the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 and Samsung Exynos 8895 APs. We have published a few competitive technical analysis reports such as Digital Functional Analysis Report (DFAR), Advanced CMOS Essentials (ACE), and Transistor Characterization Report. We will also analyze the Samsung 10LPP process in a few report formats.
We have decapped the Samsung Exynos 9810 AP PoP and gotten the images of the AP/Modem die with a die mark S5E9810A02. The die size (seal) is 10.37 mm x 11.47 mm = 118.94 mm2, a slight bigger than the previous Exynos 8895 AP/Modem die S5E8895A01’s seal die size 10.50 mm x 9.87 mm = 103.64 mm2.
We have decapped the Qualcomm-based Samsung Galaxy S9+ SM-G965U and can take a look into the latest updates to the Snapdragon flagship AP. Despite the heavy marketing of AI features, both the Snapdragon 845 and Exynos 9810 are software-based machine-learning solutions based on an SDKs, distributing workload to the CPU, GPU, or DSP based on requirements. Thus, as with the Exynos 9810, the main thrust for increased functionality is through increased CPU performance, with significant increases in area compared to Snapdragon 835, as well and increased customization of the ARM-based cores.
Both the Qualcomm and Samsung APs integrate similar class modems, both increased to the Cat. 18 download speed classification. Thus, as with the Samsung Exynos 9810 vs. the 8895, the Snapdragon 845 represents also an increased die size over the last generation 835, with a 30% increase in die size.
The Snapdragon 845 is overall 25% smaller than the Samsung 9810, for ostensibly the same specs and thus represents a lower cost solution. This fits the same trend as from the previous generation Samsung Galaxy S8. We noted a difference in memory usage as a key part of the difference AP die size difference. The functional block level analyses are in progress and we’ll see if this continues on the same pattern.
The Galaxy S9+ includes a new RF Transceiver, Samsung"s Shannon 965. The Shannon 965 works with the LTE Cat.18 modem integrated in the Exynos 9810 to implement the 1.2Gbps download (peak) and 200Mbps upload (peak).
We now have the die photos of the Samsung Shannon 965 RF Transceiver, showing the die marking S5M9650X01. The die size (seal) is 5.96mm x 5.92mm = 35.28 mm2, slightly larger than the previous Shannon 955 RF Transceiver in the Galaxy S8.
Samsung claimed at MWC 2018 it had "completely re-imagined the camera" and built a phone around it. The Galaxy S9/S9+ design philosophy was to develop a camera system that can adapt to its environment, similarly to the human eye, and radically slow down time.
Today we can share our initial teardown images and have confirmed the iris scanner chip is new (compared to the S5K5E6YV used in the Note 7 and Galaxy S8). We are excited to analyze Samsung"s new 3-stack ISOCELL Fast 2L3 and we"ll be publishing updates as our labs capture more camera details. We also expect to purchase phones from other regions and confirm whether Samsung will continue to dual-source the main camera chip.
Galaxy S-series camera innovations recently disclosed by Samsung have contributed to the S9+ capturing top ranking in DxO Mark"s mobile camera performance scoring system [1]. Samsung is not first to market with variable mechanical apertures or 3-layer stacked image sensors, however the integration of both elements in the S-series is a bold move to differentiate from other flagship phones. Subscribers to our ChipSelect IS service can look forward to Device Essentials projects on the new 3-layer stacked imager and new iris scanner chips. We have yet to confirm a dual-sourcing strategy for the wide-angle rear-facing camera, but we expect to find and report on a Sony 3-layer variant.
Samsung recently announced its 3-die stacked ISOCELL imager at the pre-MWC 2018 Galaxy S9 event and with a formal press release for the Fast 2L3 following on Monday, February 26 [4]. The S9 wide-angle camera system, which integrates a 2 Gbit LPDDR4 DRAM, offers similar slo-mo video functionality with 0.2 s of video expanded to 6 s of slo-mo captured at 960 fps. Samsung promotes the memory buffer as beneficial to still photography mode where higher speed readout can reduce motion artifacts and facilitate multi-frame noise reduction.
The wide-angle camera module uses Samsung"s Fast 2L3, its third-generation 12 MP, 1.4 µm pixel pitch Dual Pixel ISOCELL sensor. The imager uses a Bayer RGB col-sm-12 col-lgor filter array, has die markings of S5K2L3SX and a die size of: 5.88 mm x 7.68 mm (45.2 mm2). Overall, that"s a wider die than the S5K2L1 and S5K2L2, so we"re anxious for our labs to produce die photos of the underlying die. The surface artifacts of through silicon vias (TSVs) are visible, and our cross-section work in progress will soon show the details of the 3-layer stack.
The S9+ telephoto camera chip is a recycle of Samsung"s 12 MP, 1.0 µm pixel pitch S5K3M3SM from the Galaxy S8. It"s a two-die stacked imager with masked PDAF pixels, Bayer RGB col-sm-12 col-lgor filter array and die size of 4.21 mm x 5.61 mm (23.6 mm2).
The S9"s iris scanner is packaged in a 6.1 mm x 5.2 mm x 5.1 mm thick module. The monochrome, two-die stacked S5K5F1SX chip has a 6 MP resolution and 1.0 µm pixel pitch. This is a substantial upgrade from the up from the 5 MP resolution, 1.12 µm pixel pitch conventional back-illuminated sensor used in the Note 7/Galaxy S8. The S5K5F1SX die size is 3.11 mm x 3.78 mm (11.8 mm2).
The Galaxy S9"s front-facing camera chip is a recycle of the Samsung S5K3H1SX we first saw in the Galaxy S8. It"s a two-die stacked imager with 8 MP resolution, 1.22 µm pixel pitch and a die size of 3.83 mm x 8.00 mm (30.6 mm2).
We"ve just torn down a US-sourced Galaxy S9+, model SM-G965U, and as expected we learned Samsung is continuing its dual-sourcing strategy for the Galaxy S-series wide-angle camera chip. The IMX345 die size is 5.86 mm x 7.80 mm (45.7 mm2). The die dimensions are comparable to the sister Samsung S5K2L3SX chip and of course we"re busy uncovering the details of both solutions, including the two other die stacked below these top image sensor chips. That"s it for now - we wanted to share this fresh news and we"ll be updating our IS subscribers with cross-sectional work in progress as it becomes available.
We have confirmed that the main wireless combo SoC die inside the above Samsung Electro-Mechanics module is Broadcom BCM43570, the same 802.11ac/Bluetooth 5.0 die we saw in the Galaxy S8.
Our decap has confirmed that the NFC controller is Samsung S3NRN82. We also found a Samsung Secure Element (SE) die S3FV9RRP in the NFC module. For your information, the same SE socket in the Galaxy S8 was from STMicroelectronics.
A side note: we had been hoping to find Broadcom’s BCM47755 - which supports two frequencies (L1+L5), compared to the legacy chip’s L1 – but the Samsung Galaxy S9+ does not include this part. We will continue our hunting. According to Broadcom, the BCM47755 can achieve lane-level accuracy outdoors and much higher resistance to multipath and reflected signals in urban scenarios, as well as higher immunity to interference and jamming.
There is a new Broadcom (AFEM-9090) Front-End Module which looks to support both the high- and mid-cellular bands. This means there was a design win change from the Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G955F in that Qorvo is no longer supporting any cellular bands in the “F” model of the new Samsung S9+. We will have to see if this is true in the Qualcomm S9+, or if this design change is across all variants for the new Galaxy S9 product line.
STMicroelectronics has won the MEMS Accelerometer & Gyroscope (LSM6DSL inertial module) and pressure sensor (LPS22HB) sockets, same design-wins as we saw in the previous Galaxy S8/S8+ phones.
On the main board we found two Knowles MEMS microphones, and a third Knowles MEMS microphone on the USB-C flex board. We noted on the USB-C flex board the markings “EUR” and “KOR” suggesting there is a different flex assembly for other Galaxy S9 models for other regions.
This makes sense since this particular substrate assembly has many of the cellular antenna contacts. We did not find the same pronounced markings on last years Galaxy S8 models.
Biometric identification is a very important feature of today’s smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy S9+ combines face recognition, iris scan, and fingerprint sensor. We decapped the module to further explore the fingerprint sensor, and to our surprise we found that Taiwan’s Egis Technology has won the fingerprint sensor socket. This means a socket loss for Synaptics which had been the fingerprint sensor supplier of Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S series phones from the S5 to the S8.
The third one is the optical fingerprint sensor solution targeting the full screen smartphones. With smartphones trending toward larger screens with higher screen-to-body ratios, a fingerprint sensor located on the front will definitely affect that ratio.
We have recently purchased the Vivo X20 Plus UD smartphone, the world’s first in-display fingerprint sensor phone based on Synaptics’ optical fingerprint sensor, and we are analysing it now. As we are expecting to see more design wins in this year’s Android phones, we are unsure at this time why Samsung did not select the Synaptics optical fingerprint sensor in the Galaxy S9+.
Before the Android world’s facial recognition and ultrasound fingerprint sensor solutions mature, in-display optical fingerprint sensor solutions seem to be the best option for full screen smartphones to compare to Apple’s Face ID. At MWC18, Vivo revealed its APEX™ FullView™ concept smartphone, featuring world’s first half-screen in-display fingerprint sensor.
