Samsung Galaxy screens are some of the most satisfying to replace yourself — the results are near-original when you pick the right part. This guide covers Galaxy A-series, S-series and Note models.

The Samsung-specific things to know

Fingerprint sensor: S-series and newer models have an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor built into the screen. This means you must choose an OLED or OEM tier — a Budget INCELL screen won't support it. Curved edges: S-series "Edge" displays are curved and bonded tightly, so gentle, even heat is essential.

The process

1. Power off and warm the screen edges to soften the adhesive.
2. Use the suction cup and pry tools to open — go slowly on curved-edge models.
3. Disconnect the battery first, then the display connectors.
4. Transfer any brackets, connect the new screen, and test touch and the fingerprint sensor before sealing.
5. Apply fresh adhesive and press firmly around all edges.

Choosing your tier

For any Galaxy with an in-display fingerprint sensor, go Pro OLED or OEM. For older A-series with a side-mounted sensor, Budget is fine.
