No. Screens from aftermarket manufacturers are of substantially lesser quality than screens from Samsung. There are normally three major screen kinds available for Samsung Galaxy phones like the S9, S10, S20, etc. when it comes to screen repairs:
Screens labeled as Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) were made by Samsung or vendors who were approved by the company. An OEM screen has the same level of performance, quality, color accuracy, and touch sensitivity as the screen that came with the device at launch. It is regarded as the option of the highest caliber, but it is typically the most expensive. Many of the original Samsung screens you see have been “refurbished,” which means they have been taken from another phone, tested, and recertified for sale. This is typically a far more cost-effective option to obtain an original, functional screen that was taken off a phone.
Authentic Samsung Service Pack screens: These screens may not be the exact same displays that were initially put on the device, but they are still obtained directly from Samsung. Samsung service centers frequently employ service pack displays for official repairs. Although they are made in accordance with Samsung’s specs and quality standards, there might be a few minor variations from the original screen.
Aftermarket screen: Samsung neither approves nor endorses the aftermarket screens, which are made by independent manufacturers. These screens can range greatly in quality but are frequently more cheap than OEM or service pack screens. While some aftermarket screens might work and look comparable to the original, others might have poorer color fidelity, lessened touch sensitivity, or other problems.
It’s crucial to take your priorities into account when selecting a screen for your Samsung Galaxy repair. It is advised to use an OEM or original Samsung service pack screen if you want the greatest quality and performance. You might get a refurbished OEM screen to save some money. But, an aftermarket screen can be a more affordable choice if money is a factor and you’re ready to accept some potential quality compromises.
It’s important to keep in mind that installing an aftermarket screen may occasionally void your device’s warranty, so it’s a good idea to review the warranty’s terms and conditions before choosing a non-OEM screen. Also, a trustworthy and skilled specialist should do the repair to reduce the possibility of subsequent problems and assure appropriate installation.
It’s also important to keep in mind that aftermarket screens are frequently LCD models (rather than OLED or LED ones) and that many of them may impair some of your phone’s functionality. For example, your fingerprint sensor, proximity sensor, or facial recognition may not work as it did before.
Due to the significant price savings, many individuals are eager to purchase aftermarket parts, but the aforementioned problems should be taken into consideration.
