Coverage

OEM, Genuine, Original Quality and Premium Aftermarket are not interchangeable labels. Check the specific product listing for the quality class being purchased. Some device functions, including True Tone transfer/programming, depend on model, component and repair conditions.

What Goes Into Your Screen

Beyond the glass. Details that matter.

There is more to a display replacement than the front glass. Exact components and features depend on the model and replacement assembly.

OEM / Original Quality components

Depending on the device and supplied assembly, original-quality specifications may include:

  • Glass lens, LCD/OLED panel, digitizer and touch IC
  • Colour calibration and applicable programming or True Tone transfer
  • Backlight (where applicable), flex cables and FPC connectors
  • Speaker grille, mounting gasket, proximity-sensor bracket and connector pads
Certified Premium Aftermarket components

Premium assemblies are evaluated against the relevant part specifications, which may include:

  • Colour-calibrated LCD/OLED and responsive touch digitizer
  • Premium glass and suitable brightness/backlight characteristics
  • Camera-ring alignment, speaker grille, mounting gasket and sensor bracket
  • Connector pads, flex cables and FPC connectors
What about lower-tier aftermarket screens?

Not all aftermarket parts are equal. Lower-cost alternatives may differ in glass, colour, brightness, touch response, fit or quality assurance. Fix Factory focuses on its stated OEM/Original Quality and Certified Premium options rather than a separate low-tier “select” screen line.

Ask which technology and quality class is included in any quote, and compare warranty terms—not price alone.
