LCD Screens for Samsung Galaxy S4
Whether your Samsung Galaxy S4 screen has cracked or is damaged from use, the right replacement LCD screen can go a long way toward restoring it to its original condition. LCD covers come in many colors and with various features based on your needs and the amount of damage you are looking to correct. From the glass itself to the addition of digitizers, you will find numerous products available.
What is a digitizer and do you need one?You may notice that many S4 LCD units come with this piece, but others offer only the glass. There is a big difference between the two types. The digitizer, typically fused to the glass, is responsible for translating your touch into digital pulses that allow the display to respond as you wish. Without this piece, the Samsung device may not function properly.
A screen kit that comes with the glass alone will allow for an adequate replacement only if the display itself is cracked but the touch function still works properly. Otherwise, you may want the additional piece to allow the touch screen to function as needed after you install the new glass.
Can you use LCDs from other Samsung models?Samsung has produced many different Galaxy phones and you can find screens for all of them. While some Galaxy models are very similar in terms of size, power, and screen resolution, you should always select a screen made specifically for your device to ensure compatibility. Even if the model has similar sizing, there is often some difference in dimensions and power requirements. An S4 LCD screen will fit properly over the camera and home button.
How do you find the screen model number?Different versions of the Samsung Galaxy S4 have different model numbers, depending on when the Galaxy S4 was released and which carrier your smartphone was made for. Finding the model number will help you get the right screen for your Samsung Galaxy S4. To find the phone model, just open the back cover of your S4 and look at the battery. You will find a sticker that lists the information you will need.
What colors are available for the Samsung Galaxy S4 LCD?Each phone screen includes a plastic bevel around the glass that is necessary to hold the LCD in place. This plastic comes in various colors and can be used to accessorize your Galaxy S4. You can either match your previous color or select a new one.

- Black
