  • I have just installed this one yesterday

    Not as difficult as I thought it would be, shipping took about 2 weeks

    • Hi thanks for the response.
      One question though what is the quality compared to the original screen?
      Thanks

  • I've bought a dozen or so replacement screen/LCDs from aliexpress for various samsung, apple, nokia, etc phones. I find that aliexpress is more often than not cheaper. occasionally ebay is cheaper.

    never had a problem with the replacement parts I've purchased there.

    just be prepared to wait 4 - 6 weeks for delivery.

    I usually use an ifixit guide -such as this nexus 5 to check the part is everything that I need.

    • good to know, any specific seller on there?
      im worried about shitty quality screens

      • No particular seller. I usually look at the cheapest(checking feedback to see that the seller and product is OK).

        Actually, I did get a bad item once. No the quality but I was a first time phone fixer and I didn't check the the requirements for the replacement screen and ended up with the screen unit without the frame. The screen worked great but without the frame then it wouldn't have been useful. -though in retrospect, I could have epoxied the screen permanently to the phone…..
