About PartMatch
A compatibility reference for phone repair technicians, built from a working shop's own records.
What this is
Phone spare parts are not made per model. They are made per shape, and one shape serves many models. A single tempered glass part in our data covers 154 different phones.
That means the practical question at a repair counter is never “what part is this phone’s part” but “which group does this phone belong to”. That knowledge usually lives in one experienced person’s head, or in a spreadsheet nobody can search one-handed with a customer waiting. PartMatch turns it into something you can look up in five seconds.
What’s in it
- 777 phone models across 12 brands
- 89 tempered glass compatibility groups
- Every model cross-referenced both ways — model to part, and part to model
Where the data comes from
The compatibility data began as a working spreadsheet maintained by people who fit these parts, built from supplier catalogues, physical fitting and accumulated bench experience. It is not scraped from marketplace listings, which are full of optimistic “fits all” claims.
That origin shapes both its strengths and its limits, and we describe both in detail. The short version: every entry reflects a part someone actually handled, and the coverage reflects the phones that come through a particular set of shops. A model that isn’t listed here simply isn’t recorded yet.
When we don’t know
Some phones appear under more than one part group. The source data records that both parts list the model; it does not record which one is correct for a given handset.
In those cases we show every candidate and explicitly refuse to rank them. A confident wrong answer costs a wasted trip to the supplier and a customer sent away twice. We would rather tell you to measure.
What this isn’t
We don’t sell parts and we don’t take commission on any sale. There are no affiliate links. The site is a reference, funded by advertising, and nothing in the compatibility data is influenced by who advertises on it.
Corrections
If you fit a part and find our listing doesn’t match reality, please tell us. A correction helps every shop that looks that model up afterwards.
