What this means for a repair

  • A flat front takes an ordinary 2.5D protector, which is the cheapest and most forgiving case — edge-to-edge coverage is a cosmetic choice here, not a fitment requirement.

    Applying without bubbles →
  • The pill cutout is a different size and position from the notch it replaced, so protectors for the previous generation will not line up even where the screen size matches.

    Why screen size is not enough →
  • An OLED panel means the glass and the display are usually laminated as one assembly, so a cracked front is a full-assembly job rather than a glass swap. Price the repair accordingly before you quote.

    Glass, digitizer or display? →
  • With no headphone jack, audio runs over the charging port. A worn port can present as an audio fault, so test both before replacing the flex.

  • The water-resistance rating does not survive being opened. Replace the adhesive gasket on reassembly, and tell the customer the rating is gone either way — in writing, before you start.
