Mobilemend ensures quality when it comes to replacement screens for your Samsung. From the beginning, we have been offering you the choice of Aftermarket quality or Original quality. Mobilemend works daily with suppliers to make sure you are getting the highest available quality of Aftermarket and Original screens. Keep in mind, there are many qualities of Aftermarket and Original screens available and not all repair shops buy from the same supplier: you get what you pay for in our experience. Now when comparing Aftermarket screens to Original quality screens, there some differences you should consider: Resolution, colour brightness and quality of workmanship.

We always recommend Original quality. This is going to be the closest to what you were currently using on your Samsung.
