As we know, our phone's screen is the most easily damaged parts, no matter how careful you are, your phone is bumped and squished and dropped. If you break your Samsung Galaxy S7 screen you'll want to get it fixed. Here's what you need to know about repairing or replacing the screen. Among popular smartphone screens, OLED is different from LCD, the well-known representative OLED is Samsung SUPER AMOLED. It is with brilliant sharp colors, but it seems so fragile as you accidentally drop your phone on the ground, you will probably get a shattered screen.


To fix this headache, it is very difficult even for repair stores. Refer to iFixit guide, Samsung Galaxy S7 edge Repairability Score is 3 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair).
