The Samsung Galaxy S4, the latest model of Samsung smartphones, boasts a lot “under the hood” in a manner of speaking. So it’s not all that surprising that the LCD screen also packs a punch. Its fast processor is matched only by its vivid screen, which makes the photos taken by the camera that much more impressive. From the Samsung Galaxy S3 to the S4, the screen size was enlarged to 5 inches of full HD resolution. The Super AMOLED HD screen topped the contenders in 2013 and still impresses users today.
For a phone that is now over a year old, it also maintains a compact and solid design amongst the most popular recent models. But that doesn’t mean it’s faultless or damage-proof. One aggressive finger swipe combined with a loose grip on the handset could end in the phone lying shattered on the concrete. If this happens to you and you feel the tears well up in your eyes, remember that you have options for Samsung Galaxy S4 screen replacement!
Depending on the circumstances and how extensive the damage is to your S4 cracked screen (and beyond), your device will require different replacement parts.

The chances are good that whatever accident befell your device will cause you to need more than just screen repair.
