Use this guide to replace the screen in your Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
This guide shows how to replace the screen only. If your replacement part is a screen that's pre-installed on a frame, follow this guide instead.
The screen includes the front glass and the display panel. If your glass is cracked, you will need to replace both the glass and the display panel.
This process will destroy your old screen. Don't use this guide if you're trying to harvest a screen.

Hi,
thank you for great description. Just wondering about one detail, which is not visible - is there some kind of protection (e.g. grill) between the display and the frame in the gap for the ear speaker? It is obviously not from the top, I can see that, but I mean below the display. Or is the sound conduit opened from the speaker to the gap on the surface? If so, it seems to be a great trap for dust.
Thanks
Pavel
Great Guide. I was only frustrated at the end when I accidentally tore the gastket. Why are those extra Images Hyperlinked!? Why aren't the warning images included in the step pictures? It would be so much easier to not miss them.
