Stop blowing this out of proportion! They are fine and actually in some cases way better than my HTC 8X (Super LCD2). This screen is easily the best on the market.

They're not nearly as bad as I thought it would be, not like the HTC Sensation back in 2011. It'd be nice if they were better though, for sure.

Once the SAMOLED came out on the Galaxy S, everyone expects perfect viewing angles now. But it's just a novelty, like something you can brag about to your friend who has a different phone. In real-world use, I'm never going to watch a movie with the phone tilted away from me.

Yeah S-AMOLED colors sometime irritates Eyes,Because SAMOLED is too saturated But there is actually A perspective that people complaining about Zl screen, Cause is Sony put TFT and they are asking money of SLCD2-IPS, Bro its not Fair that they are selling their device with High price and Putting Low Cost Equipments like TFT, See why Nexus put IPS instead of non-IPS ???
but I read in Xperia Z thread as well ZL that Sony used Two display types one is JDC and 2nd is Sharp panel, The Sharp display panel is accurate in colors Specially Black.
I know this is Xperia ZL thread but as Z/Zl are using same specs and Display panel that's why I mention some......

My phone has the Sharp. It seems that you are unhappy with your screen, is it just the viewing angles or the colors/contrast?

Movies aren't the only thingI use my phone for though. I use graphing calculators on the phone since don't want to go out and spend $100 on one. Sometimes it's difficult to see the calculator clearly because it washes out. I'm not looking at it head on, it's beside my math work.

And ppl never pick on SAMOLED is basically unreadable under natural light (sun light) which is the problem I would run into more than looking at my screen side way. S3 owner here.

Maybe you have a bad screen, I'm reading my phone right now and it's at an extreme angle. Still looks wonderful and sharp, everything is clear and readable.
60-70° Viewing Angle (with some sunlight, indoors with lots of windows)

I will when I get home, but I can say that after calibrating the white balance viewing angles are much better. The camera is good, but they come out blurry as if there is too much post-processing going on. I think the hardware is good, the software is just messing it up.

my ZL has bad angles too (Russian eurotest C6602)

Agreed. But just to be sure, I've posted links for both. Arc & Arc S.

Maybe anyone knows where to buy something like hardened housing for white Arc S? Mine housing was changed under the warranty. Now warranty ends and my housing appears to slowly getting cracked

Hello, what is easy to install? I think i read somewhere you needed to be careful with the screen disassembly.

Dad might be visiting some family so he might pick me one up from a local trader since it might be cheaper, I guess it's just a waiting game for me now

I bought a new housing for my Arc S as well, because mine was in a very bad condition (I don't know how often I dropped my phone already ) ...
It was very easy to replace the old one ... and even the LCD was easy to disassemble (the adhesive is not very strong) ... I recommend every one with a damaged housing to buy one of those new ones on ebay to replace the old one.... and that for just 12-15€ (incl shipping).

Hi,
I bought an OEM one from HK via ebay... OEM housing
I compared both and I couldn't find any differences... this is definately a perfect copy... all adhesives were already on the cover and everything worked very well... I cannot complain anything about the new housing... well maybe the left back key is maybe 0.1 mm lower than the home button... but this can be also caused by me... the delivery to europe was about 20 days

Thanks again,
I've asked so many services but they said that they need to change the screen as well because the front case is with the LCD panel....

Arc S housing will fit with Arc?
my arc's housing is at the verge of extinction & the housing of arc is out of stock at ebay.in, so i am planning to buy the white one Arc S housing for my Arc.
Did anyone tried it?
I know both are same but may be some tiny difference from inside

i cannot comment on compatibility of arc s with arc , but from experience the housing /full body available on ebay are mostly cheap copies and not upto the mark. i personally had ordered 2 from ebay.in. at first they fit well and appear new and shinny but within a month they showed up sings of wear inspite careful handling (original housing/full body took 2 years to show such wear signs) and 1 of them eventually cracked.
im planning to get my housing from sony service ( i know it will break my pocket :crying :silly:

I got the housing & i must say that it looks quite nice & decent but cant compared with the original one, the xperia logo is little bit in bold font while the HD is written in light ink or it looks bright & not as dark as the original alslo the finishing of the housing is not very good when compared to original one.
The back panel looks the same as the original but the faceplate is has bad finishing (shapes are little bit more sharp than curve)
Chrome strips looks like original when seen from distance but when i took it close to my eyes they also looks duplicate (not bad though) & i dont think it will last longer.
I suggest anyone go for the original one because this housing will serve you no more than 6 months.
I will comment about the faceplate crack if i get one..

It comes with a screen protector on it. Also it comes with 2 in the box for the front and back.

For the front only. No back protector.

Does anyone know who is selling an oleophobic tempered glass screen protector yet? Bought one for my XZ and absolutely loved it.

I was surprised that only a front screen protector came in the box, I will be buying a Zagg HD screen protector when it comes out, always had the HD ones, easy to fit and great quality.

I have ordered one of these to give it a go as I always like the concept of screen protectors but the lack of feel on the touchscreen and the dust which creeps in bugs the hell out of me and it should arrive some time this week.
Will be leaving on the shatter protection and coating the back and front of my Z1 so after 24 hours I will be able to report back here (length of time it takes to fully harden)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007EZ3EM0/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
If this can be used for 50 devices then it should pay for itself eventually with money saved from buying multiple screen protectors.

Yes, please let us know as I was looking at that. It seems a bit risky though as you have no idea really that it has worked (or not) until you get a gauge on it!

Dynaflow is now on and you really cannot tell it's even on (have I brought into some snake oil !! ) left the phone off for 24 hours and then turned it back on and gently buffed the screen and back afterwards.
Early days yet and will not be doing any kind of torture tests on my phone so if its still got a pristine screen after 6 months with normal use (even though I am incredibly careful with phones) I will be more likely start to believe this product works specially if I have any mishaps.
Really dubious right now and I am itching to put on a screen protector again as I can see that and know it works!

Xperia Z3 Compact Screen - Original and Replacement comparison.

Hi, I made simple comparison between original screen and not bad replacement. Main differences:
- Replacement is more fragile, original has better quality glass
- Replacement has worse colors saturation
- Replacement has lower brightness, especially visible on the white color
- Viewing angles looks similar
I tested replacement 1/3 cheaper than original and I can say it's not bad but I still prefer original one with whole frame, flexes and speakers.

Whole test and more pictures is here. Again only in Polish cause my English is still to weak to translate it all but maybe in the future. For now You can use translate button.

TBH, Replacement Screen looks bad. Colors are washed out compared to the original one, If you need a screen replacement don't waste your money on garbage and purchase OEM Screen from Sony

I don't need replacement, I made this comparison on my blog for my clients to show them what is real difference between replacement and original. Here I just posted results.
Of course original is always better but if I have to be honest my clients mostly choosing replacement over original because it's cheaper. Maybe 1/5 of them decides to buy 2x more expensive original. The other side is that AE, eBay and others are selling replacements sometimes 4x-5x cheaper than original. When someone needs to buy LCD, he's going to think twice before buing one for 120-150$.

I know this Isn't the right thread to ask this,and I know it is a noob question but my screen has cracked and touch is going insane when I touch the screen,so do I need to replace the whole LCD panel or only the glass(digitizer) and there are no artifacts on the screen?

You can replace only digitizer but for that You need to separate digitizer from LCD. It's really hard when You don't have separator with heat option. Next You need to clean old glue and again to do that manually You need luck. After that You need to put new glue but here is another problem cause there are two types of glue: dry OCA but without pressure machine You wont unite it and second liquid LOCA but here You need ultraviolet lamp to harden it.
Anyway making any step of it You can break LCD. So if You don't know anyone with required equipment and knowledge You shouldn't try it. There is no chance that You can do it manually if You never done it.

Ok,thank you for the help.

where I can buy cheap original LCD and how I can see the difference? if there is any difference in chip color, backside adhesive covering...Could you post the picture?

Here is my comparison of original and spare LCD. It's in Polish but pictures shows what is the difference. Where to buy, AliE or eBay I suppose. I'm ordering mine from local distributor but I suppose in the edn all are from China.

Probably won't work, but I ask anyway: Could one get an AMOLED screen as replacement? That is the only thing I'm missing on my Z3c and makes me look to the Axon 7 Mini and others.

Nope, only LCDs for Z3c.

hi , i bought cracked z3c and will try separating , digitizer and lcd 1st before ordering digitizer only or lcd+digitizer
my problem here is z3c that i bought is 4.3" i thought it is only available in 4.6"
is it any problem if i'm replacing it with 4.6" lcd ?

Are You sure it is Z3c not Z1c??

Yea, that's what I found out after I bought and replaced my screen, bezels are bigger on this compared to original However, as I expected this screen is complete crap. Colours are washed out (can be adjusted through KCAL so not a problem), it has annoying flickering on brightness above 50%, and the thing I hate the most out of it, touch response and accuracy while typing are horrible and it gets bad to the point where I find myself correcting every single word and have to slow down to actually type without errors. I just want to smash it, but until I collect more money to order another one from AliExpress I'll have to keep calm.

@Chamelleon
Do you buy originals? If Yes, where do you buy? In Brazil is very hard to find any original, I already buyed 3 to my and the last (current) was the worst.

It's hard to find original one cause it's no longer produced. When You are searching on eBay or some local auction portals look for one with whole frame with both speakers but without the flaps. All original displays for Z3c came to me like this: frame, both speakers and no flaps.

I just cracked the digitizer so I lost a part of the touchscreen. Now I'm searching for a non OEM display replacement. As some of you said you can find 4.3 and 4.5 replacement display for the Z3C but I don't wanna buy this crap. I just found a (supposed) 4.6 inches display on Aliexpress from a brand named SRJTEK. I cannot post the link cause I'm a new user.
Has anyone tried it yet ? Do you think this screen can do the job ? Otherwise what replacement display do you advice me guys ?
Thanks to all ! :good:

My friend has ordered one for me from this seller: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4-6...t-LCD-Touch-Screen-Digitizer/32805748648.html
I have to say that it looks like original screen (bezels, rear black film/tape, micro-controllers on flat cable), but I did not test it yet, since the LCD glue will arrive tomorrow. I may give it a quick test later and will update the post.
Update: After actually testing the screen, it looks suspiciously similar to the original one, in terms of brightness, colour reproduction and most importantly touch latency and sensitivity. My guess is that either the complete display+touch is from some defected device or it's a refurbished one, since no chinese copies would come this close.

I bought mine from this seller, and is by far the most similar to the original one,
very good brighteness and touch
colors are ok except for a little too much saturation expecially on red
Good quality glass, respect to another replacement that last me for less than a month and then cracked under the glass screen protector... that remains intact.

at the moment being, I use the Back Cover by Annure it fits perfectly on the MiA1 and doesn't attract fingerprints.. for the Tempered Glass I got a Mocolo Tempered.. black version, which has many disadvantages such as:
1. rainbow tinted on the center screen
2. dotted screen (visible under direct sunlight)
3. it does not cover the whole screen, just the flat part of the screen on MiA1
4. it's prone to fingerprint especially with oily hands / fingers...
other than the above list, I'm confident (for now) that my device is relatively save from harms

I bought one silicone cover for my mi a1. Overall i'm happy but i have a big con: Being the cover transparent, the light of the flash is retained in the corner and makes the photos with flash with a big ammount of light where the flash is located. I have to removed the cover to shot pictures with flash.

I've tried a few different screen protectors and so far they all suck for the reasons you listed. Regardless of what "brand" you buy...I'm pretty sure they are coming from the same manufacturer regardless of whose name is on the packaging. Fancier the packaging...the higher the price. I'm using my phone with a slim case and no screen protector.

Try Nillkin Amazing H
Nillkin Amazing H+ Pro is "no go" for almost all phones lately (Nillkin glass quality dropped so low these days) .
But the classic Amazing H (0,33mm) without 2,5D is working great for me. It's covering exactly the viewable part of display, leaving black frames of the display uncovered. And that I'm OK with, since they are covered by dark silicone back cover anyway.

I just ordered two covers: a NKOBEE (Cotton Cloth + Silicone Soft TPU) and a CAFELE (Ultra thin soft TPU silicone) for my Xiaomi Mi A1 / Mi 5x. In about two weeks time I will post my opinion about these pretty cheap but good looking covers.
In the mean time I have a question. Does your A1/5x came with a plastic cover preinstalled on the screen? I was trying to put the blue one, which comes inside the original package, and notice some small bobbles that didn't go away which make me realize that preinstalled extra layer. Do you guys keep that plastic layer on your phones?

I'm not sure as it's about three monts ago now but as far as i remember, yes, there was a plastic that i've put away directly before applying the screen protector.

Finally I remove the preinstalled plastic cover (there were 3 or 4 dust speckles below, distracting me at certain angles).
I'm taking a risk for the moment but I have had four smartphones with Gorilla Glass and none was scratched when I stop using them...
except for my Moto G Turbo that basically exploded after a 4m drop into sharp solid rock T_T

The second one is exactly what i was looking for !! Many thanks to you !! :good:
PS : love this community til day one, 7 years ago. So proud of all of you and your good spirit.

Well, I had the same screen protector (from different brand, but I think that the manufacturer is always the same) and thought that the dotted screen was a problem of the A1 Display [emoji23]
That was because I read that issue also on XDA!
Also, the prone to fingerprint was always there.
Someone has an hint for a good screen protector that doesn't retain fingerprint and, last but not least, covers all the panel?

I originally had a glass screen protector on but all around the edge didnt stick down due to the curved glass. I was then recommended a protector which has a black sticky border around the edge which sticks down to the curved edge. Works really well, although in one or two corners i had a bubble i couldnt get stuck down. I then watched youtube and found the trick with putting some cooking oil into the bubble and now its perfect!

sandstone cover, amazing grip

What is sense of this thread at all? To help shubham8 earn some money off xda users? Because all his links consist affiliate platform tags, you'll buy - he will earn on you. Besides, it's his own view only, as per mine, 4 of 5 cases are piece of ugly PVC.
I don' see here any hints on really top cases. Like this one and this one, for example.
Some time later there may be more even better cases, but this ugly list will keep being "top", really?

I've bought this
"MTB X-King More Energy® Framed A1 Premium Glass Screen Protector for Xiaomi Mi/Mi 5x (5.5) – Black – Full Face Screen Tempered Glass Protector"
from Amazon and I'm really satisfied. It attached perfectly.

I got the first one from op and the second is from Amazon. It consists of multiple parts and the kickstands is rather awesome as it also holds well on magnetic car mounts. It was 9 Euro on Amazon DE
