Samsung Galaxy A35: Budget-Friendly Phone, Budget-Friendly Repair

The Samsung Galaxy A35 5G launched in March 2024 as Samsung's mid-range champion — an accessible device that punches above its price point with a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display, 120Hz refresh rate, and a capable 50MP triple camera. For many UK users, the A35 represents exactly what a mid-range phone should be: reliable, good-looking, and practical.

Screen replacement for the Galaxy A35 is one of the most cost-effective Samsung repairs in 2026. Multiple quality grades are available, from budget TFT LCD options to OLED alternatives, and Supreme Phone Parts stocks parts from our Manchester warehouse at trade prices.

Key Features of the Galaxy A35 That Affect the Repair

  • Side-mounted fingerprint sensor: Unlike Samsung flagships that use under-display fingerprint, the A35 uses a side-mounted sensor integrated into the power button. This is NOT part of the display assembly — it continues working perfectly after a screen replacement at any grade, including TFT LCD.
  • Frame-included screens: Most A35 replacement screens come pre-fitted with an inner frame, making installation significantly easier. The frame clips into the chassis rather than requiring adhesive alignment.
  • Rear-access teardown: Like all Galaxy S/A series phones, the A35 opens from the back. The rear glass is removed first to access the internal components and display connectors.

Why the A35 TFT LCD Is an Excellent Choice

Many repair professionals choose TFT LCD for A35 repairs for good reasons:

  • The side-mounted fingerprint sensor is completely unaffected — no feature loss
  • At £18.29 with frame included, it's one of the best-value complete screen assemblies available for any Samsung device
  • TFT LCD is robust and consistent — reliable brightness across the full display area
  • For older A35 devices being refurbished for resale at lower price points, TFT LCD is the commercially sensible choice

Tools Required

  • Heat gun or iOpener pad
  • Suction cup
  • Plastic spudger and picks
  • Phillips screwdriver and Torx T5
  • Non-magnetic tweezers
  • Anti-static mat and wrist strap
  • Adhesive strips (or frame clips if frame is included)
  • Isopropyl alcohol

Step-by-Step Samsung Galaxy A35 Screen Replacement

Step 1: Power Off and Remove SIM

Power off. Remove the SIM tray.

Step 2: Heat the Back Glass

Apply heat around the back glass perimeter for 60 seconds. The A35's adhesive is thinner than flagship models, making it somewhat easier to open.

Step 3: Remove the Back Glass

Suction cup on the back. Pick at the bottom edge and slide around the perimeter. The A35's back glass releases cleanly with adequate heat. Lift it off.

Step 4: Disconnect the Battery

Remove Torx T5 screws from the battery bracket. Disconnect the battery cable. Mandatory step.

Step 5: Remove Screws and Disconnect Cables

Remove Phillips screws from the component cover. Disconnect the cables visible over the display connector — usually the wireless charging coil and any flex cables. The A35's internal layout is clean and accessible.

Step 6: Disconnect the Display Cable

Locate the display connector (typically right side). Use a spudger to lift it straight up from the ZIF socket.

Step 7: Remove the Screen Assembly

If your replacement screen comes with a frame, the original screen simply lifts off the chassis once the adhesive is softened. Heat the front glass briefly (60 seconds), then use picks to separate the screen from the frame clips or adhesive channel. The frame-included replacements make this step easier as the whole assembly swaps out as one unit.

Step 8: Install the New Screen

If frame-included: clip the new screen assembly directly into the chassis — it snaps into place. If without frame: apply adhesive and seat carefully. Route the flex cable to the connector position.

Step 9: Connect and Test

Connect the display flex. Reconnect the battery. Power on and test: full-screen touch, display brightness, side-mounted fingerprint (should work perfectly), front camera, earpiece. Everything fine before sealing.

Step 10: Reassemble

Refit the component cover and screws. Refit the back glass. Apply adhesive if needed. Press firmly around the perimeter. Reinsert SIM tray.

FAQ: Samsung Galaxy A35 Screen Replacement

Will the side fingerprint sensor stop working after A35 screen replacement?

No — the A35 uses a side-mounted fingerprint sensor in the power button, not an under-display sensor. This is completely separate from the display assembly and continues working perfectly at every screen grade, including TFT LCD.

What's the difference between TFT LCD and OLED for the Galaxy A35?

TFT LCD at £18 provides good visibility and accurate touch response. OLED at £74 offers deeper blacks, better contrast, and richer colour matching the original Super AMOLED panel. For general everyday use, TFT LCD is perfectly satisfactory; for those who notice display quality, OLED is the better match.

Does the A35 replacement screen come with a frame?

Yes — both our TFT LCD and OLED listings include the inner frame (chassis), which makes installation significantly easier — just swap the entire assembly.

How long does Samsung Galaxy A35 screen replacement take?

The A35 is one of the faster Samsung repairs due to its clean internal layout and frame-included screens. Experienced technician: 30–40 minutes. First-timer: 60–90 minutes.

Is Samsung Galaxy A35 screen replacement worth it in 2026?

At £18 for a TFT LCD or £74 for OLED, yes — the Samsung Galaxy A35 retails at £299–£349, making even the OLED screen repair a fraction of replacement cost. Samsung supports the A35 with four years of OS updates, extending its useful life well into 2028.
