FAQs

Does the S22 ultrasonic fingerprint sensor work after screen replacement?

With a quality OEM-grade AMOLED panel, yes. Cheap aftermarket screens are frequently incompatible with the S22's ultrasonic sensor. Only use OEM-grade replacements.

Is the S22 harder to repair than the A54?

Yes. The S22 has more internal components, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and requires more careful disassembly. Recommended for experienced technicians.

Are S22 and S22+ screens interchangeable?

No. The S22 (6.1-inch) and S22+ (6.6-inch) use different sized panels.
