The Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e is a slim, premium Android tablet that punches well above its price point. When the display cracks or stops responding, the cost of a service centre repair can feel disproportionate — but buying a quality replacement screen and doing it yourself is straightforward, affordable, and gets your tablet back in perfect condition within 48 hours.
Supreme Phone Parts Ltd supplies the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e SM-T720/T725 LCD Screen Digitizer Assembly with same-day dispatch from our Manchester warehouse. In this guide, we cover damage diagnosis, part specifications, a full step-by-step repair guide, and why over a thousand UK repair professionals trust us for their Samsung tablet parts.
What Are the Signs Your Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Screen Needs Replacing?
Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e screen failures typically present as cracked glass after a drop, a black screen despite the tablet powering on, coloured lines or dead pixel patches across the display, or an unresponsive touch digitizer. Any of these symptoms point to the display assembly as the failed component, and a replacement LCD digitizer unit will resolve all of them.
- Cracked glass: Visible impact damage from dropping the tablet on a hard surface
- Dead screen / black display: Screen shows nothing but the device is clearly running (sounds, vibrations, buttons respond)
- LCD bleeding or discolouration: Patches of purple, white, or black bleed spreading from an impact point
- Touch failure: Some or all areas of the screen don't register touch input
- Bright lines or bands: Horizontal or vertical coloured lines across the display indicate internal LCD failure
- Flickering screen: The display flickers, dims suddenly, or goes dark then bright intermittently
What Does the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Replacement LCD Assembly Include?
The replacement is a complete LCD screen digitizer assembly for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e, compatible with SM-T720 (Wi-Fi) and SM-T725 (LTE). The part includes the Super AMOLED display panel, the pre-bonded capacitive touch digitizer, and the pre-attached flex cable — ready to install without additional components.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e uses a 10.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a 2560 × 1600 WQXGA resolution. This gives the screen exceptional colour vibrancy, deep contrast, and energy efficiency compared to standard LCD panels. The replacement part maintains this Super AMOLED quality — you are not downgrading to a TFT substitute.
Key specifications:
- Display type: Super AMOLED
- Size: 10.5 inches
- Resolution: 2560 × 1600 (WQXGA)
- Compatible models: SM-T720 (Wi-Fi), SM-T725 (LTE)
How Much Does a Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Screen Replacement Cost in the UK?
Professional repair shops in the UK typically charge £90–£160 for a Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e screen replacement including labour. Samsung authorised service can cost £150 or more. A DIY repair using a quality part from Supreme Phone Parts reduces the total cost to the price of the part alone. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e currently sells second-hand for £100–£180 in the UK, so a screen replacement is a financially sound investment rather than a false economy.
How Do You Replace the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Screen Step by Step?
The Tab S5e screen replacement requires heat to loosen the adhesive, opening picks to separate the display, and a spudger to disconnect the flex cables. Here is the complete procedure:
- Power off the tablet completely before starting any repair.
- Warm the display edges using a heat gun or hairdryer on low heat for 30–45 seconds per edge. This softens the adhesive holding the screen to the chassis.
- Insert an opening pick at a corner of the bottom edge and work slowly around the perimeter. Maintain gentle, consistent pressure to avoid cracking the existing LCD further.
- Carefully lift the display panel a few centimetres once all edges are freed, keeping the flex cable slack to avoid tearing.
- Unclip the display flex connector(s) from the motherboard using a plastic spudger. The Tab S5e uses a single main display connector.
- Remove the old screen and thoroughly clean the adhesive residue from the frame using isopropyl alcohol (90%+).
- Connect the replacement screen's flex cable to the motherboard — press firmly until the connector clicks into its socket.
- Power on and test — verify display colours, touch response, and brightness before sealing.
- Apply adhesive and seal — use double-sided adhesive tape or B7000 glue and press the screen firmly into the chassis for 30–60 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e use AMOLED or LCD?
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e uses a Super AMOLED display — not a traditional IPS LCD. Super AMOLED delivers better contrast, more vivid colours, and lower power consumption than standard LCD panels. The replacement screen supplied by Supreme Phone Parts maintains the Super AMOLED quality of the original.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e screen easy to replace at home?
Yes, with care. The repair is a moderate-difficulty DIY job. The main challenge is separating the display without cracking it further, which is why thorough heat application is important. Once the screen is open, the connector work is straightforward. Most first-time repairers complete this in under 90 minutes.
Will the replacement screen fit both Wi-Fi and LTE versions?
Yes. The SM-T720 (Wi-Fi) and SM-T725 (LTE) versions of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e use the same display assembly. One part fits both models.
What if the replacement screen arrives damaged or faulty?
All parts dispatched by Supreme Phone Parts are inspected before shipping. In the event of a manufacturing defect or transit damage, contact us immediately at info@supremephoneparts.com or call 07879 888826 and we will arrange a replacement.
