Why Are iPhone Soft OLED Screens So Popular?
What we mainly see among repair technicians is that the FDX Ultra – Soft OLED screens are extremely popular.
This is because these screens offer display quality, color reproduction, and touch experience that are very close to the original, while being significantly more affordable than an original iPhone screen. As a result, they are the perfect middle ground between price and quality for many customers.
In addition, Soft OLED screens are more flexible than Hard OLED screens, making them more resistant to pressure during installation.
