Original, OEM or Aftermarket Parts: What’s the Difference?

Original (OEM service parts)

Made by or for the phone manufacturer. Perfect colour, brightness and touch response, and full feature support. The most expensive option.

OEM-equivalent

Produced on the same production lines or to the same specification, without manufacturer branding. In practice very close to original, at a noticeably lower price. This is what most repairs use.

Aftermarket

Third-party parts of varying quality. Cheaper, but colour accuracy, brightness and touch can be visibly worse, and lifespan is shorter.

Always ask which category your quote uses. A price that looks too good usually answers the question by itself.

Every ULYNK quote states the part category up front, and eligible repairs are covered by our warranty.
