Start with the exact model
Not just the brand. Tecno Spark 10 is not Tecno Spark 10C. Samsung A series variants differ by region code. Open Settings and note the full model number before you shop. Screens and flex cables are model-specific down to the revision.
Screens: more than glass
- LCD vs OLED affects colour and cost
- Frame included or glass only changes labour and fit
- Touch layer quality shows up as ghost touches if cheap
The cheapest screen online often lacks brightness, has weak touch, or dies in weeks. You pay twice: once for the part, again for rework.
Batteries: fit and safety beat price
Batteries must match connector, thickness, and capacity spec for the model. Bulky wrong packs stress the frame. Unknown cells can swell. Buy from a shop that will stand behind the fit, not a random listing with no return path.
Charging ports and small flex cables
These look universal. They rarely are. A port for the wrong sub-model fits loosely, charges at an angle, or fails in days. Flex tears if routing differs by millimetres. Small parts are where "almost right" becomes "worse than before."
Questions to ask any shop
- Which exact model is this part for?
- Do you test after fitting?
- What happens if it fails in the first week?
We stock and source parts matched to the phones we see daily in Nyahururu. You get the right part, fitted and tested, with a clear conversation about quality tiers when options exist.
