The difference is remarkable: while screen replacement for iPhone 17 Pro Max costs €380-450, polishing at onoff.gr costs just €94.50. For Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: replacement €320-380 versus polishing €90. Essentially, with the cost of one replacement you could have polishing done 4-5 times!

2. Environmental Benefit: 85% Waste Reduction

Something many of our customers don’t think about, but we see it every day: each screen replacement generates approximately 15-20 grams of electronic waste. With polishing, the original screen remains functional for years.

In Greece, approximately 50,000 tons of electronic waste are produced annually. If we all used polishing instead of replacement, we would reduce that figure by 8-10%!

3. Preserving the Original Screen: Authenticity & Value

One of the greatest advantages of polishing is that you keep the authentic, original screen manufactured by Apple, Samsung or any other manufacturer. The original screen has undergone rigorous quality checks and is optimized specifically for your model.

With replacement, even with “genuine” aftermarket parts, full compatibility is lost. Non-authentic screens may have differences in color tone, touch feel, or touchscreen responsiveness. Polishing guarantees that your device retains its original value.

Important: When reselling, a phone with its original screen is worth 15-25% more than one with a replaced screen, even if the replacement was done with a “genuine” part.

When is polishing NOT worth it?

To be fair, polishing is not always the best solution. There are cases where we recommend replacement to our customers:

  • Cracks deeper than 0.3mm - Deep cracks cannot be fully removed
  • Screen with dead pixels - Obviously, polishing doesn’t fix technical issues
  • Phones older than 4 years - It may not be worth it financially
  • Scratches covering >50% of the screen - In such cases, replacement is more logical
