If your replacement screen comes with the frame you’ll need to to be sure to transfer over the other small components including the volume buttons, mics, ear speaker, and vibrating motor as well.

Are the front screen and glass one piece or two separate pieces?

Patrick - May 10, 2019

They can be purchased as two seperate pieces, but I highly recommend buying the complete assembly instead of fiddling with glueing them together.
