Oppo A57 Screen Replacement: The Right Part for 4G, 5G, A57s & More

If you've searched "oppo a57" and landed on four different-looking phones, you're not going mad. Oppo has reused the A57 name across nearly a decade, and the model sitting in your hand right now could be one of several genuinely different devices with genuinely different screens. Buy the wrong one and you'll be sending it back — so before you spend a penny on an oppo a57 screen, this guide walks through how to confirm exactly which phone you own.

There isn't just one "Oppo A57" — here's why that matters

Oppo's A-series naming has recycled "A57" for four separate handsets:

• Oppo A57 (2016 original) — launched November 2016 with a Snapdragon 435 chip and a 5.2" display. This is a completely different, much older phone to anything currently in production.
• Oppo A57 5G, model PFTM20 — released spring 2022, built around a Dimensity 810 5G chipset, 6.56" IPS LCD screen, and up to 8GB RAM / 128GB storage.
• Oppo A57 4G, model CPH2387 — released June 2022, a 4G-only sibling with a Helio G35 processor, 3GB RAM and 64GB storage, also on a 6.56" display.
• Oppo A57s, model CPH2385 — released September 2022, the higher-spec cousin of the same generation with a 50MP main camera, 4GB RAM and 64GB/128GB storage options.

So when people search oppo a57 2022, a57s oppo or oppo cph2387, they're usually trying to work out which of these three current-generation phones they actually have. E-Tech61 stocks confirmed screens for the 2022 generation only — oppo a57 4g, oppo a57 5g, and oppo a57s. If your phone is the 2016 original, please read the section below before ordering anything.

How to check your exact model number (do this first)

This takes under a minute and it's the single most important step in this whole guide:

1. Go to Settings > About Phone > Model Number / Version on your Oppo.
2. Alternatively, remove the SIM tray — the model number is often printed on the tray itself or on a sticker under the battery cover on older devices.
3. Check the original retail box if you still have it — the model number is printed on the barcode label on the side.

You're looking for one of these: CPH2387 (A57 4G), PFTM20 (A57 5G), or CPH2385 (A57s). If you see anything else, particularly a much shorter model code or a device running Android 6/ColorOS 3, you have the 2016 original and the parts below are not for your phone.

Oppo A57 variant comparison: model number, screen, price

Oppo A57 4G (CPH2387)

The A57 4G is the entry point of the 2022 line-up — 3GB RAM, 64GB storage, and no 5G radio. Despite being the "basic" model, the 6.56" LCD panel is a like-for-like assembly, and the confirmed replacement is the For Oppo A57 4G CPH2387 Replacement LCD Display Touch Screen Digitizer – £13.85. If your box or model number reads CPH2387, this is your part.

Oppo A57 5G (PFTM20)

Confusingly, the 5G variant actually launched a couple of months before the 4G model and carries a completely different model prefix — PFTM20 rather than the usual CPH pattern. It's the more capable phone of the pair thanks to the Dimensity 810 chip and up to 128GB storage, but the display itself is a separate part from the CPH2387 unit and not cross-compatible. Match your model number to the For Oppo A57 5G PFTM20 6.56" LCD Display Digitizer Touch Screen Replacement – £12.86 before ordering.

Oppo A57s (CPH2385)

Launched last of the three, in September 2022, the A57s is the camera-focused upgrade — a 50MP main sensor versus the 13MP unit on the standard 4G and 5G models — while keeping 4G-only connectivity. It's sold in both 64GB and 128GB configurations. The screen assembly is specific to CPH2385 and is stocked as the For Oppo A57S CPH2385 LCD Display Touch Screen Digitizer Assembly – £13.94.

Own the 2016 original Oppo A57?

If your model number doesn't match CPH2387, PFTM20 or CPH2385 — or your phone has a 5.2" screen and is running an old ColorOS version — you almost certainly have the original 2016 Oppo A57. This was a Snapdragon 435 phone with a much smaller display and an entirely different chassis. None of the parts listed in this guide fit it, and E-Tech61 does not currently stock a confirmed screen for this older model, so please don't order any of the above for it.

What you'll need to fit the screen yourself

Once you've confirmed the correct part, fitting is a manageable DIY job for anyone comfortable with small electronics, though it does require patience around the flex cable connectors:

• The correct screen assembly for your exact variant (see table above)
• A precision toolkit — the 38 in 1 Professional Screwdriver Repair Tool Set – £4.99 covers the pentalobe and Phillips screws plus spudgers and opening picks you'll need
• Adhesive to reseal the frame — the 110mL T7000 LCD Screen Black Glue – £5.99 is suitable for resealing the display frame once the new screen is fitted
• A clean, well-lit, static-free workspace and a small container to keep screws organised

Work slowly around the connector cables — they're the most fragile part of the job — and power the device down fully before you start. If you'd rather not attempt it yourself, you can hand the correct part to a local independent repairer instead; our cracked screen repair near me guide explains how to find one and what to ask before you hand your phone over.

While you're in there: battery health

If your A57 4G, 5G or A57s is also holding charge poorly, it's often worth replacing the battery at the same time as the screen since you'll already have the phone open. The Oppo A57 Battery Replacement Li-ion High Capacity – £17.99 is stocked as a direct fit across the current A57 generation.

How much does an Oppo A57 screen replacement actually cost?

The cost of an oppo a57 screen depends heavily on whether you fit the part yourself or hand it to someone else to fit. Buying the correct part direct — from £12.86 to £13.94 depending on variant — is the biggest cost saving available, since you're only paying for the component rather than labour.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Oppo A57 4G and Oppo A57 5G?

The A57 5G (PFTM20) uses a Dimensity 810 5G chipset with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, while the A57 4G (CPH2387) is 4G-only with a Helio G35 chip, 3GB RAM and 64GB storage. They share a similar 6.56" screen size but the model numbers, and the parts, are different.

Is Oppo A57s the same as Oppo A57?

No. The A57s (CPH2385) is a distinct 2022 model with a 50MP main camera, released a few months after the standard A57 4G and 5G. It shares the same generation but has its own model number and its own specific screen part — it isn't interchangeable with the standard A57 4G or 5G display.

How do I know if I have the old 2016 Oppo A57 or a 2022 model?

Check Settings > About Phone > Model Number. The 2022-generation phones show CPH2387, PFTM20 or CPH2385. The 2016 original shows a different, older model code, has a smaller 5.2" screen, and typically runs an early ColorOS version. If in doubt, the model number on the SIM tray or retail box is definitive.

How much does Oppo A57 screen replacement cost in the UK?

Parts-only, a confirmed replacement screen for the A57 4G, 5G or A57s costs between £12.86 and £13.94 depending on variant. Fitting it yourself keeps costs to the part price plus basic tools (from £4.99) and adhesive (£5.99). Taking it to a local independent repairer for fitting will typically cost more once labour is included.

Does the Oppo A57 128GB use a different screen to the 64GB version?

No — storage capacity (64GB vs 128GB) doesn't affect the screen assembly. What matters is the model number (CPH2387, PFTM20 or CPH2385), since the physical display and digitizer are matched to that, not to the storage tier.

Can I fit the Oppo A57 screen myself?

Yes, most confident DIYers can fit these screens with a basic precision toolkit, provided you take your time around the ribbon cable connectors and use the correct part for your exact model. If you're not confident, a local independent repairer can fit the part for you.

Where is the model number printed on the Oppo A57?

Check Settings > About Phone > Model Number on the device itself, or look at the SIM tray and the barcode sticker on the original retail box — all three should show the same code (CPH2387, PFTM20 or CPH2385).
