Specifications & Features

Samsung Galaxy S9 Compatibility

The Galaxy S9 version is designed for the Samsung Galaxy S9 / SM-G960 model family. Samsung's official support pages identify Galaxy S9 variants under the SM-G960 family.

The S9 measures:

147.7 × 68.7 × 8.5mm

and weighs approximately 163g in its original configuration.

Samsung Galaxy S9+ Compatibility

The Galaxy S9+ version is intended for the Samsung Galaxy S9+ / SM-G965 model family. Samsung's support documentation identifies S9+ variants under the SM-G965 family.

The S9+ measures:

158.1 × 73.8 × 8.5mm

and weighs approximately 189g.

Gorilla Glass Rear Design

Samsung confirms that Gorilla Glass 5 is used on the front and rear glass of both the Galaxy S9 and S9+.

A replacement back glass restores the glass-covered rear exterior after physical damage.

Model-Specific Camera Layout

The Galaxy S9 and S9+ have different rear-camera configurations.

The Galaxy S9 uses a single 12MP Super Speed Dual Pixel camera, while the Galaxy S9+ adds a second 12MP telephoto camera to create a dual-camera system.

For this reason, the camera openings on S9 and S9+ replacement back glass are different.

Fingerprint Sensor Opening

Both models use a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Correctly matched replacement glass accommodates the original fingerprint-sensor position beneath the camera assembly.

Suitable for Cracked Back Glass

This replacement is useful when the original rear glass has suffered:

• Cracks
• Shattering
• Chips
• Deep scratches
• Drop damage
• Impact damage
• Heavy cosmetic wear

Maintains the Original Rear Layout

The replacement panel follows the relevant S9 or S9+ rear layout, providing openings around components that need to remain exposed.

Choosing the correct variant is particularly important because the S9+ has a larger chassis and dual rear cameras.

Adhesive Installation

The original back panel is secured to the phone frame with adhesive.

Repair guidance for both devices requires loosening and cutting through this adhesive to remove the old rear glass, followed by new adhesive when installing the replacement.

Professional Installation Recommended

Replacing rear glass requires the phone to be opened. Care is particularly important because the fingerprint-sensor flex cable remains connected when the rear panel is initially lifted.

Professional installation is therefore recommended to minimize the risk of damaging internal components.

Water-Resistance Consideration

The Galaxy S9 and S9+ originally carried an IP68 rating.

However, opening the rear housing compromises the original sealing. Repair guidance specifically warns that opening the Galaxy S9+ damages its waterproof sealing unless the adhesive seals are properly replaced.

The original factory water resistance should therefore not be assumed after a back-glass replacement.
