I still use an unsupported 2018 Asus ZenFone Max (M1) ZB555KL X00PD with a broken screen. I’d like to change the screen.

Measures of the device: 156 x 77.5 x 10.6 mm (6.14 x 3.05 x 0.42 in).

Now, I don’t know if these are standard measurements for a certain set of smartphones (the ones that can be held and used with just one hand) or if any company can choose what size it uses for their devices, making finding a screen that fits incredibly more difficult.

The other question is, how difficult would it be to do it myself?

    There aren’t standardized screens for smartphones, as the inside of the screens typically has a bespoke aluminum chassis they are adhered to as part of their construction.

    And since every single phone model has different insides, every screen is bespoke to its model.

    You have to look on ebay for your phones screen model.

    If you look for ones with a couple dead pixels they are pretty affordable though.
