What is Lafos?
The world's first display specifically built for your smartphone.
Portrait Screen Maximised.
Lafos is the world’s first and only smartphone display. It can full-screen the portrait content from your phone onto a vertical screen - that's something no other display can do.
Foolproofly Simple.
We invented Lafos with a heart to bring ease and comfort to people’s lives. It eliminates all the techy complications. You are only one “plug” away from the big screen.
Unprecedented Convenience.
When you watch Reels or TikTok, you could plug the phone into Lafos and instantly enjoy it on a big screen reliably - without the pain of failing to cast or delayed images. That's how smooth the flow is.

5. Does Lafos support my laptop or computer?
No. The current models of Lafos only support smartphones.
6. Does my standard iPhone/USB-C cable work with Lafos?
No. Lafos only work with its own customized cable. Lafos's cable has sets of unique chips built into the tip to ensure video, audio and control signals can stream simultaneously, whereas a standard iPhone/USB-C cable cannot do so. We made one end of the connector different on purpose so our users won't mistakenly use the wrong cable and have to question if the device malfunctioned. If you need additional Lafos cables you could purchase them separately from our shop.
Functionality
1. Does Lafos come with touchscreen ability?
No. The current models of Lafos do not contain touchscreen control within its screen. It is for now strictly a display. You may control your phone using the touchscreen on the phone.
2. Does Lafos contain battery?
No. The current models of Lafos do not contain batteries and require power connection at all times to operate.
3. Can I adjust the volume of Lafos directly from my phone?
Yes. Adjusting your phone's volume will change the volume of Lafos simultaneously.
4. Can I adjust the brightness of Lafos?
No. As for this moment, Lafos does not have a brightness adjustment function. Adjusting your phone's brightness will not change the brightness of the screen.
Content & Display
1. Could Lafos display all the content on my phone such as Hulu & Netflix?
No. It currently does not support Digital Rights Management (DRM) protected content.
Lafos could display most of the content from your phone, such as TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Twitch, Safari, etc. However due to content protection programs enforced by some specific apps, some videos may not be able to be screened to Lafos.
As for the moment these apps include: Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Peacock, Pluto, as well as some other DRM protected content (such as your local cable TV provider). These platforms have been super strict on allowing mirroring off their content as they spent a lot of money into making them. We are no exception. Lafos cannot stream protected content as for this moment.
However, Lafos does support streaming of basically everything else. If you could find your favourite show on a web browser or if you have downloaded the show to your smartphone, Lafos will be able to display them.
If you are not sure whether Lafos supports your favourite app or not, you may check with us by emailing us or messsaging us.
2. Will my phone content always be displayed full-screen on Lafos?
It depends on the display aspect ratio of your phone and the content within. Lafos uses a 16:9 screen. If your phone display is also 16:9 and the content you are playing is 16:9, the content will display in full size on the screen.
For phones of different display aspect ratios, the display will try to maximize the display area automatically, leaving black borders on left and right sides in some cases.
If we stretch the image to further max-out the screen, the content will distort. If we crop the image, information will be lost. To provide the best large-screen viewing experience, we keep the content as it is. Therefore, not all phones will be displayed full-screen at all times.
Delivery
1. When should I expect to receive my Lafos?
Delivery time = Processing time + Shipping time.
Premium shipping generally takes 3-5 days. In some rare cases it could take up to 7 days depending on your shipping location. Processing time may vary based on our stock condition. Typically, the processing time is between 1-3 days, however it can be longer if we run out of stock.
2. If I placed a discounted pre-order a month ago, when should I expect to receive my Lafos?
The estimated delivery date = Estimated ship-out date + Shipping time.
For example, if you placed an order for "pre-order, estimated shipping in March" with the free shipping option, Latest shipping date = March 31st. Shipping time = 23-31 days. You are expected to receive the product between April 23rd - May 1st.
We will try our best to fullfil every order as promised. If you wish to receive it faster you could place orders for the premium shipping option or switch to the in-stock option if it is available.
3. I already placed an order that ships out in March, but I want to switch to the in-stock option, what do I do?
Shoot us an email at support@lafos.com, and let us know your order number. We will reply to you with a link that allows you to fill in the price difference. After that, we will upgrade your order and prioritize your shipping.
4. Estimate delivery time is changed on the website, is my order being delayed?
If you've already placed orders earlier, then no, they aren't delayed.
We schedule order fulfilments based on promised timelines at the time of your purchase. Delivery dates shift over time, the stated time on the website only applies to current orders.
