Doesn’t that require a much higher temperature than most beds would be able to safely achieve.
I had to take the screen off of a Pixel not terribly long ago to replace the battery. I used a heat gun and I remember it requiring a temperature of like… 240C° or some such? And when I’m printing PLA, my printer bed only gets to 60C°. (Not saying it couldn’t go higher, but 240C° seems way higher than 60C°.)
What I’ve used for this purpose is one of these. And I can attest that 60C° is nowhere near high enough to set that kind of thing for purposes of getting a Google Pixel 3a off safely.
But I bet ThetaDev is right that a flat plate heater can work just as well when set to lower temperatures because they heat the whole screen at one time.

You are thinking about a soldering plate? Those go up to 300°C or some times 400°C.
A phone screen is fixed with hot glue, that starts to melt around 60°C.

90 degrees was the spec for this job. 240 is way too high.
