Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Display Replacement Will Cost Around Rs. 45,000

Foldable smartphones are still not very popular and with major technical challenges, repairing these devices is also quite expensive. In particular, since flexible displays are the most important part of a folding smartphone, their screen replacement costs are more expensive than standard smartphones. Less than a week after the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, Samsung recently announced the repair/replacement fee for its new clamshell smartphone in South Korea and the US.

In South Korea, the screen replacement of the Galaxy Z Flip will cost owners a large amount of money up to 753,000 won (around Rs. 45,200). Meanwhile, users in the US will need to spend $499 (around Rs.35,700) for the foldable display and 149 USD (around Rs. 10,600) for the 1.1-inch screen on the back

In comparison, the Galaxy Fold has a significantly bigger secondary screen than the Galaxy Z Flip but has an equivalent replacement fee, although its main screen repair cost is $100 (around Rs. 7,200) more than the Galaxy Z Flip, staying at $599 (around Rs. 42,900). In addition, to replace the glass back of the Galaxy Z Flip, you will also need to spend $99 (around Rs. 7,100).

Like the Galaxy Fold, Samsung will also offer a discount on the first-time screen replacement to Galaxy Z Flip users. Specifically, the screen repair fee of this phone will be reduced to 225,900 won (around Rs. 16,200) in South Korea. In the US, it will cost $119 (around Rs. 8,500), as long as the device is purchased before December 31, 2020.

In comparison, the first screen replacement fee of the Galaxy Z Flip is still cheaper than the Galaxy Fold - currently applied for $149 (around Rs. 10,700). To recall, the Galaxy Z Flip is priced at $600 (around Rs. 43,000) cheaper than the Galaxy Fold, so there's not much difference when it comes to repairing the screens of these two phones.
