A few days back. Samsung officially announced the Galaxy Z Flip3 and the Galaxy Z Fold3. The handsets bring minor, yet effective upgrades over their predecessors. Now, as the company has opened pre-orders for these smartphones in some counties, it has also revealed the price for their replacement displays.
According to a report by The Verge, the replacement screens for the inner foldable displays of the Galaxy Z Flip3 and the Galaxy Z Fold3 cost $369 and $469 respectively in the US. In other words, one can buy a Pixel 5a ($449) for the price of fixing a Galaxy Z Fold3’s broken foldable display.
We know that this comparison is lame but this gives you an idea of how expensive the repair costs are. On the bright side, the replacement screens for the external cover display are cheaper. It costs $99 and $149 for the Galaxy Z Flip3 and the Galaxy Fold3 respectively.
It is worth noting that the above-mentioned prices are only meant for devices that are out of warranty or got damaged by a factor that’s not covered under the warranty period.
Customers can subscribe to the Samsung Care Plus plan, which costs $12.99 to save on repair costs. This plan not only gives two more years of warranty but also three screen repairs per year.
Last but not least, Samsung charges $499 and $549 to repair the foldable displays on the Galaxy Z Flip and the Galaxy Z Fold2. This means the company has actually reduced the price for the repairs of its latest foldable smartphones, just like their price tags.
