Galaxy S25 series display repair is cheaper than the S24 series

Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Ultra with the Corning Gorilla Armor 2, which is reportedly more drop-resistant than the Armor glass of the S24 Ultra. But that’s not all: the spare parts for a display repair also cost significantly lower than that of its predecessors, at least in India. Check out the prices in the image below.

Samsung is using the same display panel as last year in all three models, which probably helps the company reduce the costs and also makes the repair more affordable. The back glass repair still sees a slight increase in price. It suggests that the glass doesn’t have to do much with the price cut, rather it’s the display panel that’s making it more affordable.

Motherboard, middle frame, and battery replacements are more expensive

The motherboard also sees a price increase of over Rs. 4000, which is most likely due to the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. Surprisingly, the battery replacement for all S25 models also cost slightly more than their predecessors, even though neither the capacity nor the internal design has changed this year.

The same goes for the middle frame of the base and plus models. The redesigned middle frame of the Galaxy S25 Ultra—one of the few hardware changes—now costs less than that of the S24 Ultra. Was this a cost-cutting move? Just kidding—the main purpose is likely to differentiate it from its predecessor.

In other aspects, the Gorilla Armor 2 of the S25 Ultra has a better anti-reflective coating, which, despite the same peak brightness and HBM, improves outdoor visibility. The new chip offers a higher peak performance and a more capable NPU for faster and more efficient AI processing.

While the battery capacity remains the same, with the more efficient chip and One UI 7’s improved performance optimization, all S25 models offer a decent jump in battery life over their predecessors.
