A few days ago, Apple officially took the wraps off its iPhone 12 series smartphones and entered the new 5G era as all the four models launched by the company come with support for 5G communication.

While the smartphones from the tech giant come with a limited one-year warranty, it does not cover accidental damages. And the most likely part of the phone to get damaged is the display or screen. So, the company has now officially revealed the screen replacement cost of the newly launched iPhone 12 models.

Apple has confirmed that the screen repair for the iPhone 12 will cost $279 in the United States, which is the same cost applicable for the iPhone 12 Pro as well. In China, the company will be charging 2,149 yuan, which is about $321.

So far, the company has not revealed the screen replacement or repair cost for the iPhone 12 Mini and the iPhone 12 Pro Max variants.

However, if you have purchased the AppleCare+ protection plan, then it covers the screen repair cost and you’ll just have to pay the service fee which is $29 in the USA. The pricing for the AppleCare+ starts at $149 for the iPhone 12 and 12 Mini models while for the Pro models, it increases by $50.  All one-time AppleCare+ plan offers coverage for two years.

Huawei recently started selling the Huawei Mate X in China, which is the company’s first foldable smartphone that was first unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain in February this year.

Now, weeks after the device is available for purchase in the market, the Chinese giant has now announced pricing for repairing and different parts of the smartphone. Among all of them, the screen replacement is the costliest.

While it makes sense that the screen replacement is the costliest given that the smartphone has a foldable display, but the pricing is very high. The company reveals that the screen replacement on the Huawei Mate X will cost whooping 7,080 yuan, which roughly converts to $1,007.

Apart from that, it seems that the battery replacement will cost 278 yaun (approximately $40) while the motherboard repair is priced at 3,579 yaun that roughly converts to $509. The camera replacement will cost 698 yuan (approx. $99) to the users.

The Huawei Mate X features a large 8-inch screen with a 2480 x 2200 pixels screen resolution and an 8:7.1 aspect ratio when unfolded with pretty thin bezels. When folded, it transforms into a dual-display phone – one side is a 6.6-inch (2480 x 1148 pixels) 19.5:9 display while the other is a 6.38-inch (2480 x 892 pixels) 25:9 display.

It comes packed with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It has dual SIM support (nano only) but only SIM 1 supports 5G. You can also swap out the second SIM card for Huawei’s NM card up to 256GB. The device also comes with the 7nm Balong 5000 modem which brings 5G support to the device.

The phone runs the EMUI 9.1.1 custom interface, which is based on Android 9 Pie operating system out-of-the-box. As for the connectivity options, the device supports NFC, dual-frequency GPS, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac, and USB Type-C port.

The device has two built-in batteries, which offers a total capacity of 4,500mAh. Huawei has also debuted its new SupercCharge fast charging technology which supports up to 55W. The company claims that the new SuperCharge allows users to charge the device from empty to 85 percent in just 30 minutes.

People often think that buying a smartphone is a one-time large investment, and they are right usually. However, there are times when your large screen smartphone decides to just slip out of your hand and hit the ground. It’s not something anyone would want for their phones, but it happens sometimes and when your phone is brand new and costs nearly $600, things can’t get worse.

Recently, one of the Huawei Mate 9 users in China had such an unfortunate moment. A user recently revealed on social media that his Mate 9’s screen cracked when it fell on the ground. While this was bad, what was even worse was that he had bought this expensive 4499 Yuan ($655) flagship (6GB + 128GB) just 12 hours before this incident happened.

Now usually, you would have to shell out a few hundred dollars replacing the cracked screen on your brand new smartphone, but Huawei Mate 9 users in China need not fret. Huawei is offering Mate 9 users free screen replacement insurance for three months from the date of purchase. So, if you happen to drop your Mate 9 within three months accidentally, the company will offer you a free screen replacement, which sounds like a great deal.
