Here’s how you can repair your Samsung devices yourself.
A new Samsung self-repair programme will allow you to mend your Galaxy phones and tablets yourself in the near future.
Galaxy S20, Galaxy S21, and Galaxy Tab S7 Plus owners in the United States will soon be able to have their smartphones repaired by Samsung. Repair professionals from iFixit will be available to assist you with the replacement of regularly damaged components such as the display and rear glass, as well as USB-C ports. To recycle the old components, just mail them back to Samsung once you’ve completed the repair.
There aren’t any apps for the Samsung Galaxy S22 or Galaxy Tab S8, which is a bummer if you’ve recently upgraded from one of these previous devices. As for the future of Samsung’s product line, the company claims it will grow.
Apple and iFixit collaborated on a similar product last year, which you may have seen. As of its first release, it didn’t provide iPad repairs, but it did include iPhone 13 and 12 fixes. Mending a damaged iPhone provides more value than repairing a broken Samsung since Apple has typically extended longer software support for iPhones and iPads than Samsung does for Galaxy devices.
Repairs at home have become more difficult due to restrictions imposed by large tech corporations. This move is likely in reaction to consumer demand for repair rights and actions taken by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Instead of purchasing a new item, you may extend the life of your current one by repairing it, which reduces the amount of electronic trash created. It’s also more convenient to fix it yourself than to take it to a repair shop, which may be time-consuming.
Although smartphone and tablet repairs are still tricky, you’re best off leaving them to a professional unless you’re already skilled with electronics repair. This new repair project, on the other hand, might be a godsend for those who like repairing electrical devices.
