Samsung Galaxy S8+ screen replacement to cost dearly

Yordan 26 April 2017 Samsung Android
The Galaxy S8+ is one gorgeous device and that Infinity screen plays no small part of that. However, it's also a very expensive piece so you better be careful with it - the replacement are going to be more expensive than ever.


If you manage to break it, replacing the display at an authorized repair center will set you back €250. That is 25% higher than the Galaxy S7 edge where the screen costed €200 to be replaced.


This means you better have a firm grip or a nice case because sometimes the Gorilla Glass 5 won't be enough. And if you are particularly clumsy, you might want to invest in one of those insurance programs.

Samsung Galaxy S8 (Verizon/unlocked) currently going for under $700 in US

Himanshu 27 April 2017 Samsung Android Deals
If you are planning to purchase Samsung's latest flagship (the Galaxy S8), you'll be glad to know that the device is currently available at discounted rates in the country. Specifically, the Verizon/unlocked variant is currently going for under $700 - $699.99.


eBay retailer alldayzip (a Top Rated Plus retailer) is offering the handset at that price. If you compare, that's a discount of $56 given that Verizon is officially selling the phone for $756.

As of writing, the listing says more than 91% of the stock has been sold, and only Midnight Black color option is available (rest all are out of stock). So, those interested in availing the deal may have to act really fast.

it's interesting how some people took the word right out of your mouth when u wanted to reply them =D

Different production batch would cause different colour characteristic, typically with LCD it is minimal, but it seem like it would affect AMOLED more. Obviously since they are the same display, only one factory colour calibration setting is used, which causes some other batches to have different white point. This is common even in bigger monitors like Dell ultra sharp series. Even iPhone has 2 screen tone on certain models, one being warmer than the other. All they need to do is a way to id the panel batch and use another calibration setting that will make the white point consistent, or give us 2 colour profile for us to choose, depending on the panel characteristic

I just turn it off completely

WiFi problem? Do elaborate

Kingston always spoil on me, they never last

All screen warranty only first year, 2 year extended warranty does not cover screen replacement

If for in car recording, better just get a dash cam as 24/7 recording a Gear 360 file is going to be big and a hassle to clear it everyday. Plus, if 360 you're going to see yourself too in the recording, not just the road, lol

Haha that's why they ask you to stay until night at your office

Plus no discount whatsoever

Stop asking this question already, use the search function on the earlier threads, (I'll add this in the FAQ)

Fast sale, not profit sale

Tell me what flagship phone can sell at RM2700 after 1 year? People are selling their S7Edge (SRP RM3099) however nowadays can get RM2500 for a new one. No way you can sell it for RM2700 this time next year. Probably RM2000 maybe

No lah, there was quite a fuss in the S7E threads about the GPS failing after an update

Yep, I noticed it too
