Samsung announced its self-repair program in partnership with iFixit last year, starting in the US in August with support for seven devices: the Galaxy S20 and S21 flagships (minus the FE models) and the Galaxy Tab S7+. Today, the company adds five new devices to the program.
The Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra are now covered, owners can get replacement display assemblies, back panels and charging ports for them. The S22 is about to turn 1 year and its US warranty is about to expire (unless you bought extra protection with Samsung Care+).
A quick look at the prices shows that the charging port costs $67, as does the rear glass panel. Please note that the package includes not only the replacement part, but also all the tools you will need.
The displays vary in price: a new Galaxy S22 display is $167, the S22+ is $190, the S22 Ultra display is $240.
In addition to smartphones, Samsung has added two laptops to its self-repair program: the Galaxy Book Pro 15″ and the Galaxy Book Pro 360 15″. There are seven components: case front, case back, display, battery, touchpad, power key with fingerprint reader, and rubber foot.
Auto Repair Kits for Galaxy S22 and Galaxy Book Pro devices are available for purchase in the US starting today. iFixit has detailed teardown guides, this page has the relevant details.
“The Self-Repair program has exceeded our expectations and we hear a resounding message: people want more models. Enterprise customers, in particular, have told us they need PC solutions. People want to get more out of their devices and need durable products that last. Samsung is committed to offering support options that meet their needs.” said Mark Williams, vice president of customer support at Samsung Electronics America.
