Samsung’s self-repair program has made its way to the United Kingdom and several other European countries, following its successful launch in the United States last year. The program offers users access to the necessary tools and components for repairing supported devices, such as the Galaxy S20, S21, and S22 smartphones, as well as the Galaxy Book Pro regular and Galaxy Book Pro 360 laptops.
Samsung’s President and Head of Mobile eXperience, TM Roh, stated, “Samsung is dedicated to extending the lifespan of our devices, encouraging users to enjoy the optimized performance of their Galaxy device for as long as possible. We are committed to expanding access to our Self-Repair program worldwide and enhancing the repairability of our products.”
The self-repair program will be available not only in the UK but also in Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and Sweden. While Samsung partnered with iFixit for the US market, the sales and distribution of repair kits in Europe will be handled by parts distributors ASWO and 2Service. The program is already operational in certain European regions and will expand to other areas, including the UK, by the end of June.
Owners of the Galaxy S20, S21, and S22 series will have the option to replace various components of their smartphones, such as the screen, back glass, and charging ports. For Galaxy Book Pro owners, seven parts will be available, including the case front, case rear, display, battery, touchpad, power key with fingerprint reader, and rubber feet.
To assist users, Samsung provides dedicated support through instructional videos and other resources on a dedicated support page. Repair kits are priced at approximately €30 in Germany, while the specific pricing for the UK has yet to be disclosed. In Germany, for example, a Galaxy S20 charging port and back panel cost around €50, while the display is priced at €200. The cost increases for newer and high-end models, reaching €310 for the Galaxy S22 Ultra display.
