As you probably know already, Samsung phones, accessories, replacement parts, or anything that carries the Samsung logo do not come cheap. And thanks to a report by GSMArena, we now know how much you’d have to shell out to replace a broken or damaged screen of your Samsung Galaxy S10 smartphone. Albeit the Galaxy S10 display is protected out-of-the-box with the sixth version of Corning’s Gorilla Glass, life does happen. Even with a tapered glass and extra meticulousness, smartphones’ screens do break [when you least expect]. Samsung is yet to release the official repair cost for all countries but for residents of Australia, the official Recommended Retail Pricing (RRP) for the Galaxy S10 screen replacement is AUD $300 (~ USD $213, UGX 789,000, NGN 77,000).

Taiwan’s screen replacement costs have also been announced, though. It costs TWD 6450 (~ USD $210) to repair a Galaxy S10 display in the region. As reported, the high cost of screen replacement are attributed to some properties of the Galaxy S10 display: HDR10+, punch-hole cutout, under-display fingerprint etc. Interestingly, the Galaxy S10 screen repair costs are not the most expensive in the world; the iPhone XS Max’s screen is — USD $368.

The expensive cost of replacing a damaged Galaxy S10 screen. Crazy expensive, yeah? To avoid spending the money you could use to purchase a brand new mid-range smartphone on replacing just a phone’s display, you should be extra careful with the way you handle your device. You might want to invest in an external tampered glass protection for your display too.
