Samsung and Fixit have launched their repair program that lets Galaxy S20, S21, and Tab S7 Plus owners buy replacement parts for their devices and access guides on how to do DIY fixes. The program still has most of the caveats that my colleague Umar Shakir pointed out when it was announced in March<\/a> \u2014 it\u2019s not launching with parts for Samsung\u2019s latest flagship devices<\/a> and there\u2019s a limited number of repairs you can do \u2014 but it\u2019s good to see that at least some Galaxy owners will now be able to do their own repairs at home. Samsung also says it\u2019s planning to expand the devices and types of repairs that are covered in the future.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be able to buy the parts and tools for screen, back glass, and charging port replacements through iFixit as well as at Samsung retail and service locations, according to Samsung\u2019s news post on Tuesday<\/a>. If you buy a display replacement kit, you\u2019ll also get a return shipping label to send the old parts back for recycling. <\/p>\n

As for pricing, Samsung says consumers will pay the same price for parts as its \u201caffiliated repair providers\u201d do. Jordan Guthmann, a PR representative for the company, shared a chart with prices, noting that they were subject to change. You can view the full chart below, but here\u2019s a few examples to give you a general idea; an S20 display assembly will cost $199.99; the back glass will cost $69.99; and the charging port assembly costs $59.99. For the S21 Ultra, the back glass and charger cost the same as they do for the S20, while the display assembly costs $232.99.<\/p>\n
