Cracked glass Galaxy S8 - replacement of the glass or the entire display?

Question

Hello, my Galaxy S8 fell out of my hand on the street yesterday. The lower part of the right side collapsed. The touch works 100% and everything is fine. I was in the service and they told me it is better to replace the entire display but the cost is high. I would like to know if in this case it...

They recommended it because they want to earn more, if the display is working properly, why replace it if the glass is broken.

If it is good now, nothing will change visually after replacing the glass itself.

I thought so too, the price is 820. When I asked if you can just fast, they immediately said that someone does it, but then it is not fully functional. In what price range is the replacement of the glass profitable?

tino2003 · Answer

In this model, the entire complete display with touch must be replaced.
Price as price, high for our terms, so often customers buy another cheaper phone model instead of repairing the broken one.
In your case, the best option is to get used to it and use it as it is.

In this case, it is not about technical efficiency, because the fast itself has nothing to do. It's more about the durability of the new (interchangeable) lens, which will break again with a slight tap. Just keep it away from water and don't use it in the rain.

Even if I replaced the glass and gave it a tempered glass, it won't do anything?

... if it is possible to replace the glass at all, without breaking the display, the glass may cause the touch to malfunction (blind spots or registering phantom touches). I skip such issues as the quick replacement may go away, my stains / shadows appear on the display. On the other hand, the replacement of the glass is PLN 60-100, if it does not work, you will replace the display (unless they break it when replacing and there will be no exit).

So I have nothing to do with replacing the display ... Nothing. Thanks so much for your help

In this model, the touch is not on the glass. And why not? if someone does it without a clue, then yes. If they beat him, they should replace the display at their expense, after all, they damaged it? Added after 34 : This is the best solution

You flowed a bit with the prices. Replacing glass in bent screens costs around PLN 500-700-800. The glass itself generally has no effect on the performance of the device and touch. If everything is done correctly, it will work, and durability should not be any worse. The quality is different and it all depends on who and how to do it, how to separate the old pane, etc. These screens are quite flexible so it happens that during the separation it folds, which is later visible after gluing.

tzok · Answer

In fact, they count a lot, because the fast itself is about PLN 50, but the exchange is about PLN 300. PLN 800 is already a display replacement.

blahfff · Answer

The cost of the equipment that is needed to easily disassemble it, clean it, glue it, used materials, etc. In addition, the risk that the procedure will fail or the process will have to be repeated for some reason. The fact that these displays are quite flexible doesn't mean they are more durable - it's even easier to damage them. PLN 300 for an exchange in this type of phone is quite a low price. 800 PLN for a new, original S8 display (factory-glued to the frame, etc.) with the exchange also true, quite a low price. When mentioning some shadows or dead areas, it could be concluded that you stayed with this topic a few years ago, where everything was flat and the touch screen was glued to the frame on the edges because such miracles were mainly there. Then such prices are actually heavily out of space.

I replaced the glass itself here No problems.

GothPony · Answer

You can always replace the entire display for about 800 and resell the old LCD on the Allegro or some company that deals with LCD regeneration for about PLN 250. You get a new LCD for around 550, you better not get it done.

Kloor203 · Answer

I didn't even know you could do that. Nice thing, but I don't know where I could return the old display. Do you think that every GSM service can accept one? It would be great if you gave me a company that would take it. Thanks

What is this nonsense they write :O

Replacing the glass itself in such a phone is not a problem for our service or other decent service.

We separate the screen and glue it very much like the factory.
There are no signs of glass replacement. I paste everything on the Samsung factory tapes.

greetings

GothPony · Answer

Oh, I can see that some Janusz service has responded And you probably have the original Samsung glass grill glas 5 and you give a 2-year warranty like the manufacturer? And after the replacement, the manufacturer's warranty will be preserved? Save the man the trouble and do not force your services because even if you wash your guts, you will not replace the glass itself so that it would be like in the original and you will not be waterproof. Only replacing the entire LCD with a frame will give the right effect and the phone will be like new, not on Chinese glasses. I'm not saying that you are doing wrong, but it's better to pay extra about PLN 100 and have the original full set from the manufacturer. Nobody will ever replace the glass itself so that it would be like in the original.

gathor10 · Answer

Well, buddy Janusz ... A typical example of a beetroot, which will pound na?ve people who do not know each other. You want to advertise, do it to him for free and let him give you a rating here in the forum, you will have a great free publicity. Just don't say any more that you use original Samsung tapes, because there aren't any. These screens are not taped. I have had a Samsung service for 6 years and these tapes ended with the S6 edge model when it comes to models with a curved screen and S7 in flat ones.

rabus40 · Answer

I can see that the experts themselves Nobody advertises here, I wanted to send my friend to every better GSM service greetings

I can say a lot about Samsung. I would even say much more than much.
