Samsung Galaxy phones have beautiful screens – and when one cracks, you notice it straight away. Lines, black patches or a touchscreen that reacts by itself all mean the display needs replacing. Here is what to expect.
How long does it take?
A Samsung screen replacement typically takes 45 to 60 minutes. You can wait in the shop or explore the Nieuwmarkt area in the meantime. Battery replacements on Samsung take about 30 to 45 minutes.
Will the fingerprint sensor still work?
Most Galaxy phones have the fingerprint reader under the screen. With original and OEM screens, that in-display fingerprint scanner keeps working fully. We tell you in advance what to expect for your model, so there are no surprises.
Signs your Samsung screen needs replacing
- Cracked glass, even if the image still looks fine – cracks spread and let moisture in.
- Green or pink lines, black spots or a flickering image.
- Touch that does not respond, or "ghost touches" that open apps by themselves.
- A screen that lifts at one side – that can be a swollen battery: stop charging it and bring it in.
What does it cost?
Every Galaxy model has its own fixed price, including the part, labour and VAT, shown before we start. See Samsung screen repair prices per model or the Samsung repair page. No cure, no pay, and a 1-year warranty on the part we replace.
Your data
A screen replacement does not touch your photos and apps. If the phone still works, make a backup first anyway – see our 5-minute backup checklist.
