Samsung smartphones have always featured gorgeous displays, and with the introduction of the Infinity Display design language with the Galaxy S8 that has also carried over to the Galaxy Note 8,
Samsung has really allowed these beautiful screens to shine through. As good as these phones look, there is now an element of fragility to them though. All it takes is one bad angle and the cost, if you do end up having to repair something like the glass up front, is unfortunately not very cheap.
Today, we take a look at approximately how much it may cost to fix the display, or even for a full Galaxy Note 8 screen replacement.
Honest answer – it’s going to vary depending on the market, repair shop, and so forth. At least for now, the best place to get a Note 8 screen replacement will be directly from Samsung, but we anticipate more repair shops will eventually offer fixes as well — and therefore the pricing should go down as a result. For now, the average price to fix a Note 8 display seems to be around the $250 – $350 mark.
Screen Assure – Australia
Samsung in Australia is one of the only ones to offer an official estimate for Note 8 screen replacement costs, and unsurprisingly, it is a hefty AUD 260, assuming that there is no additional damage beyond just a cracked screen. Of course, the best way to find out how much repairing your phone will cost you is to contact Samsung service centers to get a quote for your particular situation.
Samsung Australia does have a very useful offer in place though if you are worried that you may ending up damaging your screen called “Screen Assure.” With this offer, if you buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 before October 31 and register your device on MySamsung by November 14, you can then enjoy a complimentary Galaxy Note 8 screen replacement within the first 12 months.
All you have to do is open and sign in to the MySamsung app on the phone, tap on the “Rewards” icon in the bottom navigation bar, and select “Register now” on the Screen Assure promo card. Your registration may take up to 48 hours to be validated. Keep in mind though that is a limited time promotional offer, and you are only eligible to avail this promo if you buy the phone by the end of this month. If you have already decided to buy the Galaxy Note 8, now is definitely the best time to do so.
