Screen repair options S8

TiGeR KiNgS

Hi.

Stupidly I dropped my S8 today and the screen is cracked.
I dont have insurance and bought the phone around October last year.

What are my options and what does this forum recommend ?


Thanks

I assume Galaxy S8?

Looks expensive to repair, with parts costing $283.60.

Maybe cheaper on aliexpress but parts might not be as good of quality.

DIY Job looks complicated.

[ifixit] Samsung Galaxy S8 Screen Replacement

Also expensive for a repair shop: -

[celticrepairs.ie] Samsung Galaxy s8 Screen Repair
€325.00 ~~ Samsung Galaxy s8 – Model SM-G950F

^^^ Price around some repair shops, if your in Cork i use the following store in the past (not a screen replacement): -

What about selling it "as is" and buying a new one?
Might cost a bit more, but the price has dropped recently eg on Amazon.

Anyhow might be worthwhile looking into.
