August 21, 2025
Unfortunately, there may come a time when you’ll need to know aboutSamsung Galaxy S10repairs. You might drop your phone and crack the glass and have to figure out the best way to fix it up good as new.
That scenario might be unlikely for you, but if you find yourself cracking glass often on your smartphones you might want to work extra hard to not break it on yourSamsung Galaxy S10,S10 Plus, orS10e. That’s because the prices for Samsung Galaxy S10 repairs are the most expensive yet for any Samsung device (viaPhone Arena).

However, the repair prices are still cheaper than the same repairs for the Apple iPhone X,iPhone XS, andiPhone XS Max. So at least you’ve got that to make you feel better.
Check out the repair prices here:
For the sake of comparison, the repair costs for theSamsung Galaxy Note 9are $239 for the front panel and $99 for the rear glass.
However, the repair prices for the latest batch of Apple iPhones are almost universally worse, especially when it comes to the back panel:

It should be mentioned that both Apple and Samsung offer protection plans to help consumers avoid these repair costs by fixing anything for a $99 deductible. Apple Care covers all manners of phone issues and costs $9.99 per month, while Samsung Premium Care does the same but costs $11.99 per month. So, in a sense, Apple is undercutting Samsung in this regard.
Still, those are some expensive repairs. It really shows the incentive of keeping your smartphone in a protective case.
