We've apparently come a long way from the days of the $600 OLED screen repairs, as, even though it's foldable and with an active S Pen digitizer layer, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 display replacement now costs less than the screen repair of the Z Fold 2, its predecessor.
Actually, the display replacement prices of the two are now one and the same, but the Z Fold 2 used to start from $599, and that's without the digitizer, S Pen support, and 80% screen durability improvements.
How much is the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 display replacement price?
- Galaxy Z Fold 3 display repair price: $549
- Galaxy Z Flip 3 display repair price: $369
Well, it turns out that both the Z Fold 3 and the Z Flip 3 are cheaper for display replacement than their predecessors. We already noted that the Z Fold 3 vs Z Fold 2 display replacement went down to $549 at launch, while the Z Flip 3 display price is down by the whopping $130 - from $499 to $369.
Compare these with the Galaxy S21 Ultra, though, whose display costs $289 to replace, and the Z Fold 3/Flip 3 screen replacement price is suddenly an issue.
Samsung does give one preferential display replacement price of $149 by year's end, plus if you take the iPhone 12 Pro Max, for instance, whose rear panel costs $599 to swap out of warranty, those tags start to seem palatable considering they are for foldable phones.
