Samsung Electronics Service said on the 2nd that it has further expanded the number of service centers offering standalone display repairs for foldable phones.
Unlike replacing the entire display, standalone display repair is an advanced service that precisely disassembles components such as the display parts, bezel, and case, and selectively replaces only the parts that need changing.
The locations newly offering standalone repairs this time are the service centers in Masan, South Gyeongsang, and Yeongju, North Gyeongsang. With this, standalone display repairs for foldable phones are now available at 160 of 169 service centers nationwide.
After becoming the first in the industry in 2024 to offer standalone display repairs for foldable phones at 13 service centers, Samsung has steadily expanded the service and now provides it at most service centers. In the industry, only Samsung offers standalone repairs.
Because service engineers use specialized equipment to finely disassemble components and then reassemble them through a micro process, the work takes on average more than twice as long compared with replacing components wholesale.
Customers can reduce repair costs by maximizing the reuse of usable parts, while also mitigating electronic waste emissions.
Customer response has remained positive in the two years since the standalone repair service was introduced. The number of customers using the service in 2025 increased more than fivefold compared with 2024. The cumulative repair cost savings achieved through standalone repairs exceeds 8 billion won.
Executive Director Park Sung-je, head of the technology team at Samsung Electronics Service, said, "We will continue to deliver the services customers need in their daily lives."
