The Samsung S10 Edge was first released less than a year ago, and many users are having issues already with broken and cracked screens. In fact, it was the worst ranking phone in Square Trade's bendability test - This means that the screen bends often, breaking the glass. Repairing a broken screen is obviously not possible, so it must be replaced. In this guide we will explain the methods of cracked Samsung S10 OLED touch screen repairing.
Unfortunately, you cannot use your warranty to pay for the replacement. Samsung has been quoted as charging over 200 US dollars for the job - extremely expensive! You might as well just buy a new device for that price. Normally, the cost of fixing a broken screen is only around 100 US dollars. You can try to do it not with Samsung but through a private repair shop - the prices are usually much lower. Unfortunately, this means that your warranty will be voided. Furthermore, the quality of the parts offered and of the repairing itself is not as reliably good as if done through the official means offered by Samsung.
Finally, you can attempt to repair the device yourself. This would be the cheapest option, but please take into account that a special machine is necessary if you need to replace the OLED touch screen. Even if you only need to replace the broken glass from the OLED screen. However, If you just have to change the broken glass, and you can do it by yourself, you would save a lot of money. A replacement glass is only perhaps 20 US dollars, or less.
If you do choose to attempt the repair yourself, you have to be extremely careful when purchasing the replacement parts. Nowadays there are many scams and fake sellers that sell you old, broken or straight up wrong part. You need to use the most well known replacement part shops online - it'll only take you a few minutes to find trustworthy ones with a quick Google search, and you could potentially avoid getting scammed for your money.
Most importantly, though, make sure that you have access to the necessary tools and equipment required for the extraction of the broken glass. It's a difficult job with a high skill ceiling, so do not attempt it if you are not an expert. You should make sure that you have some phone repairing experience or the help of someone who does because it might not be as easy and straightforward as you think. No matter what you choose, good luck!
