Don’t ever drop your Galaxy S6 Edge. If you do then you’re in for some trouble because the screen damage could end up costing you $200.
In some cases the price might go up to $260. A mid-range phone costs that much. This curved glass isn’t covered under warranty.
The glass of Edge’s display is curved downward on both sides. Even Samsung believe that the price is very high for the screen changing service.
The Samsung Service and Support confirm that the price could go higher after inspection by the service techs. The main reason why the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge screens doesn’t come under warranty is because Samsung buys these screens and they have to pay a high price for each screen.
Samsung could be subsidizing the screens to keep the price of the phone down. Some techs believe that after inspection the highest price the user could end up paying could go north of $300.
Never ever drop your Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge because there have been drop tests and the results are really bad for the Samsung flagship phone. The scores were even worse than the iPhone 6.
You will need to go to Samsung to get the broken screen fixed because there are no third party shops that would look into it because they don’t have the required skills to handle the screen.
There is a Samsung-certified repair shop called the Cell Phone Repair. This shop is located in Mountain View, California. This shop will change the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge screen for $259.
The proprietors from the shop believe that parts of the phone can be bought from off brand suppliers for as low as $170. But this doesn’t includes the labor cost.
After the labor cost the phone screen will probably end up in the range of $260. So our suggestion is that you should buy the strongest phone case there is. Even if it costs you a $100 you should definitely buy it.
