Modern smartphones have become an integral part of our lives, and their failure often causes stress and inconvenience. Phone repair is not only a technical process, but also a financial issue, especially when it comes to flagship models like the Samsung S25 Ultra and S24 Ultra.
These two devices, although similar at first glance, have significant differences in design and components that affect the complexity and cost of repair. In this article, we’ll take a look at the key aspects of repairing these two models, compare their features, and determine what changes in the S25 Ultra have made the job more difficult or easier for technicians.
1. Features of screen replacement
Screen replacement is one of the most common services in service centers, as it is the display that most often suffers from drops and mechanical damage.
Both the Samsung S24 Ultra and Samsung S25 Ultra smartphones are equipped with advanced Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. However, there are some important differences in manufacturing technology and repair costs.
The main features of the Samsung S25 Ultra screen :
- Improved brightness up to 3000 nits versus 2600 nits in the S24 Ultra.
- Use of Gorilla Glass Armor 2 innovation, which is even more scratch resistant than Armor glass .
- Thinner bezels, which makes the device even more vulnerable to shock.
2. S25 Ultra screen replacement prices compared to S24 Ultra
As with the S24 Ultra, the Samsung S25 Ultra has a cheaper version of the bezel-less screen.
Surprisingly, the estimated price of replacing the display in the S25 Ultra (SM-S938B) is cheaper than the previous model.
This is according to the Masterphone Service Center:
- Replacing the original Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra screen (touchscreen with display – part code GH82-36588A) will cost approximately from 9000 UAH to 10000 UAH
- While the current replacement price of the Samsung S24 Ultra screen Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (touchscreen with display partcodes GH82-33402A GH82-33385A) now costs 11900 UAHin the MasterFon Service Center .The difference in the price of replacing the screen is primarily due to the lower wholesale price from the Samsung wholesale warehouse for the sale of Samsung S25 Ultra screens.
Therefore, it is not yet evening and, as often happened before, the wholesale price can suddenly increase by 40-50%.
3. Samsung S25 Ultra screen replacement procedure
Unfortunately, the replacement work itself has become more expensive because the screen repair procedure has become more complicated.
This is due to the use of the latest technology and a more complex display design, which is now integrated with more sensors.
In addition, the S25 Ultra has a new layer of moisture protection, which makes it more difficult to remove the old screen and install a new one.
The main steps to replace the screen include:
- Dismantling the back cover and battery.
- Disconnect the cables connecting the display to the motherboard.
- Clean the bezel from glue residue.
- Install the new screen and test it.
After replacing the screen, it is important to check the operation of the touch layer, brightness, and color reproduction, as even minor damage during installation can lead to defects.
4. Is it possible to replace the copy screens for Samsung S25 ULTRA?
The phone has just gone on sale and the market is waiting for the original screens to appear, so we are not talking about copy screens yet.
But according to testing of copy screens for S24 ultra – we can note that 20-30% cost savings when replacing a copy instead of the original are not worth the significantly reduced quality.
Therefore, only original screens are recommended for installation in case of a broken display for S24 ultra.
5. Is it possible to replace the glass for Samsung S25 ULTRA?
Yes, the S24 ultra and S25 ultra phones have a flat shape and if only the glass is broken, there are no special obstacles to replacing the glass separately.
But the screens have a film structure and therefore the glass replacement procedure is difficult and troublesome.
The approximate price of replacing the glass for Samsung S25 Ultra is 1700-1900 UAH
The price of replacing the glass for Samsung S24 Ultra is 1750 UAH
A plastic insert at the bottom of the screen can be an obstacle to replacing the glass.
Because, for example, for S24 Ultra, very often when the glass breaks, the screen itself stops working
In case of breakdown of any Samsung phone, you will always be helped in the service center Masterphone.
