As part of the program, customers will be able to repair some parts of their Samsung phones. Components that can be replaced by the user as part of the program include the screen, rear glass panel, speakers, charging ports, volume key, and power button. Samsung provides original repair parts for these components.
Samsung will also allow customers to repair their Galaxy Book laptops and replace their battery, screen, the laptop case, speakers, fan, power key with fingerprint scanner, and the touchpad. Users can also retain the tools used to repair their devices, according to Samsung.
