Samsung S8+ Screen Replacement

1. Original 6.2" AMOLED Display Replacement

The Galaxy S8+ features a 6.2-inch Quad HD+ Super AMOLED curved display. A screen replacement includes the front glass, digitizer, and full display panel to restore original visuals and responsiveness.

2. Full Display Assembly vs. Glass Only

If the display still works but the outer glass is cracked, a glass-only replacement is cheaper. However, for issues like ghost touch, screen burn, or dead pixels, a full AMOLED replacement is necessary.

3. OEM AMOLED vs LCD Screens

Avoid LCD replacements as they offer inferior brightness, touch accuracy, and color. Choose OEM Super AMOLED to retain Samsung’s original visual quality and curved screen experience.

4. Samsung Authorized Repair Cost

At Samsung-certified repair centers, S8+ screen replacement may cost between $200–$260 USD, depending on location and whether you're under warranty.

5. Local Shop Pricing in Kenya

In Nairobi, repair shops like Phone Repair Kenya and FKAY Smartphones offer S8+ screen replacement services for around KSh 10,500 to 15,000, using OEM or high-grade parts.

6. DIY Repair Kits Available Online

You can purchase a DIY replacement kit with tools, adhesive, and a screen for $100–$150 USD. However, proper skill and caution are required due to the curved-edge screen and fragile components.

7. Repair Duration

Professional technicians can typically complete a Galaxy S8+ screen replacement in 1 to 2 hours, including adhesive curing and display testing.

8. Water Resistance Warning

The S8+ originally has IP68 water resistance, but this is compromised after screen replacement unless professionally resealed with waterproof adhesive and pressure tested.

9. Post-Repair Functionality

A quality screen replacement restores all key functions, including touch response, brightness control, curved edge features, and fingerprint swipe gestures—if OEM parts are used.

10. Warranty and Service Assurance

Most local shops offer 3 to 6 months warranty on screen replacements. Samsung-certified repairs may provide extended warranty and original quality assurance.
