Samsung’s Latest Galaxy Z Foldables Are Now Self-Repairable

Launched back in 2022, Samsung’s Self-Repair program expanded its reach to a number of European countries earlier this year, as well as to South Korea and Brazil. Now the smartphone maker has announced that the program is expanding to more countries in Europe and that it’s adding a host of new devices to the list, including foldables for the first time. That’s right, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 with broken displays and more can now be repaired without sending them away.

New Models Added To The List

It’s not just the latest foldables that can now be repaired in the comfort of your home, Samsung is adding many of its most recent products to the list including the likes of the Galaxy Tab S9 series, the Galaxy S23 series, and even the Galaxy Book 2 Pro series of laptops. It seems that Samsung is getting serious about giving its customers the ability to repair their devices without needing to send their broken phones, tablets, or laptops to an official Service Center.

What Issues Can Be Self-Repaired?

Whether its a broken display, cracked rear panel, or issues with the charging port, control buttons, SIM tray, or even the speaker, those with eligible Galaxy smartphones or tablets will be able to access a self-repair kit to fix the problem. Those with laptop issues will be able to repair the front and rear case, display, battery, touchpad, power key with fingerprint reader, rubber feet, fan, and speakers by themselves with the appropriate repair kit. It’s a pretty comprehensive list of replacement parts for the Galaxy Book series of laptops, leaving only the keyboard, hard drive, and motherboard that need to be replaced by a technician.

Expanding To More Countries

Expanding to a further 30 countries, Samsung’s Self-Repair program collaborates with a variety of distributors to sell self-repair kits such as iFixit in the US and offering Rexio Care kits on its own web store in Europe.

The following European countries have been added to the Self-Repair program:

While not everything can be repaired at home, most of the common issues seem to be self-repairable. Each Self-Repair Kit will include the necessary tools to complete the task so you don’t need to source them yourselves, avoiding further inconvenience.
