Chosen Solution
Bought my S7 Edge two weeks ago from a small reseller. Phone was in good condition etc but just today I managed to drop it. Despite having a case, the bottom right corner as a small mark (doesn’t look cracked on the surface) and there’s a few lines going across the bottom of the screen and it flickers very subtly. What I’m wondering is what my options are (UK Resident)? I’ve never damaged a phone this soon after receiving it and I’m not sure what I can do. Don’t know if getting it repaired by a phone repair shop is worth it? Is there any chance I could get Samsung to repair it? How difficult is the repair? I’ve repaired several iPhone 5S screens but I saw a video on YouTube for the S7 and the way the screen is pryed up I’m worried that I’ll cause further damage - if anyone has repaired both of these phones how do they compare in difficulty? Any advice would be great, just want to know my options. Thanks.
The S7 Edge quite frankly sucks to work on. The back is glued down, very well, and its made of glass so you can’t use much force. The battery is right under there, so you can’t go full gorilla with heat either. Then once you finally get the back and battery out, the display is firmly glued to the frame. In my book its one of the worst phones to work on. Compared to a 5S, the 5S is child’s play. Samsung might offer a repair service but its not going to be cheap. The display alone sells for about $300 and no one can get OEM S7 Edge screens right now. So…its kind of a crap time to be working on an S7 Edge. The parts are scarce and expensive and it sucks doing the labor on them. Sorry if I’m a bit harsh but I actually have 3 of these that I’m working on today and I’m a little frustrated at how hard it is to do anything to these phones.
