Samsung stands as one of the largest mobile phone brands globally and holds a significant position in Nigeria, trailing only behind Transsion (which includes TECNO, Infinix, and itel). While Samsung is renowned for its high-quality displays, the cost of replacing a Samsung phone screen often raises eyebrows. If you’ve ever needed to replace your Samsung display, you understand this concern well.
Many people agree that Samsung produces some of the best phone displays in the industry. Even Apple sources display from Samsung for its iPhone models, which gives credence to Samsung’s display quality. However, this quality comes at a price, leading many to question whether the investment is worth it.
A recent comment from someone on Facebook captures a common concern: “The number one fear of anyone trying to buy a phone in Nigeria today is the price of Samsung phone screens.” He suggested that Samsung should address this issue to compete effectively with Chinese brands.
Additionally, many Samsung phone owners have reported display issues, such as green vertical lines appearing randomly on their screens without any drops or falls. This problem escalates over time, prompting questions about the durability and quality of Samsung’s displays. For example, a friend with a Samsung Galaxy S21 now faces a nearly entirely covered screen due to this issue.
Considering these factors, it is becoming increasingly hard to justify owning or getting a Samsung phone. This is especially true when you consider the fact that most people in Nigeria are not high income earners. As such, they will more often than not settle for mid range phones. It is in this mid range that Samsung fails to out deliver its competitors with a similar price tag. If Samsung should lower the replacement costs for their smartphone screens, there is a high probability they would attract more buyers Would a more affordable screen repair price influence your decision to purchase a Samsung smartphone?
