Quite limited at the moment.
Samsung's site and local redirects don't seem to have much in stock.
Their trade partners either don't sell to private customers (only dealing with businesses), or don't have any parts at all (if dealing with individual customers).
Prices are high as expected, always have been.

This is funny.
Even genuine S6 edge plus screen cost 300 for new part plus cost of repair.
Whole phone dont have value of 400 now. Not even 100 bucks is worth when working properly.
Better to buy new phone than paying expensive repair.

It is not as bad as you make it out to be.
Qualcomm had its bad days and now so does Samsung. Everyone can't always be equally as good as the competition.
Tip: Focus on something productive and don't take stuff so seriously princess.

Anonymous, 19 Jun 2023Why not in Germany? Most likely some local legal problems. The same with eastern countries.

so all countries around portugal but we don't exist...samsung is just disappointing since 2020 that's why my wntire families change to oppo or xiaomi sd cards all in a box even a case nowadays u buy a samsung not only it costs 3 times the price of other phones u have to spend right away another 60 to 70 euros...case ...charger..
screen protection [ in some cases] and the cable they send you is not the one that's top notch for your phone it's sad ....i sell phones too for work i used to advertise samsung electronics...
not anyone now i sell 10 % samsung ridiculous
spain italy bla bla bla portugal nope..
does not matter for the price of a screen u can by a phone most people are regular joe's...we don't need a 1500 euros phone

clean phones and consumers start changing batteries during calls a technically impossible for samsung maybe even harden the security of the phone so that personal information dont leaked what is needed is to visit a server and choose an iso file and boot, the consumer needs to go through a 10 second course to accomplish the impossible

Sealing phones, removing removable batteries, to pretend after to want to "expand self-repair program", of course we believe you, ShameSung.
My last phone from them was the S20 series, after they started to remove even more features like the microSD card (shamefull move).

It would be better if they just ditched their garbage exynos chipset for good. Noone wants it and noone likes it. Exynos is the worst trash ever invented on planet earth. ever.

Edward Coventry, 19 Jun 2023 €50 charging port???this should be charging board,on most samsung phones charging port is not sold separately except few models like s10 which require soldering,thats cheap anyway compared to what apple charges if you want charging flex replacement-they replace whole unit ot whole housing with new mainboard,third party repair shops charges even more-and more likely with non genuine and used parts

50€ charging port, 300€ screen, yeah right lol
Companies pretending they care about repairability for good PR while making it so expensive 99% of people will just buy a new phone as usual

lol sure expands self-repair to Europe :D
Europe is basically forcing self repair on all brands just like all devices need to have type-c charging ports. Also the reason why Apple is going on type-c cause they have no other choice if they want to be in European market. Self repair should be also soon forced on Apple so they cant screw there customers over with high cost repairs cause every part on there devices have a code built in to not work if you dont do it with special tools
