Smartphone: If this phone's screen breaks, you'll be ruined! The repair cost will leave you stunned..
Samsung recently surprised the world by launching its first triple-folding smartphone, the Galaxy Z TriFold, in South Korea. This phone is a unique example of technology and transforms from a phone to a tablet in an instant. Its popularity was so immense that it went "out of stock" within minutes of its launch. However, behind this beauty lies a truth that could be very heavy on your wallet. A recently released report has revealed the repair costs of this phone, and the figures are truly shocking.
Hefty Repair Costs
The Galaxy Z TriFold features a 10-inch folding screen and a 6.5-inch outer display. According to a Gizmochina report, if the outer display of this phone breaks, you don't need to worry too much. The cost is similar to that of older foldable phones, which can range from approximately $90 to $150 (around ₹7,500 to ₹12,000).
But the real shock comes when the phone's main tri-folding screen (the large inner display) is damaged. The cost of replacing this screen is reported to be between 1,657,500 and 1,834,500 Korean Won. If converted to US dollars, this can range from $1,120 to $1,240, which is approximately ₹95,000 to ₹100,000.
Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold screen repair cost can buy a new S25 Ultra - price shock.
A new S25 Ultra can be bought for the price of the repair.
To understand this cost, let's compare it to another flagship phone from Samsung. Samsung's most powerful and premium phone, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, sells for approximately 1,673,100 won in South Korea. This simply means that the amount of money you would spend to repair the Z TriFold's screen is the same amount, or perhaps even less, than what it would cost to buy a brand new S25 Ultra from the store.
Also difficult to find
Besides being expensive, this phone is currently also rare. Reports indicate that only 15 to 30 units have been shipped to major stores in South Korea. It is reported that only 700 units are currently available in the entire country. It seems that Samsung is currently treating this as an experiment and is not mass-producing it.
A moment of carelessness can lead to disaster.
However, these prices are currently based on a blog report and may change officially. But one thing is certain: foldable phones are definitely the technology of the future, but if you are keen on buying this expensive phone, you will have to handle it with extreme care. The cost of its repair is far beyond the budget of the average person.
