In case you fall into the unfortunate encounter of having your screen break, it will cost you dearly. $250 is the figure that is being quoted to have the bigger S8+ Infinity Display replaced. Am sure replacing that of the smaller S8 won’t be cheap either considering last year’s Galaxy S7 Edge repair cost $200. To put it into perspective, $250 (KES 25,000) is a third of the device’s recommended selling price, if you get the screen replaced 3 or more times, you might have as well bought another Galaxy S8 altogether. Needless to say, users will need to be extra cautious with handling their shiny new S8. As we noted in our quick hands on, the device feels really fragile, the smooth glass on the back and front is very slippery. You can slap a case on the device, which will end up covering all the beauty. However, there are clear cases that will not hide the attractive design but you will no longer feel the wonderful pebble like curved edges on your hand, it is a small price to pay in the end. Alternatively, you can opt for phone insurance; they will repair your phone and even replace it in case of theft.
