I work for a samsung repair partner. The reason the black screens are more expensive is because they've been on limited stock for around 2 years. it was the most popular model phone i repaired in 2021 by far.

[@droid1appmkr]

Black is generally the most common option on phones, so I'm not surprised here that this was on back order parts wise. Lots of people prefer not to having their device look flashy as with the other colors.

I’ve been watching your videos for nearly 2 years now, I’m only 14 but have started my buy, repair, and resell business on eBay. I love repairing devices and there’s a satisfying feeling about a repair on those devices. I only work on iPhones though, but am planning to spread to other devices or even other brands. This all is only possible due to what you taught me, all my experience came from your videos. It all started when my iPhone 6 had touch disease, I watched one of your videos on a screen replacement for this device, and it only grew from there. By now I’ve probably repaired over 100 iPhones. Thanks Hugh Jeffrey’s, I love your videos!

[@GameN3rdz]

Iphones suck

[@gel13a]

Good Luck! I suggest starting with popular, yet not too expensive Android devices (well, I don't know which Android models are popular in your country so I can not suggest any of them) You will see, that some of them have way easier repairability, than iPhones. In any case, keep upwhat you're duing!

For sure. I miss that. And the colors of the note 10 plus. The grey on the s20 ultra looked good too but someyhing about that glow is awesome. Though the fact that my s22 ultra is green may e helps me keep it in a case, where the former two I constantly kept out of the cases. I still have the note 10 plus and the back glass is shattered. Though it was in the strongest case I ever owned wjen it happened so idk if cases even really matter or not these days.

Just got one of these repaired a few days ago as well, got it off a friend for £100 and the display and back were also busted touchscreen was busted and was also showing bad pixel damage like this, but I ordered a used screen and back glass that look brand new and the phone is now back up and running and I love it. Always been a huge samsung fan boy, first samsung was a s6 edge plus then a s8 then a note 8 and a s10+ and now s21 ultra.

[@TheDude50447]

After all the Apple bs its almost refreshing seeing components not working cause they are actually different and not just artificially locked.

I just got a screen repair on my s22 ultra. It was $30 through my carriers insurance. The guy let me watch and the process went identical to this s21 pretty much. Took the guy like 15 minutes to swap the important bits into the new frame, battery was included on it, like you said. And boom done. I've missed this phone so much

[@instahawk8422]

they make these phones so well held in place and glued down so nothing comes loose but they break so easily but phones from the 80s and 90s were not but they could survive so much hardship and abuse and yet they were not even made in a secure way to last they just did that shows how much manufacturer’s have changed

It's good you caught the last antenna swap, that's a very common thing to miss. When I ran into it the only affected thing was 5g networking so it was harder to tell. Resolving that was a lot of ordering parts as the previous screen had already shipped off XD.

[@fusionsniping3741]

Honestly one of the only samsungs I'd actually want, a rather nice design and pretty decent performance, value these days would be rather great with devaluation. Quite like the matte black, though silver sides are so premium, plus reflect heat better, color changing stuff is kinda cool, but rather have it be full silver

[@gonev9411]

Keep up the great work

[@daniel_wilkinson]

For f***s sake I'm still rocking the S10 Ultra. I replaced the front screen recently (mentioned it in another Hugh Jeffreys video) and it's still doing just fine. Yeah, I get the urge to be at the bleeding edge of technology but when you sit back and realize that companies are holding back advancements because planned obsolescence is a real thing having the latest and greatest doesn't mean as much any more.

[@thetechrealist]

I have a Google Pixel 4 Xl, My brother recently purchased a Pixel 7 Pro, I played with the phone for a bit and realized that the huge improvement I'd thought I'd get, just wasn't there. Especially in photo taking, though video was a huge improvement with 4k 60fps video on all cameras. All in all, it's pretty much the end of upgrading every 2-3 years now. Phones have peaked. With that said, I'm excited about the Pixel 8 Pro!

Samsung May not be as repairable nowadays, but they are more repairable compared to any Apple device.

I had an s21 ultra when i was 12 years old, and i am 13 today, i started doing a back glass mod and some disassembly to clean the earpiece and loud speaker. Also the temperature monitor from the wireless charging coil, faulty so i just removed it from the phone, i still did put the temperature monitor from the wireless charging coil or that metal bracket looking thing but i cutted off the wire so it could secure the cables from disconnecting, phone works fine without wireless charging coil.
