It's just fluff, who breaks their phone and then calls the manufacturer to repair it? unless you have a Care Plus replacement plan etc where they immediately ship you a replacement you would be crazy not to get it repaired locally for less money, better data privacy and substantially cheaper. It's actually amusing in this video when Arun says he knows he got his original S23 ultra back because of the rear glass, he was incorrect, samsung would have ripped the internals and put them into a new housing (pretty much a whole new S23) and then glued his original rear glass onto the back of the new Screen / housing.

For clarifcation: Apple devices are sent to a Warehouse in Leicester and typically repaired the day they are received as they have a day to day turn around.

They'd make simple mistakes and try to pass the blame. They were the slowest out of all the manufacturers and were horrible to deal with. Apple was always expensive and a pain in the amount of detail they'd want but would get the devices back to us the quickest. This shows me that nothing has changed in all those years.

They sent a box, it arrived next day (or so), within a week i had it back in a "Hello again!" Box. That little touch of "Hello again!" had me absolutely smiling. Flawless, no complaints. Minimizing the direct human interaction (calls) definitely helped. (Note that even if it was for a company, it would have been the same procedure as an individual.)

On Wednesday I had a chat with Apple Support about an issue with my AirPods. Other person on the chat knew what they were talking about and we quickly got the repair process kicked off. Today (yesterday was a public holiday) someone came to pick up the AirPods to deliver them to the Apple Store. Everything worked awesome so far.

[@snoopiffer]

I've dealt with google personally and it was a simple chat on their website they gave me a label i sent it off, i had email updates every step of the way and i could even track where it was. I waited 7 days and it was back with me, in that time they sent it from the uk to poland, "fixed" it and gave it back. However I think i did recieve an entirely different device as my broken device had its IMEI number on the sim tray and a few scratches and grooves in the plastic (pixel 4a with no case) and the one they sent me back had no IMEI number In the sim card tray and also no scratches and as a bonus the battery life was way better than my, at this point 18 month old phone.

[@mr.reputation]

I think the most familiar service type for Korean Galaxy users is to visit the Samsung Service Center and get it repaired. The reason is that the repair is usually completed within an hour except for the waiting time, and if you return the broken display to Samsung, the repair cost will be lower.(It costs about $185 to return the S23 Ultra display, but it costs about $62 to sign up for Samsung Care Plus.) So it was a big shot for me to get my phone repaired and wait for almost a week to a month to fix it.

This seems to be a Korean only service. Here in Germany we have Samsung service centers but the dont repair anything on the same day, you have to turn in your phone and it will still be sent to a repair shop which takes at least 7 days.

I have to say that I had a very good experience with the Samsung service. A few years ago my screen broke in a fall. So I went to the Samsung website and described my damage there in no time. In the end I could choose whether I wanted to send it to Samsung or have the "Samsung Repair Bus" come for 15€ more. For this small surcharge I decided to use the Samsung Repair Bus. He was there the next day, took my smartphone and repaired it in the Samsung Repair Bus within an hour. After an hour I had my smartphone back with a new display and even got a battery replacement free of charge.

I learned a little bit about phone repair at an old job that refurbished iphones and other smart devices and what I've learned is that they've basically built a lot of technology into the screen. A lot more than used to be there. So replacing the screen is much more difficult than it used to be. Also the screen part is tied to the motherboard part on newer iPhones, in such a way that if for example you swapped the screen on two iphones, neither screen will work as it's not attached to ITS screen. Basically this is to prevent third party manufacturers from being able to make new screens for iphones. Let me tell you, it made repairs SUPER DIFFICULT, as a third party company.

I have sent in two Samsung phones for repair here in Sweden and the experience was a lot better than what you have experienced. The first phone was a Samsung S10+. I just went to the Samsung repair store here in Stockholm. Brought it in around lunch time and some few hours later it was repaired. The second time it was a Samsung S21 Ultra. That process took a little bit longer. The process took some few days from me bringing it in to the actual repair because they had to order the screen. The process would probably take 1-2 days more if I had sent it by postal service though. But nonetheless I guess the Samsung costumer service is a lot better in Sweden than in the UK. :)
