According to a report from SamMobile, replacing the Galaxy Z Fold 7's main folding screen could cost around €761, excluding labor costs.
This price is equivalent to or even higher than many other high-end phone models on the market such as nothing Phone (3) or Galaxy S25 - Samsung's new flagship.
Even when choosing to repair the secondary screen (external screen), Fold 7 users still have to spend about 525 Euros. With the Galaxy Z Flip 7 series, the repair cost for the home screen is around 342 Euros and the FlexWindow cover is 207 Euros.
These are numbers that make many users rethink before "money-making" for a foldable phone. With a complex design and expensive components, foldable screen phones are one of the products with the highest maintenance costs today.
Therefore, experts recommend that users consider device insurance packages such as Samsung Care or extended warranty packages.
These protective measures not only help reduce financial risks if there are incidents, but also bring peace of mind to users when owning expensive technology devices.
Although foldable screen phones are creating a new trend, consumers should carefully consider the long-term cost of ownership, especially in the context of repair prices almost equal to a new device.
