Samsung Galaxy The S8 is expensive, popular and fragile. This means only one thing for services - huge earnings. According to SquareTrade, an American provider of extended warranties for electronic devices, the new "es-eight" is even the most fragile smartphone ever. During the drop test conducted by the company, namely the display Galaxy The S8 cracked the first time it was dropped from all sides, which has never happened to any phone before.
Samsung's flagship can boast Gorilla Glass 5, which is not only on the display but also on the back, but that doesn't help either. The edges are metal, but they are so narrow that they don't add much to the durability of the phone, and so be it Galaxy S8 really fragile, which you can see in the test below.
Foreign magazine Motherboard now reported that the services are literally excited about the fragile "es-eights", not only because of their susceptibility to falls and popularity, but also because the parts for the new flagship of the South Koreans are relatively cheap, especially compared to the price of a new device. In addition, the extreme fragility is also confirmed by the fact that repair shops have started receiving the first broken pieces Galaxy S8 within 24 hours of the start of sales.
Service owners were even surprised at how cheap replacement displays for Galaxy S8 are. From China, one piece will cost approximately $200 (4 CZK), which is $900 to $50 dollars less compared to last year's Galaxy S7 to Galaxy S7 edge. Compared with iPhonem 7, the price is even more favorable, because the replacement screen costs $300 (CZK 7). The lower price of the display for the new Samsung model is allegedly due to either the improved production of OLED displays or the fact that Samsung currently produces displays on a really large scale, for Apple and his to-be iPhone, and thus the price relative to the quantity decreased as a result.
