New Phone to Replace Samsung S8+

askme69 on 04/07/2019 - 13:33

Hi all, My wife's Samsung s8+ has a cracked screen and she is looking for a replacement around $500 or less.

I could give her my v30+ and i get the new phone, anyway, what do people recommend?

Has to be comparable or better, not a step back.

Thanks.

Probably easier to replace the wife…

  This would definitely be more costly. Not the OzBargain way!

$275 to repair the screen if the S8+ is an Australian model.

  I've also heard from a few people that they replace the battery as well as the screen (worth confirming though).

might be worth checking with http://sydneyrepaircentre.com.au/ for a price.

They replaced my S8+ screen…absolutely faultless! OEM parts, fast turnaround and great service ( they are an authorised repair centre for the major brands)

  interesting..4 negs. Must mean some people have had a bad experience with sydneyrepaircentre. Oh well, mine was fantastic and I'm not associated in any way. Just my 2 cents worth!

This S9 would be better, but more than $500

Sadly, the 64gb is no longer available, it was $545 so quite in line with your budget

  Today I learned that $545 is less than $500

    How did you come to that conclusion? Also, I didn't neg you.
