When you\u2019re dropping nearly $2K on a new phone (if not even more) you need to think very carefully about how you\u2019re going to make that investment last, and while choosing a good case can go a long way there, it\u2019s probably worth taking a moment to decide how you want to approach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/fix-phone-won-t-charge-how-to-705387\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">repairs<\/a>, should that awful day eventually come.<\/p>\n<p>Broadly speaking, you\u2019ve got two main options for dealing with phone damage. A regular warranty isn\u2019t going to protect you from accidents, so many users choose to cover their phone with some kind of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/best-options-phone-insurance-768440\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">phone insurance<\/a> that explicitly pays for repairs even due to accidental damage. That\u2019s sold both as plans from third parties, as well as offered from some manufacturers as an add-on.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to go the insurance route, you\u2019re deciding that if and when an accident happens, you\u2019ll pony up the cash to pay for those repairs out of pocket.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no wrong choice, and a lot of factors are going to weigh on your ultimate decision. Obviously, price is a major one there, both in terms of insurance plans and replacement parts, and we can only make an informed decision when we know what to expect. Samsung\u2019s new Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 are probably the two hottest new foldables on the market, and today we finally get a little insight into just what it\u2019s going to cost to repair these models \u2014 and specifically, their screens.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Eg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE in both Black and White colorways unfolded partially on table\"  alt=\"Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE in both Black and White colorways unfolded partially on table\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Flip-7-FE-in-both-Black-and-White-colorways-unfolded-partially-on-table.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>C. Scott Brown \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n<p>The folks over at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/these-prices-for-galaxy-z-fold-7-and-z-flip-7-screen-replacements-are-insane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SamMobile<\/a> have gotten ahold of a pricing list for replacement components, and \u2014 well, we don\u2019t know what your expectations were, but if they were high, you were in the right ballpark.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the big guy. Based on information from a European supplier, the Fold 7\u2019s internal screen costs \u20ac761 (~$885). That\u2019s over twice what the Flip 7\u2019s \u20ac342 (~$398) folding screen costs to replace. And keep in mind \u2014 these are hardware costs only, and don\u2019t factor in the labor of actually installing them.<\/p>\n<p>Surely the non-folding screens here must be priced a bit more reasonably, right? Hahaha, no. Maybe the Flip 7\u2019s \u20ac207 (~$240) FlexWindow won\u2019t break the bank, but the Fold 7\u2019s exterior panel lists for \u20ac525 (~$610), or as much as a good phone itself.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung\u2019s pre-order pages for the Fold 7 and Flip 7 confirm that the former is a Care Plus Tier 4 device, and the latter Tier 3. That means that if you want Samsung\u2019s own coverage, it will run you $13 a month (or $259 for two years) for the Fold 7, and $10 a month (or $169 for two years) for the Flip 7. And then on top of that, you\u2019re paying $29 per replacement. There\u2019s also a higher Care Plus level that doesn\u2019t have a per-incident fee and also covers loss or theft, but costs even more.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, it\u2019s a gamble. The important thing is that the choice is yours. If you do decide to go with Care Plus, you\u2019re able to select it at the time you purchase your phone from Samsung, or sign up within 60 days after the fact.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Got a tip?
