Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold display repair cost is ~RM4.5K

Today is the first day of the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold going on sale. While Malaysia is not part of the selected markets, we learnt that its folding display repairing cost is super high. Reports indicate that if owners damage the inner folding screen, replacement costs start at around KRW 1657500 (approximately RM4.5K) in South Korea, making it one of the most expensive Samsung smartphone screen repairs ever.

Premium Repair Bills

The Galaxy Z TriFold’s foldable screen is a key part of its unique identity, but this complexity also comes with financial consequences. Fixing the inner folding panel is significantly more costly than typical smartphone screen repairs, while even the cover display carries a non-trivial replacement price.

According to the report, outer screen repairs are priced much lower but still add to the overall maintenance expense should an accident occur. To help ease the potential financial hit for buyers, Samsung is offering a one-time 50 % discount on inner display repairs for Galaxy Z TriFold owners, which can substantially reduce the cost of fixing accidental damage.

While Samsung’s tri-fold innovation pushes mobile design forward, the cost of maintaining the hardware reflects that cutting-edge nature. The hefty repair price tag for the inner screen highlights the importance of using protective accessories and handling the device with extra care, as the core folding display remains a costly component to fix when damaged.

Besides South Korea, the Galaxy Z TriFold has also been launched in China, Taiwan, Singapore, the UAE, and the United States.
