Samsung will start supplying used parts for smartphone repair, Business Korea reported.

Media sources said that the Korean company will use more recycled parts to repair smartphones. Apparently, service centers and end users will be able to take advantage of the offer. The journalists explained that in this way, used parts of devices can be recycled and reused for repairs.

According to experts, Samsung intends to make the repair of its devices cheaper and reduce the negative impact on the environment. The company's decision is in line with its sustainability strategy, which, for example, made its flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S22 series, partly made from ocean debris.

Journalists noticed that if this program is implemented, the cost of repairing smartphones can be significantly reduced. So, at the moment, replacing a damaged phone screen costs about 200,000 won. When using used parts, the cost of maintenance will be reduced by at least half.
