Samsung has extended its self repair programme into the UK and other European markets after a successful US launch in March of last year. It will allow owners of Samsung's Android phones and Galaxy Book laptops in the UK, France, Germany and Poland (and more) to replace key components of their devices to prolong their lifespan. This includes replacement screen kits with new batteries included, back glass covers and charging port replacements, and Samsung is even selling the tool kits you'll need to replace the parts.
Samsung states that its intent with this new scheme is to "encourage users to experience the optimised performance of their Galaxy device for as long as possible", according to TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. Plans are apparently already formulating to bring this programme to other markets too, with TM Roh stating that Samsung is "committed to scaling access to our Self-Repair program around the world while improving the repairability of our products."
