Camera Glass vs Module Damage
Glass Only
If the protective glass over the camera is cracked but your photos still look normal, you likely only need glass replacement. This is:
- Cheaper (£49-79)
- Faster (30-45 minutes)
- Less invasive repair
Module Damage
If photos are blurry, discoloured, or the camera app crashes, the sensor module likely needs replacement. This involves:
- Higher cost (£99-149)
- Longer repair time (60-90 minutes)
- Full camera assembly replacement
Rear Camera Repair
Samsung flagship phones have complex multi-camera systems:
S24 Ultra Cameras
- 200MP main: £149 if module needs replacement
- 12MP ultrawide: £99
- 50MP 5x telephoto: £129
- 10MP 3x telephoto: £99
S24/S24+ Cameras
- 50MP main: £99
- 12MP ultrawide: £79
- 10MP telephoto: £79
Camera glass covering all lenses: £49-79 depending on model.
Front Camera Repair
Front cameras are simpler (single lens) but still require careful work:
- S24 series: £79-99
- S23 series: £69-89
- A series: £59-79
Front camera replacement often requires screen removal, adding to labour time.
