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.
