The curving edges of the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s screen were found to be a weak point during drop testing. If the Samsung Galaxy S22 has a flat screen, does it indicate it is more durable? The team at PBKreviews tried to find out the answer.
The Gorilla Glass Victus+ is prone to cracks even when it is dropped from a height of only a few feet. If the phone strikes the ground on its side, it is damaged but otherwise unharmed. Cracks are formed when a Victus+ pane falls on its side (front or rear).
Keep in mind that if you don’t have Samsung Care+, you’ll have to pay $200 to replace the screen on a vanilla Galaxy S22. Check the cached version of the Samsung.com repair cost page to determine if it has been deleted. Putting a cover on your phone may also be a good idea, since the rear isn’t completely protected.
The following are some reasonable costs for a new screen:
| Model | Screen replacement cost (in the US) |
|---|---|
| Galaxy S22 Ultra | $289 |
| Galaxy S22+ | $229 |
| Galaxy S22 | $199 |
| Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G | $289 |
| Galaxy S21+ 5G | $229 |
| Galaxy S21 5G | $199 |
| Galaxy S21 FE 5G | $169 |
