A new “fix it yourself” program will be available soon, which will give Galaxy customers access to parts, tools, and guides to repair their own devices. The development of the program with the industry leader iFixit is very good news. The program will initially be available for the Galaxy S20 series, S21 series and Galaxy Tab S7 Plus.

Speaking to The Verge, iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens; He stated that manufacturers have begun to embrace consumers’ right to repair. Users who want to benefit from the program will be presented with easy-to-understand visual instructions and tools. Wiens reports that guides for the Galaxy S20 series are ready and the iFixit team has prepared guides for the Galaxy S21 series and Galaxy Tab S7 Plus.
