When Samsung’s new repair mode is activated, the service personnel will not be able to access your personal data on the Galaxy phone they are working on, and all your data will remain safe.

After the phone is repaired, the user can get fingerprints/patterns etc. it will exit repair mode with security option and will be able to access personal data again.
Will be available with software update
Samsung plans to offer the repair mode first to the Galaxy S21 series, and then to some models with a software update.
