Samsung follows Apple in allowing you to repair your own devices
Samsung Galaxy users in Europe will have the right to repair a whole range of devices
A few months ago, the European Commission outlined plans to enable a Right To Repair across electronic goods. The proposal is intended to make it easier for users to fix broken tech, rather than simply buying new. They claim it could save over 260 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
Now, users of Samsung phones will be able to utilise this. The company have announced an expansion of its Self-Repair program, to now include users in the UK.
What's more, Samsung will allow customers to retain all of the tools. That means you'll have the right kit on hand if you need to make further repairs in the future. That's a brilliant level of service.
By comparison, Samsung's method is much more appealing. Users don't have to fret over a significant charge if they're deemed to have broken a tool, and will have the right ones available for future use.
It's a great service. Having the power to refurbish your device rather than replacing it is a great option. Not only is it better for the planet, it could save you money, extending the amount of time you use a device before it has to be upgraded.
