A Samsung Galaxy S22 launched at $799 and goes for about $245 refurbished today — 69% of its value gone. That refurbished price is the number every repair on this page is measured against, because it is what replacing it actually costs.
Repairs on this phone run from about $55 at the cheap end to around $143 at the expensive one, across 8 common faults. Anything near the top of that range is a serious fraction of what the device is worth.
This is its last expected year of security updates — support runs to about 2027. Cheap repairs can still make sense; expensive ones are hard to justify against a device with months left.
If you are replacing it anyway, the Samsung Galaxy S23 costs about $420 refurbished — $175 more than a like-for-like Samsung Galaxy S22.
