A Samsung Galaxy S24 launched at $799 and goes for about $430 refurbished today β€” 46% 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 $58 at the cheap end to around $150 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.

Security updates are expected to run to about 2031, roughly 5 more years, so the software side is not what limits this device.
