The Galaxy A16 5G came out in 2024, with a 6.7 inch Super AMOLED display. Charging is over USB-C and it unlocks with a fingerprint reader in the side button. There is 50MP main, 5MP ultra wide and 2MP macro on the back and a plastic frame, and it is rated IP68. Three separate lenses on a plastic back, and the fingerprint reader in the side button rather than under the screen. SM-A166B is the model sold here.

What this fixes
The faults a back glass replacement puts right.
- Glass lifting or pieces coming awayOnce the panel is loose it stops sealing, and it starts cutting fingers. Worth doing before it spreads.
- Wireless charging gone since the breakSometimes the coil underneath is disturbed. Worth mentioning when you book, because it changes what we check.
- Pieces missing around the camera housingThe most common place for the back to fail, because the camera stands proud and lands first.
- Wireless charging has stopped workingThe coil sits under the back glass and can take damage in the same impact that broke it.
- The back is cracked and the phone will not sit flatCheck the battery. A swelling cell pushes from inside and it is a different and more urgent job.
- Sharp edges that catch on a pocketIt stops being cosmetic at this point. Loose glass cuts and it lets dust and moisture at the inside.
Before you spend anything
Is it definitely just the back glass?
The back is the one repair where doing nothing is a reasonable choice for a while, so it is worth being straight about when it is not.
IfThe back is cracked but nothing is lifting
There is no urgency. Put a case on it and book when it suits. It is worth knowing the phone is no longer sealed against water.
IfThe camera glass is broken rather than the panel
That is usually a separate and cheaper part, so ask us before booking a full rear glass replacement.
IfYou are selling or trading the phone soon
Worth doing. A cracked back takes more off a trade-in valuation than the repair costs on most models.
IfThe glass is cracked and flat and nothing else has changed
No urgency. It does not spread the way a front screen does, and it can wait until it suits you.
IfWireless charging stopped at the same time
Say so when you book, because the coil may need replacing along with the glass and that changes the price.
If you are not sure which of these you have, that is what the free diagnostic is for. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.
What parts do we fit?
Genuine Samsung service parts where they exist for the component, and premium aftermarket where they do not. You are told which one your repair uses before you agree to it, and the 360-day warranty is the same either way.
Nobody here will call a part original when it is not. If what fits your phone is premium aftermarket, you hear that word at the counter rather than reading it on a docket afterwards.
- The back glass is the way into a Galaxy for most internal repairs, so it comes off routinely. It is replaced with fresh adhesive and reseated rather than reused.
What the €35 includes
- A replacement rear panel fitted and sealed
- The camera surround checked and replaced where it is part of the panel
- Wireless charging tested after fitting
- 360-day warranty on the part and the workmanship
No additional paid work happens without your approval. If the diagnostic finds something behind the part we are replacing, we stop, explain it and confirm the cost first.
If getting here is the problem, we collect and return across Dublin from Monday to Friday. It costs the same repair price and carries the same 360-day warranty.
Choose the part
Two tiers, named before you agree.
Back glass is cosmetic and structural at once, so the tier question is really about colour match and how the adhesive behaves.
Value Edition
Premium aftermarket, tested to the same standard
Made to the original specification. On most colours it is indistinguishable; on a handful of finishes it is very slightly off and we will tell you which yours is before you decide.
€35The €35 on this page is our standard quote for this repair. Which tier suits your device is a conversation at the counter, and the price for each is on the table before you decide. The 360-day warranty is the same on both, because we would not offer a tier we did not think would last.
Ask about the wireless charging coil at the same time. It sits under this glass, it can be damaged in the same impact, and it is cheaper to sort while the phone is already open.
How we do it
From the counter to back in your hand.
Tell us what it is doing
Two minutes online, or straight in the door at 4 Richmond Road. The more you can say about when it started, the faster we get to the cause.
Free diagnostic
Before a part is ordered we establish what has really gone wrong. It is free, and it is the reason people do not leave here having paid for the wrong thing.
You approve the price
You get the exact figure before any work starts. Nothing else happens without asking you first.
The repair is carried out
Carried out here in Drumcondra rather than sent away, by people who do this repair daily.
Bench testing
The repaired function and the things around it are checked before we call you.
Back in your hands
Yours again, from the counter or by courier, with 360 days of cover on the part and the work.
Before it goes back
What we test every time.
A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.
Wireless charging
On a pad, because the coil sits directly under the panel that has just been replaced.
Wireless charging
Confirmed with a pad after the repair, because the coil sits directly under the part we replaced.
Camera and flash through the new glass
Photographed against a plain surface to check for haze, which is how a badly seated lens shows up.
Seal around the edge
Refitted with fresh adhesive so rain and splashes stay out, which is the honest limit of what a resealed phone can promise.
Will my data be safe?
This is hardware work. We do not need to go into your photos, messages or accounts to do it, and we do not.
We do need to switch the device on and use it to test the repair, so we may ask for your passcode. If you would rather not hand it over, tell us and we will show you what we cannot verify without it. Any passcode you give us goes on the paper docket and the docket gets shredded. It is never stored in our system.
Back the device up before any repair. Not because we expect to lose anything, but because a device that has already been dropped is one whose storage has already been shaken, and a backup costs nothing.
Will it still survive a splash?
After any repair, ours included, work on the assumption that the device is no longer water resistant.
The rating on the box was measured once, on a sealed unit, in controlled conditions. It was never a promise about the device three years later. Adhesive hardens, seals compress and a single drop can break the seal without leaving a mark you would notice.
We reseal with fresh adhesive and it does a real job: rain, splashes and a wet counter are all fine. A submerged phone is not, and we would rather say that plainly than let you find out.
If yours goes near water regularly, say so at the counter and we will tell you what the adhesive covers and what it does not.
The 360-day warranty
Every completed repair is covered for 360 days on the part and the workmanship. If the display we fitted fails, or the fitting was at fault, we put it right at no charge.
What it does not cover is a new accident. A phone dropped again after the repair, fresh physical damage, liquid damage, or a fault in a part we did not touch, all sit outside it. That is the same limit any honest repair warranty has.
No fix, no fee. The diagnostic is free, and if the repair does not happen you pay nothing.
Three ways to get it to us
- Walk in to Drumcondra4 Richmond Road, Dublin 3. No appointment. Mon to Sat 10:00 to 18:00, closed Sunday. Most phone screens and batteries done in 15 to 45 minutes while you wait.
- We collect and returnDoor to door across Dublin, Monday to Friday, usually 2 to 4 working days. The repair takes the same time; the courier is the difference.
- Send it in yourselfPost it to the shop with a tracked, insured service and a note with your number. We cannot cover a parcel in transit, and that is the honest trade-off for the route existing.
Same repair price and the same 360-day warranty on all three. The only thing that changes is how the device travels.

€35, including the part, the fitting, the testing and the 360-day warranty. VAT is included. You get that figure confirmed before anything is opened, and if we cannot repair the phone you pay nothing.
Usually same day. If the diagnostic turns up something else, or a part has to be ordered, we tell you before you commit rather than after.
It depends on the phone and on you. It is cosmetic while the glass stays put, so there is no urgency if nothing is lifting. Two things change that: loose pieces spread and cut, and a cracked back takes more off a trade-in valuation than the repair usually costs.
No, and treat it as no longer water resistant from the moment the glass broke, not from the moment we open it. We refit with fresh adhesive, which restores a physical seal, but nobody outside a laboratory can restore an IP68 rating and we will not claim to.
It should, and we test it before you get the phone back. The charging coil sits directly under the rear panel, so it is one of the things a rear glass repair can disturb.
Not while it is flat and holding together. It becomes urgent when the glass starts lifting, because loose glass cuts fingers and lets dust and moisture inside.
On most models yes, and we tell you before we start if your colour is one where it will not. Some finishes are made in a way nobody outside the factory reproduces exactly.

Customer reviews
Excellent customer service bought my samsung A54 best price in dublin.
As I'm a lawyer, I need a reliable phone. For me, it's an office extension in my pocket. I decided to buy a Samsung S23 Ultra. I live in Drumcondra so being aware of their excellent reputation locally, I visited iMend last week. The manager and assistant could not have been more helpful. I bought the phone and it exceeds my expectations. On checking, the price was the lowest in Dublin. Anyone who needs a phone or a small electronic product will be well looked after by iMend. Great people to deal with!
I had a great experience with the guys, they helped me get started with my new phone, they didn't push me to go for the most expensive items, they respected what I was looking for.
Excellent service and the staff were so friendly and helpful. My sons Nintendo controller broke and they went above and beyond to fix it. Would definitely go back.
I left my phone in to be repaired I received a price for repair which was very fair and was actually charged less when I collected the phone I was very pleased with the service and would highly recommend this shop
Excellent service pleasure to deal with this is my 3rd time purchasing a phone from them.
