The Galaxy A26 5G came out in 2025, with a 6.7 inch Super AMOLED display. Charging is over USB-C and it unlocks with an optical fingerprint reader under the display. It is rated IP67. A budget model with a camera island in the back panel and a plastic frame. Ireland gets the SM-A266B.

What this fixes
The faults a back glass replacement puts right.
- Cracked or shattered rear panelThe phone works, the back is broken. Mostly cosmetic at first, and it does not stay that way.
- 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.
- Cracks that spread every time the phone warms upGlass under tension. It will keep going, slowly, and it does not repair itself.
- 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.
- A cracked camera lens as well as the backTwo separate parts. The lens usually matters more, because it shows up in every photograph.
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.
IfPieces are coming away or it is cutting your fingers
Get it done. Loose glass spreads, and it makes a straightforward job into a longer one.
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.
IfThe frame is bent as well as the back cracked
Bring it in before anything is ordered. A new back does not sit right on a bent frame and we would rather tell you that first.
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?
Two tiers, and you choose knowing which is which: a genuine Samsung service part where one is made for this component, or premium aftermarket where none is. The warranty is 360 days on either.
The words genuine and Samsung certified mean something specific and we only use them when they are true of the part in front of us. Anything else is described as premium aftermarket, plainly.
- 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.
A collection and return across Dublin can be added when you book. The repair price and the warranty are the same either way.
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
Nothing is opened or ordered until we know what failed. There is no charge for this and no obligation to go ahead afterwards.
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
It stays in the shop. The work is done on our own bench by the technicians who do it every day of the week.
Bench testing
The repaired function and the things around it are checked before we call you.
Back in your hands
Collected from Drumcondra, or returned to your door if we picked it up. Covered for 360 days.
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.
Rear cameras
Every lens, checked for fragments and for focus, since the camera glass sits in the same assembly on most models.
Seal and fit
Edges checked all the way round. A back that is proud at one corner will lift again.
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.
Is anything on the device at risk?
Nothing about this repair requires reading what is on the device, and nobody here does.
Testing is a different matter. To prove a repair works we have to turn the device on and use it, which sometimes means asking for your passcode. Say no if you prefer and we will show you exactly which checks we cannot complete without it. Where you do give it, it is written on the paper docket and the docket is shredded. There is deliberately no field for a passcode in our system.
Take a backup before you come in. It is free, it takes two minutes on a device that still works, and it is the one thing nobody regrets having done.
What about the water resistance?
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 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.
On several phones the back glass is bonded to the frame and has to be taken out in pieces with heat, and on some it is separated with a laser. The part is cheap; the removal is the job.
Yes, noticeably. On most models a cracked back takes more off a trade-in valuation than the repair costs, which is the practical argument for doing it.
You can, and it hides the cracks rather than fixing anything. Glass that is already lifting will keep lifting under a skin.
Treat it as no longer water resistant from the moment it broke rather than from the moment we open it. Fresh adhesive keeps rain and splashes out; nobody outside a laboratory restores an IP rating.

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!
