The Galaxy S22 Ultra arrived in 2022, with a 6.8 inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display and the Exynos 2200 chip. Charging is over USB-C and it unlocks with an ultrasonic fingerprint reader under the display. There is an armour aluminium frame, and it is rated IP68. The first Ultra with a Note-style boxy shape and a built-in S Pen slot. Curved edges and four cameras with no housing around them. The one sold in Ireland is SM-S908B.
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.
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.
Where Samsung supplies a service part for this component, that is what goes in. Where it does not, we fit premium aftermarket and say so. Which of the two you are getting is settled before you agree to anything, and the 360-day warranty does not change between them.
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.
You will not find work on the bill you did not agree to. If something else shows up while the phone is open, we stop and ask rather than deciding for you.
A collection and return across Dublin can be added when you book. The repair price and the warranty are the same either way.
Back glass is cosmetic and structural at once, so the tier question is really about colour match and how the adhesive behaves.
Original or manufacturer-grade part
The manufacturer's own panel, in the manufacturer's colour. The only tier that guarantees an exact match on the finishes nobody outside the factory reproduces.
Priced at the counterPremium 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.
Priced at the counterThe €130 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.
Book online in about two minutes, or walk in without an appointment. Describe the symptom rather than the repair, it is more useful to us.
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 get the exact figure before any work starts. Nothing else happens without asking you first.
Carried out here in Drumcondra rather than sent away, by people who do this repair daily.
We test what we replaced and everything that sits beside it, because that is where a rushed repair shows up.
Collected from Drumcondra, or returned to your door if we picked it up. Covered for 360 days.
A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.
On a pad, because the coil sits directly under the panel that has just been replaced.
Confirmed with a pad after the repair, because the coil sits directly under the part we replaced.
Photographed against a plain surface to check for haze, which is how a badly seated lens shows up.
Refitted with fresh adhesive so rain and splashes stay out, which is the honest limit of what a resealed phone can promise.
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.
Treat the phone as no longer water resistant after any repair, including ours.
Apple's IP68 rating is measured on a brand new, factory sealed phone under controlled laboratory conditions. It is not a permanent property of the device. The seal degrades with age, heat and everyday knocks long before anybody opens it.
Opening a phone means cutting through that seal. We refit the display with fresh adhesive, which restores a physical seal and keeps ordinary splashes and rain out. What we will not do is tell you it is back to IP68, because we have no way to test that and neither does any independent shop in Ireland.
If your phone lives near water, say so when you book and we will talk you through what the adhesive does and does not cover.
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.
Same repair price and the same 360-day warranty on all three. The only thing that changes is how the device travels.
€130, 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 some models the rear glass is bonded into the housing and the whole device has to come apart to change it. On others it lifts off on its own and the job is far quicker. It is worth asking for your exact model, because the difference is large.
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.
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.

We are a dedicated repair bench in Dublin 3. That means we take on work authorised channels turn away, and we tell you honestly when something is not worth fixing.
Every device is tested before we quote, so you are not paying for a part that was never the problem.
Genuine or OEM-grade components chosen for your model. We tell you which is going in before we start.
Hardware-only repairs. We never read, copy or move anything on your device.
If we cannot repair it, there is nothing to pay. No diagnostic fee, no handling charge.
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!
