Galaxy S24 FE, from 2024, with a 6.7 inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display and the Exynos 2400e chip. It charges over USB-C and it unlocks with an optical fingerprint reader under the display. There is an aluminium frame, and it is rated IP68. A big flat screen with three vertical cameras and thicker bezels than the S24. The FE is the value model in the range and its parts are its own. Ireland gets the SM-S721B.
The front camera shares its assembly with Face ID and the proximity sensor, so what else is failing tells us a lot.
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.
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.
Nothing extra gets done and charged for without you saying yes to it. Where the diagnostic turns up a second fault, the work stops there and you hear the price before it goes any further.
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.
The front camera rides in the display assembly on most phones, so the tier conversation usually happens alongside the screen one.
Original or manufacturer-grade part
The manufacturer's own module, and the safest option where face unlock hardware sits beside it.
Priced at the counterPremium aftermarket, tested to the same standard
Made to the original specification. On a front camera the difference is small and the saving is real.
Priced at the counterThe €155 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.
Tell us if face unlock stopped at the same time. On several phones that is a different and more involved part than the camera on its own, and it changes what we order.
Walk in during opening hours or book ahead, whichever suits. Tell us what the device is actually doing rather than what you think the fix is.
Nothing is opened or ordered until we know what failed. There is no charge for this and no obligation to go ahead afterwards.
The price is confirmed to you before anything begins, and it does not move afterwards unless you agree to something else.
It stays in the shop. The work is done on our own bench by the technicians who do it every day of the week.
Nothing is handed back untested. The repaired part and its neighbours are all checked first.
Yours again, from the counter or by courier, with 360 days of cover on the part and the work.
A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.
Where it shares the assembly, tested before the phone goes back.
The ambient light sensor sits in the same strip and is easy to disturb.
Both, because a module can pass one and fail the other.
All of them ride in the same assembly and all of them get disturbed.
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.
Treat the device as no longer water resistant after any repair, including this one.
An IP rating is measured on a brand new, factory sealed device in a laboratory. It is a description of how that device left the factory, not a property it keeps. Heat, age and everyday knocks degrade the seal long before anybody opens it, which is why phones that have never been repaired still let water in.
Opening a device means cutting through adhesive. We refit with fresh adhesive, which gives you back a physical seal that keeps rain and splashes out. What we will not do is claim the original rating is restored, because there is no way for us or for any independent shop in Ireland to test that.
If the device lives near water, tell us when you book. It changes what we recommend and it is a two minute conversation rather than a surprise afterwards.
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.
€155, 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.
On most models the front camera and the Face ID components are separate parts in one assembly, so the camera can be replaced without touching Face ID. We check yours before we start and tell you if that is not true of your model.
Yes, when the job is done properly. On most phones the unlock hardware sits in the same assembly and has to be handled with the camera. That handling is what goes wrong in a rushed repair.
On most phones it is mounted in the display assembly rather than the body, so it comes out with the screen. That is also why it sometimes stops working after a screen repair done badly.
Usually yes. The camera is its own module inside the assembly and it can be swapped on its own.
A front camera module is one of the cheaper parts in a phone, so on most models yes. We will say where it is not.
iMEND is an independent repair service. Brand and model names are used only to describe the devices we repair. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or an authorised service provider for any manufacturer.
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!
