HUAWEI Mate X replacement screen costs more than Galaxy Note 10
June 05, 2025
One of the burning questions aroundfoldable phonesis just how much it will cost to get the screen repaired in the event of accidental damage. Samsung has revealed its details for theGalaxy Fold, but what about theHUAWEI Mate X?
Fortunately,Gizmochinahas spotted an updated guide to component costs on theHUAWEI China website. The guide now includes the Mate X, and notes that a new screen costs 7,080 yuan (~$1,006). Other noteworthy Mate X component costs include a battery for 278 yuan (~$40), and a motherboard for 3,579 yuan (~$509).
It’s unclear whether the replacement screen cost takes labor and other factors into account, but those wanting to go the DIY route should definitely keep this price in mind.
The 7,080 yuan price tag means a replacement screen for the HUAWEI Mate X is actually slightly more expensive than the128GB Pixel 4 XL($999) and theSamsung Galaxy Note 10($949). Heck, you could buy twoASUS Zenfone 6phones for the price of one screen repair. Then again, the Zenfone 6 doesn’t have a foldable display — although its flipping camera mechanism is pretty cool too.
Meanwhile, Samsung charges$149 for first-time Galaxy Fold screen repairsright now — itreportedlygoes up to $600 for subsequent replacements. This is all very exorbitant, but if you can afford a first-generation foldable phone, chances are good that you can afford the screen repair costs.
Repair prices will hopefully come down as the technology matures, but you only need to look atcurved screen phonesto know there’s no guarantee of price parity with traditional displays.
