Cracked the screen on your Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra? You're not alone. As Samsung's current flagship, the S25 Ultra pairs a large 6.9-inch curved-edge Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a titanium frame — a combination that looks superb but leaves the glass exposed at the edges, making it one of the more vulnerable screens to drop damage.
The good news is that a full screen replacement is a well-understood repair, and you have several routes to get it fixed: Samsung's official service, an independent repair shop, or doing it yourself with a genuine replacement part. This guide walks through the display specifications, real UK pricing, a step-by-step DIY process, and answers to the questions we're asked most often.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Display Specifications
- Display type: 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X
- Refresh rate: 120Hz adaptive refresh (scales down to save battery on static content)
- Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy
- S Pen support: Built-in, stored in the chassis
- Frame material: Titanium

Because the display is a curved-edge OLED bonded to a titanium frame, a cracked screen on the S25 Ultra typically requires a full "screen with frame" assembly replacement rather than a simple glass-only swap. This is standard for modern Samsung flagships and is reflected in the pricing below.

How to Replace Your Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Screen: Step-by-Step
Screen replacement on a modern Samsung flagship is a precision repair. If you're not confident working with adhesive, ribbon cables, and heat, consider having a professional fit the part instead. If you're proceeding yourself, work slowly and in a clean, well-lit space.
- Power off the device completely and remove the SIM tray.
- Apply gentle heat around the screen edges (using a heat gun on low or a dedicated heating pad) to soften the factory adhesive.
- Insert a suction cup near the bottom edge and create a small gap, then work a thin opening pick or guitar pick around the perimeter to release the adhesive bond.
- Lift the screen carefully, watching for short flex cables connecting the display to the motherboard — do not pull the screen fully free until cables are identified.
- Disconnect the display and battery connectors using a plastic spudger, then remove the old screen assembly entirely.
- Transfer any small components if required (check whether your replacement part includes the earpiece speaker, proximity sensor bracket, and S Pen digitizer components, or whether these need moving from the old unit).
- Position the new OLED screen and frame assembly, reconnecting the display and battery connectors first before securing anything.
- Power on and test before applying adhesive — check touch response across the full screen, S Pen input, and display uniformity.
- Apply new adhesive strips around the frame and press the screen down evenly, working from one edge across to the other.
- Reinsert the SIM tray and leave the device under light, even pressure for the adhesive cure time stated by the adhesive manufacturer.
Given the titanium frame and curved-edge glass, this repair carries more risk of cable damage than older flat-screen models. If in doubt, a local independent repair shop can fit a customer-supplied part for a labour-only fee.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to replace a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra screen in the UK?
Costs vary by route. A genuine replacement OLED screen with frame from The Repair Plus costs £154.49. Independent shops typically charge in the region of £150-£250 including labour, while Samsung's official repair service tends to be the most expensive, often £250-£350 or more depending on warranty status. Always confirm current pricing directly with any repairer before booking.
Can I replace the S25 Ultra screen myself?
Yes, but it's a more advanced repair than on older Samsung models due to the curved-edge glass, titanium frame, and tightly integrated components. If you're comfortable with precision electronics work and have the right tools, it's achievable. If you're not confident, it's safer to have a professional fit the part.
Will replacing the screen void my warranty?
If your device is still under Samsung's warranty, an unauthorised repair — including DIY or independent shop repairs — will typically void the remaining warranty on the device or at least the display component. If your device is out of warranty, this isn't a concern.
Does the replacement screen include the frame?
Yes. The part stocked by The Repair Plus is a full OLED screen and digitizer assembly with frame included, matching the original factory configuration rather than a glass-only repair.
How long does a screen replacement take?
A DIY repair typically takes 45-90 minutes for someone doing it for the first time, plus adhesive cure time. Independent shops often offer same-day turnaround. Samsung's official service may take longer, particularly for postal repairs.
Will my S Pen still work after a screen replacement?
It should, as S Pen digitizer functionality is built into the display assembly. Test S Pen input immediately after reconnecting the new screen and before finishing the adhesive step, so any issue can be caught while the phone is still open.
What's the difference between OLED and LCD replacement screens?
The Galaxy S25 Ultra uses OLED (specifically Dynamic AMOLED 2X) as standard from Samsung. Genuine OLED replacements preserve the original colour accuracy, contrast, and brightness. Always confirm you're buying an OLED assembly rather than a lower-cost aftermarket LCD alternative, as LCD panels do not match the original screen's performance on an OLED-native device.
