A Galaxy S21 Plus screen replacement costs EUR 125 (soft OLED aftermarket) or EUR 265 (original Samsung panel) at Reparo in Vienna.

Typical screen faults on the Galaxy S21 Plus
- Crack in the Gorilla Glass Victus after a fall onto a hard floor – touch still partly works
- Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor no longer responds consistently after the drop
- Green or pink colour stripes move across the screen while scrolling
- 120 Hz mode drops to 60 Hz – faulty flex line between panel and mainboard
- Black screen despite vibration on calls – the classic AMOLED display failure
- Burn-in marks or mura blotches after long static content (Always-On Display, navigation)
The Galaxy S21 Plus launched in 2021 with a 120 Hz AMOLED 6.7" panel – those exact premium features make the screen replacement more involved than on cheaper Samsung models. Ignore a crack in the Gorilla Glass Victus and within a few weeks you risk moisture getting past the IP68 gasket, leaving the AMOLED with permanent mura blotches. See our Galaxy S21 Plus full overview for every repair option.
How does the Galaxy S21 Plus screen swap work?
- Intake diagnosis with panel and sensor test
In 15 minutes we check whether only the Gorilla Glass Victus front glass or also the AMOLED panel and the ultrasonic in-display sensor are affected. Touch is tested in all four screen quadrants and the colour reproduction compared against a calibrated reference image.
- Open the aluminium frame in a controlled way
At 70 °C the adhesive layer of the IP68 gasket is released evenly. The aluminium frame stays free of warping – crucial for restoring the water protection after fitting.
- Separate the old panel, secure the fingerprint flex
We release the damaged panel from the frame with carbon spudgers. The ultrasonic in-display sensor stays on the mainboard via its flex cable – so the new panel is compatible without any extra hardware calibration.
- New display, gasket, calibration, test
New IP68 adhesive ring, fit the panel, test the 120 Hz refresh, re-enrol the fingerprint sensor and match the colour space against the reference image. After 120 minutes the swap is complete.
Reparo has no open shop, but you can hand in your device after booking a drop-off slot in the 22nd district, or use pickup or mail-in.
Galaxy S21 Plus screen replacement – cost, process and quality in Vienna
The Galaxy S21 Plus is the larger variant in Samsung's 2021 S generation. The 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with 120 Hz is the weak point: in a fall almost all the energy hits the front glass, and the AMOLED behind it reacts sensitively to bending. Our sibling model shows similar damage patterns in repairs, but specific repair details differ.
Reparo replaces the complete display module of your Galaxy S21 Plus in Vienna for EUR 125 (soft OLED aftermarket with frame) or EUR 265 (original Samsung panel). The aluminium frame is opened under temperature control, the ultrasonic in-display sensor protected, and the IP68 gasket fully resealed. If you also have battery trouble, you save with the combined repair – see our separate S21 Plus battery replacement for details.
Aftermarket or original – which suits the Galaxy S21 Plus?
For most Galaxy S21 Plus owners the aftermarket panel at EUR 125 is enough. It is a soft OLED, fitted complete with frame and built flexibly like the factory display. The full 120 Hz and the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor are reliably guaranteed only with the original Samsung panel, however. If you use the S21 Plus for professional photo editing, HDR streaming or exact colour references, go for the original panel at EUR 265 – there colour calibration and peak brightness match the factory state. The Samsung repair overview with every model in a price comparison can also help you decide.
Frequently asked questions about the Galaxy S21 Plus screen replacement
What does the screen replacement cost on the Galaxy S21 Plus?
The Galaxy S21 Plus screen replacement costs EUR 125 (soft OLED aftermarket) or EUR 265 (original Samsung panel) at Reparo in Vienna. Both prices include fitting, a new IP68 gasket, a function test and a 6-month warranty. The diagnosis costs EUR 25 and is waived when you go ahead with the repair.
Does the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor work after the Galaxy S21 Plus screen swap?
With the original display, yes. The Galaxy S21 Plus ultrasonic sensor stays on its dedicated flex cable at the mainboard. With the original panel we calibrate the sensor after fitting, then you re-enrol your fingerprint once in Android. For the soft OLED aftermarket panel we do not guarantee fingerprint unlocking.
Is the IP68 water protection kept on the Galaxy S21 Plus after the screen swap?
Yes. We reseal the complete adhesive ring with every screen replacement. After a proper fitting the Galaxy S21 Plus once again reaches IP68 protection against splash water and brief immersion up to 1.5 m of fresh water. We don't recommend prolonged submersion after any housing intervention.
How long does the screen replacement take on the Galaxy S21 Plus?
The Galaxy S21 Plus screen replacement normally takes about 2 hours of actual work at Reparo. With the pickup service in Vienna you usually get your device back the same or next working day. From the provinces, allow 2–3 working days for the whole process with insured shipping.
Can only the front glass be replaced on the Galaxy S21 Plus?
No. On the Galaxy S21 Plus the Gorilla Glass Victus and the AMOLED panel are firmly bonded and soldered together. A glass-only swap would destroy the panel – we always replace the complete display unit including the touch digitiser and fingerprint flex.
Is the 120 Hz kept with the aftermarket display?
The 120 Hz is firmly guaranteed only by the original Samsung panel at EUR 265. The EUR 125 aftermarket panel is a soft OLED including frame, and we do not promise its refresh rate. For the Galaxy S21 Plus that means: original if 120 Hz matters, aftermarket if the price counts.
My Galaxy S21 Plus shows green or pink colour stripes – display or software?
Colour stripes that move across the screen as you scroll are, on AMOLED, almost always a hardware fault: the flex line between panel and mainboard has loosened after a drop or pressure. A restart helps for a short while, but only a screen replacement fixes it for good.
Can I drop my Galaxy S21 Plus off at Reparo directly?
Three ways: pickup service in Vienna, mail-in from anywhere in Austria, or drop-off at a booked appointment in the 22nd district. You book an appointment online – our courier comes to your chosen address across all 23 Vienna districts (1010 to 1230). From the provinces you send the Galaxy S21 Plus in insured, and the return shipping is included in the repair price.
How does the pickup service in Vienna work for the Galaxy S21 Plus screen swap?
After booking online you choose a time slot between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Our courier drives to your address in Vienna – from the 1st district (Innere Stadt, 1010) to the 23rd district (Liesing, 1230). After the screen swap we often bring your Galaxy S21 Plus back the same day. The courier is included in the repair price.
Is sending the Galaxy S21 Plus in from the provinces safe?
Yes. After booking online you receive packaging instructions with padding tips for the Galaxy S21 Plus. Pack the device padded and send it in insured – we return it insured after the swap. We regularly serve customers from Graz (Styria), Linz (Upper Austria), St. Pölten (Lower Austria), Klagenfurt (Carinthia), Innsbruck (Tyrol) and Bregenz (Vorarlberg).
Is data lost during the Galaxy S21 Plus screen replacement?
No. The flash storage, battery and SIM card are not touched during the screen replacement. Photos, WhatsApp chats, your Samsung account and all apps stay fully intact. We still recommend a Samsung Cloud backup before any repair – it takes a few minutes and costs nothing.
How long does the warranty on the new Galaxy S21 Plus display last?
Six months on the new panel and the complete fitting work. If pixel faults, touch dropouts or problems with the ultrasonic in-display sensor appear, we replace it free of charge. New drop damage or water exposure occurring after the repair is not covered.
Do I lose the Samsung manufacturer warranty through the screen replacement?
On most Galaxy S21 Plus devices the original Samsung warranty has been expired for 2 years anyway. The Reparo warranty on the new display lasts 6 months on the panel and the fitting work.
Is the screen replacement on the Galaxy S21 Plus still worth it in 2026?
Yes. The Galaxy S21 Plus is supplied by Samsung with security updates up to 2025. A screen replacement at EUR 125 with an aftermarket panel vs. a comparable used device from around EUR 262 saves you the data migration and keeps your familiar device alive.
My Galaxy S21 Plus had water contact – could the screen fault be related?
The IP68 protection becomes porous through drops and ageing of the seals. If your Galaxy S21 Plus shows display blotches, flicker or touch dropouts after water contact, we check in the diagnosis (EUR 25, waived on repair) whether there is also mainboard corrosion or battery swelling. A pure screen swap without a water damage diagnosis won't hold up for long otherwise.
