Typical back cover damage on the Galaxy A16
- The back cover of your Galaxy A16 has cracks after a fall
- Edges have chipped off - corners partly missing
- Scratches destroy the matte look
- The back cover is coming loose at the frame edge
- The camera area has chips
- The housing looks yellowed after years
A damaged back cover is more than just looks - if the adhesive frame is loose, moisture gets into the device and can cause mainboard damage. Our Galaxy A16 repair overview shows you all further services if additional damage is present.
How does the Galaxy A16 back cover replacement work at Reparo?
- Intake diagnosis of back cover damage
Your Galaxy A16 is checked for the type and extent of damage: back cover only? Camera lens affected too? Qi coil accessible? We document with photos and make a concrete plan.
- Release the back cover under temperature control
The plastic adhesive frame is heated to around 70 °C - with a precision heating mat, not a hot-air blower. The faulty back cover releases evenly without pressure on the frame.
- Remove the old part + adhesive residue
The broken glass is completely removed, glass splinters in the frame removed. Old adhesive is released with isopropyl 99 and special spatulas - without scratching the aluminium frame.
- Check the camera lens + Qi coil
On the Galaxy A16 the camera lens glasses and the wireless-charging coil are under the back cover. We check both for damage, replace if needed (clarified separately) and put them back in the original position.
- Bond the new back cover properly
The OEM replacement part is fixed to the frame with original Samsung adhesive strips. Defined contact pressure, 30 minutes of curing - the sealing values are then back at factory level.
- Final test + quality assurance
Wireless charging test (if the model supports it), camera test shots, fit check on the frame, rear-look inspection. You get your Galaxy A16 back looking like new.
Reparo works without on-site customer access - your Galaxy A16 is picked up by courier in Vienna or sent in insured from the provinces.

Frequently asked questions about the Galaxy A16 back cover replacement
What does the back cover replacement cost for the Galaxy A16 in Vienna?
Replacing the Galaxy A16 back cover costs €79 fixed price at Reparo in Vienna. The price includes: the original or OEM back cover replacement part (plastic), new adhesive strips for the IP67 frame, camera function confirmed, calibration and 6 months warranty. The diagnostic (25 EUR) is waived on a repair order.
Why does the back cover on the Galaxy A16 break so easily?
The Galaxy A16 back cover is a material compromise of hardness and weight - a polycarbonate back cover with a glass-look coating. The glass withstands everyday scratches, but on impact drops onto edges it still breaks. Typical triggers: a fall from the pocket onto tiles, an edge on a kerb, pressure from objects sliding around in the car. The replacement is usually faster and cheaper than buying new.
What symptoms do customers bring us with the Galaxy A16 back cover?
Most common on the Galaxy A16: a broken polycarbonate back cover or chipped corners. Sometimes the camera lens in the back cover is broken too - then we replace it as part of the back cover replacement or check the camera sensor separately. Every symptom is recorded precisely in the diagnosis before replacement parts are ordered.
Does more than just the glass need to be replaced on the Galaxy A16?
With cracks only in the rear glass, replacing the back cover unit including the adhesive frame is usually enough. But if the fall also hit the camera module, the Qi coil or the frame, we check these components in the diagnosis (25 EUR, waived on repair) and give you a clear quote before we work. On the Galaxy A16 the rule is: we install nothing that is not necessary.
Is the display damaged during the Galaxy A16 back cover replacement?
No. Unlike the battery replacement, with the back cover we go into the device from behind - the display stays completely untouched. We heat the adhesive frame to 70-80 °C with a special heating mat, release the faulty glass with flat carbon spudgers and bond the new replacement part. Your Galaxy A16 screen stays as it was.
Does IP67 water protection on the Galaxy A16 remain after the back cover replacement?
Yes. With every back cover replacement we renew the complete IP67 adhesive frame all around. After proper installation your Galaxy A16 reaches the same water and dust protection as from the factory again - brief immersion up to 1.5 m depth, 30 minutes. We do not recommend active submersion or swimming after housing interventions in general.
Does the camera function of the Galaxy A16 remain after the back cover replacement?
Yes. The camera lens in the Galaxy A16 back cover is renewed if needed - that is included in the €79 price when it is the lens glass only. If the camera sensor is also damaged, we check this in the diagnosis. After the replacement we take photo control shots so the sharpness is right.
How long does the Galaxy A16 back cover replacement take at Reparo?
The pure working time on the Galaxy A16 is around 60-90 minutes. The total turnaround time is 1-2 working days because the new adhesive frame needs around 30 minutes of curing before the device can be delivered again. We keep replacement parts in stock for the most common Samsung models; with special colours 1 working day can be added for procurement.
Is the pickup service in Vienna for the Galaxy A16 back cover replacement included?
Yes. For the Galaxy A16 our courier drives to all 23 Vienna districts from Monday to Friday. You book a pickup window online (9am-6pm), we collect the device at your home or office, deliver it back after 1-2 working days. Courier costs are included in the €79 fixed price - no extra charge.
Can I send the Galaxy A16 in from the provinces?
Yes. Customers from Graz, Salzburg, Linz, Innsbruck, Bregenz, Klagenfurt or St. Pölten send the Galaxy A16 in insured by post. After booking we send shipping instructions, after the replacement the device goes back insured. Diagnostic 25 EUR (waived on repair), all other costs included in the €79 fixed price.

Is data lost during the Galaxy A16 back cover replacement?
No. We only work on the housing - mainboard, storage, SIM card and Samsung account are not disconnected. Photos, apps, Wi-Fi passwords and settings remain fully intact. We still recommend a Samsung Cloud backup before every repair (free, 5 minutes via the Samsung account settings).
Original Samsung back cover or aftermarket on the Galaxy A16?
We install high-quality OEM back covers that match the original Samsung parts in colour, material and fit. Original service pack parts are only available through authorised Samsung service centres. With certain special colours of the Galaxy A16 we check in advance whether the replacement part is available - standard colours in stock.
How long is the warranty on the new Galaxy A16 back cover replacement?
Six months on material and installation. If the new part comes off the frame in that time or shows manufacturing cracks, we replace it free of charge. Not covered: new drop damage, water damage from improper use or mechanical impact on the new glass. The warranty is valid across Austria.
Is the back cover replacement on the Galaxy A16 even worth it?
Yes. A used Galaxy A16 with an intact back cover costs significantly more on the market than the replacement for €79. Add the effort: data migration, new setup, lost 2FA tokens. The replacement keeps the device looking like new - and the Galaxy A16 hardware keeps working for years. Buying new is only worth it when several components are faulty at the same time.
