Got a Samsung S10 Ultra, son dropped and screen is shattered.

Keen to get a screen replacement.

Anywhere in the country preferably South Island that can do this?

I am assuming it is not cost prohibitive.

When I shattered the glass on the rear of a Samsung S9+ (why do they make rears of phones out of glass?!) I used Samsung to do it; just couriered the phone to them and they had it done pretty quickly. Decided to go legit rather than risk it with some flybynight repairer.

Back in 2019 it cost me $230 - I'd be interested to know what it costs now, and also for the actual screen not just a piece of glass.

Contact details for them:

Would a Type C to 3.5mm Aux adapter not do?

Be aware what a USB-C to 3.5" socket adapter really is. It is taking the digital signal via USB and converting it to an analogue output, so it is really a small digital to analogue converter - in other words, a DAC. The ones advertised as USB-C to 3.5" adapters are usually very cheap and do not mention being a DAC for the very good reason that you get what you pay for - the DAC is so cheap the sound quality is not very good. However, if you do not hear the difference between good and bad sound quality (lots of people do not), then it may be just fine for you. If not, then start looking for something that actually advertises it is a DAC.

And also be aware that phones that have a 3.5" socket will have an inbuilt DAC. The ones in phones tend to be on the reasonably decent end of the cheap DACs, but if you are any sort of audiophile, you will not find the sound to be very good.

thanks for the tip, didn't think about that.

i actually have a Fiio E17 DAC that i can use but i am after something cheap and nasty to provide backing track for instrument practice.

bought a host of cables for 50 bucks from PB Tech after the $700 screen shock
