Plenty of Durban households run a Galaxy Tab A8 as the family tablet: YouTube in the lounge, homework at the table, recipes in the kitchen. The Wi-Fi model, the SM-X200, does all of it on a 10.5 inch screen that sits right where life happens.

When that screen breaks, it can be fixed properly. Onnuri Tech is an authorised Samsung service centre in Umhlanga, the parts are original Samsung, the technicians are trained, and the price shown for the repair includes both the part and the fitting.

What we can replace on this device

Common questions

What is the difference between the SM-X200 and the SM-X205?

Mobile data, and nothing else. The SM-X200 is Wi-Fi only with no SIM tray, while the SM-X205 takes a nano SIM for LTE. Both are the same December 2021 tablet with a 10.5 inch 1920 x 1200 LCD and a 7040mAh battery, and the screen repair is R3 178 on either.

The screen is the only repair listed. What if the battery or charging is the problem?

The R3 178 screen is the only repair we carry a price for on the SM-X200. There is no listed battery or charging port price for it, so do not book against a figure that does not exist. On a tablet that has been working a 7040mAh battery since December 2021, a charge that no longer lasts is usually the cell, and that is worth knowing before you spend on the glass.

Is a 2021 Tab A8 worth R3 178?

It depends what it is used for. For a tablet that stays at home for reading, video and school work, a 10.5 inch screen fitted for R3 178, with a three month warranty on the part and the work, keeps a usable device going. If it is already crawling on everyday apps, the Unisoc T618 chip inside it is not going to get quicker, and the money is better put towards a replacement.
