Samsung Galaxy S8 | S8+ Back Glass Price in Kenya, Specifications & Features

The Samsung Galaxy S8 | S8+ Back Glass is a replacement rear panel for repairing a Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ with cracked, shattered, heavily scratched or otherwise damaged back glass.

The replacement restores the external rear surface while retaining the appropriate openings for components such as the rear camera, flash and fingerprint sensor.

Samsung launched the Galaxy S8 and S8+ with curved glass construction on both sides. The standard Galaxy S8 measures 148.9 × 68.1 × 8.0mm, while the larger S8+ measures 159.5 × 73.4 × 8.1mm, so their replacement back panels are model-specific rather than interchangeable.

Replacement Rear Glass for Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+

A damaged rear panel does not necessarily mean the entire phone housing needs replacement. When the underlying frame and internal components remain serviceable, replacing the back glass can restore the phone's appearance and protect its internal components.

Correct installation is important because the S8 series uses a glass rear panel secured to the phone's frame.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 | S8+ Back Glass price in Kenya ranges from KES 2,299 to KES 2,999.

Specifications & Features

Samsung Galaxy S8 Compatibility

The Galaxy S8 replacement back glass is designed for the Samsung Galaxy S8 / SM-G950 model family.

The Galaxy S8 measures approximately 148.9 × 68.1 × 8.0mm.

A replacement intended for the S8 should therefore be matched specifically to the S8 rather than the physically larger S8+.

Samsung Galaxy S8+ Compatibility

The Galaxy S8+ replacement back glass is designed for the Samsung Galaxy S8+ / SM-G955 model family.

The S8+ measures approximately 159.5 × 73.4 × 8.1mm.

Glass Rear Construction

Samsung originally equipped both devices with Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and rear.

The replacement back glass is intended to restore this glass-backed exterior after physical damage.

Camera Cutout

The replacement panel accommodates the original rear-camera assembly.

Both Galaxy S8 models feature a 12MP Dual Pixel rear camera, with the camera positioned alongside other rear-mounted components.

Fingerprint Sensor Cutout

The Galaxy S8 generation uses a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, positioned beside the camera assembly.

Compatible back glass therefore includes the appropriate opening for the original fingerprint sensor.

Restores a Damaged Rear Panel

Back glass replacement is suitable when the existing rear cover is:

• Cracked
• Shattered
• Chipped
• Deeply scratched
• Damaged during a drop
• Cosmetically worn

Model-Specific Fit

The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ may share a similar design, but their dimensions differ significantly.

Samsung specifies:

• Galaxy S8: 148.9 × 68.1 × 8.0mm
• Galaxy S8+: 159.5 × 73.4 × 8.1mm

The correct back glass must therefore be selected for the exact phone model.

Professional Installation Recommended

Back-glass replacement requires removal of the damaged rear panel, cleaning of the frame and correct positioning of the replacement adhesive and glass.

Professional installation is recommended to reduce the possibility of damaging the battery, fingerprint-sensor connection, camera components or other internal parts.

Important Water-Resistance Consideration

Replacing the rear glass involves opening the factory-sealed housing. The phone's original factory sealing should therefore not be assumed to remain intact after a repair.

Water resistance after repair depends on replacement parts, adhesive, workmanship and testing.
