Samsung has taken its first tentative baby steps in the path toward giving users the option to self-repair their devices. These new repair kits are only available for a few select models, and new parts could still cost a pretty penny.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the company shared<\/span> its new repair kits carrying genuine parts in partnership with iFixit. The new kits come with guides and tools as well, but so far parts are limited to screens, charging ports, and back glass.
