Here you’ll find spare parts for the Samsung Galaxy S26 (series SM-S942): screen, battery, back cover, main camera, flex cables and audio components, for both users repairing their own phone and repair shops. This is the compact model in the S26 range, with a 6.3-inch screen and an interior described in teardown analyses as highly modular, making it easier to replace individual parts without affecting the rest of the phone.
SM-S942: the code that distinguishes the Samsung Galaxy S26 from the S25 and S26+
Before ordering a spare part, check the code under Settings > About phone, where the model number is shown alongside the IMEI. You can also dial *#06# or check the label on the box. All S26 variants begin with SM-S942; only the regional suffix varies:
- SM-S942B and SM-S942B/DS: European and global editions, with an Exynos 2600 processor.
- SM-S942U and SM-S942U1: United States, carrier-locked and unlocked, with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy.
- SM-S942N: South Korea.
- SM-S9420: China, also with Snapdragon.
- SM-S942W and SM-S942E/DS: other regional references listed in the model’s technical catalogues.
Take care not to confuse it with related models. The Galaxy S25 (SM-S931) has a 6.2-inch screen, a smaller body (146.9 x 70.5 mm compared with 149.6 x 71.7 mm) and a 4000 mAh battery, so its screen, back cover and battery are not compatible with the S26. The Galaxy S26+ (SM-S947) is a larger phone with its own components. If your code doesn’t begin with SM-S942, this isn’t the right category for you.
Samsung Galaxy S26 parts by component: Service Pack, Premium and OEM
Service Pack panel and ultrasonic fingerprint reader
The S26 features a 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with FHD+ resolution and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, with an ultrasonic fingerprint reader underneath. The display, touch response and unlocking all depend on this assembly, which is why replacement quality matters so much.
The original Service Pack complete screen for Samsung Galaxy S26 is the part Samsung supplies to its authorised service network. As an Original quality part, it has the same specifications as the factory-fitted panel and is the premium option for anyone looking to restore their phone to its original performance. Teardowns agree that this is the model’s most delicate repair, as it requires heat and new adhesive. Once fitted, it’s advisable to delete and re-register your fingerprints and check the sensor before closing the phone.
4300 mAh with pull tabs
The 4300 mAh battery compatible with Samsung Galaxy S26 (EB-BS942ABE) is Premium quality and matches the capacity and code of the original, EB-BS942ABE. The S25 used a different 4000 mAh battery (EB-BS931ABE), so check the reference rather than relying on its appearance.
In the S26, the battery is secured with pull-tab adhesive, allowing it to be removed without levers or solvents and reducing the risk of bending it. As for the software, we haven’t found any documentation stating that One UI blocks compatible batteries in this model or displays non-genuine part warnings, although Samsung hasn’t specified how it handles battery health data after a replacement carried out outside its service network.
Rear glass with camera frame in five colours
The complete back cover with camera frame compatible with Samsung Galaxy S26 is OEM quality and is available in White, Black, Pink Gold, Grey Shadow and Violet. As it includes the camera frame, there’s no need to transfer it from the broken cover. It’s secured with adhesive, so replacement requires heat and new adhesive: this is a moderately difficult repair.
The S26 does not have built-in Qi2 magnets (it is Qi2 Ready and uses magnetic cases), so none of the back covers includes a magnetic ring. If only the camera glass is broken, the original rear camera lens and frame can be replaced separately without changing the entire back cover.
Screw-fastened modules: camera, flex cables and audio
The original 50 MP main rear camera is the main sensor with optical image stabilisation; the ultra-wide and telephoto cameras are separate modules. For cables, you’ll find the original power and volume button flex cable, the antenna flex cable for Galaxy S26 and the OEM motherboard flex cable, as well as the original earpiece speaker and its earpiece flex cable for Samsung S26. Before ordering a flex cable, compare its shape and connectors with the part you’re removing.
Galaxy S26 modular design: what to check before ordering a replacement
Teardown tests gave the Galaxy S26 a repairability score of 9 out of 10: the cameras, speakers and charging port are screwed in rather than glued. This makes it possible to replace a single module without disturbing other components, so you only need to order the parts you require.
The downside is the screen, which remains the most labour-intensive repair. Don’t confuse it with the S26 Ultra, whose privacy display has a different repair process and different parts. Also bear in mind that the IP68 rating applies to the phone as it leaves the factory: once it has been opened, water resistance depends on the seal, so don’t take it for granted.
Frequently asked questions from Samsung Galaxy S26 repair shops and users
Can I fit a Galaxy S25 screen or battery in the S26?
No. The S26 is taller and wider, its screen measures 6.3 inches compared with 6.2 inches, and its 4300 mAh battery has a different code. Galaxy S25 (SM-S931) components won’t fit.
Are the same parts compatible with the European SM-S942B and the US SM-S942U?
The documented difference between the variants is the processor, either Exynos 2600 or Snapdragon. We haven’t found any differences in the screen, battery or back cover, but always check the part before fitting flex cables connected to the board.
Do I need to replace the entire back cover if only the camera glass is broken?
Not necessarily. The S26 allows you to replace the camera lens without replacing the rear panel, as long as the back cover is still intact.
Is it difficult to replace the Galaxy S26 battery?
It’s one of the model’s easier repairs thanks to its pull tabs. The most labour-intensive part is removing the glued back cover, which should be replaced or resealed with new adhesive.
