In an industry first initiative, Samsung provides interactive repair facilities for our mobile phone at all service centers across India. Mobile is repaired in front of customer leading to transparency in repair process. Further, to ensure customer satisfaction, Samsung uses its cutting-edge technology to connect and resolve their issues. Some of them are:

Remote Support – This is provided to all Samsung smartphone and Smart TV users. A Samsung call center agent can work on a customer’s smart phone or smart TV remotely through the internet and diagnose the issue online to provide instant resolution.

Live Chat – Customers can reach out to Samsung instantly on its website Www.samsung.com/in/support wherein trained agents and an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based Chat Bot provides instant and accurate information for any queries 24*7, without any wait time.

Video Tips on Samsung Website & YouTube – In this age of social media, it’s an advantage to provide solution to common problems and issues through tutorial videos and product care tips via platforms such as YouTube. Consumers can find amazing tips and do-it-yourself videos on YouTube that can help them resolve their issues. These learning videos allow concepts and ideas to actually become a recall experience.

As part of these efforts, Samsung also has a comprehensive app called 'Samsung Members' which provides customers with the option of live chat, placing service requests, tracking repair progress, remote support and phone diagnostics. Customers can engage with other Samsung fans on the ‘community’ section too.
