    • Alle Schrauben lassen sich mit einem Kreuzschlitz-Schraubendreher lösen.

    • Viele Komponenten sind modular und können einzeln ausgetauscht werden - allerdings ist die Ladebuchse mit der Hauptplatine verlötet.

    • Der Akku lässt sich tauschen, ist allerdings unnötig stark verklebt.

    • Vorder- und Rückseite bestehen aus Glas und sind verklebt. Dies erhöht das Risiko eines Bruchschadens und erschwert das Öffnen des Geräts.

    • Zum Tausch des Displays ist viel Zerlegearbeit und ein Kampf mit zähem Kleber nötig.

I was waiting for this teardown. A 3 out of 10 ?!?! I never dreamed that the score could get worse from the 4 from last year. Say what you want about Apple, at least they are somewhat customer “friendly” and make it relatively easy to fix the screen or replace the battery. I wanted to love the S10 but repairability is a huge factor for me. Sigh… I guess I will just to live with the Xr’s stupid notch.

It is a shame. We are always ragging on Apple for being so anti-consumer but their iPhone has remained as one of the most repairable phones out there while our precious android phones are all glued together. Feels bad man. :( Not looking forward to chiseling the back off my Oneplus 6 to replace the battery when the time comes.

The new Galaxy Watch looks like a win for consumers though! If smart watches are your thing.

I Guess I'm kinda lost as to the point of worrying about things like this? Smartphone batteries have gotten better and better and are far from the days when we used to actually carry around extra batteries because we had to! LoL ~ And generally new devices seem to last the “practical” life of the phone, even with more of us keeping our devices longer.

Most people lack the skills necessary to disassemble even a non-glass backed phone without damaging it! LoL ~ And most simply upgrade after 2-3 years use max for the latest tech updates…

Those that make buying decisions based on being able to physically break down and repair their own device are really just a small group of super nerds that feel every little thing should be made for their ease of use… Which to me is just ridiculous, and I'm one of those super nerds! LoL

These devices continue to get more and more powerful yet everything is crammed into nice neat pocket size packages! There has to be trade offs for all this power in such small packages…

Found the anti-repair bill shill.

You do realize what site you’re on, right? Hint: it’s not iDontNeedToFixIt.com

Do you guys know if the normal s10+ screen will work with the ceramic model?

So , if I fell and smashed the Bixby button (not that I use it) where in this teardown would I replace it?

Glue, so much glue.. FFS what’s wrong with a screw? If you’re gonna make everything out of paperthin glass (wireless charging works through plastic too so that argument is nonsense), then why not use screws…. Oh that’s right, you want people to buy new phones instead, I feel samsung has gotten even worse than apple nowadays when it comes to preventing repairs, or at least making it so that the costs are stacked up so much that buying a new one nearly outweighs the cost of repair

Ehm Aha -
