Following Jerry Rig Everything’s durability test, PBKreviews has now released their teardown of the Samsung Galaxy S24. This teardown is live on the reviewer’s YouTube channel and in the video, we see the teardown of the base model of Samsung’s new series. Through the video, we get to see the various components of this flagship device and how accessible they are for repairs.
As it turns out, Samsung did a great job making this device as repairable as possible for users. To take off the back panel and access the device’s components, repairers will need heat to soften the adhesive. After prying off the back glass panel, users get access to the wireless charging coil and NFC component, under this sits the battery, cameras, speakers, motherboard, mainboard, subboard, microphone, and so much more.
Access to each of these parts is easy with screws holding the main and sub-boards in place. Taking off these screws will give easy access to all components of this device, which ccome out after unplugging each flex cable. For the screen to take off, heat needs to be applied to the screen to soften the adhesive under the screen that helps hold it in place.
Well, due to the design of the screen and how it attaches to the frame, detaching a working screen will damage it. For the most part, those who buy this phone will only need to take out the screen for replacement if it goes bad. After running through the disassembly or teardown of this device, PBKreviews gives the Samsung Galaxy S24 base model a 9.5/10 repairability score.
Putting the device back together was also straightforward, as parts easily snap in place. So if you’re considering getting a Samsung Galaxy S24, you can rest assured that repairing it if it goes bad won’t be an issue. Samsung did a good job on the design of this device, making it very reparable.
