In the latest Teardown posts, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and the Galaxy S22 are both being torn down and assessed for their repairs by iFixit. We had previously seen other teardown from Ultra S22 by PBKreviews so we would easily through important things.
The first thing that was recorded was Samsung offered an official repair guide to opening devices, even in French. Ifixit speculates this is likely because of the French semi-new improvement index, which gives the company’s instishering to sell devices (or apparently) can be repaired. This guide recommends small gel and fire packages. Samsung is known in the past to use rigs designed to retrieve devices. Here are X-rays of the two devices provided by creative electrons.
Even with heat and careful adhesive solving, the rear panel that curves Ultra S22 rupture while being removed. It’s evidence that even those who have done hundreds of times may still damage fragile components.
Two things that take up a lot of space on the Galaxy S22 Ultra is a red silo, and a 10x periscop camera assembly. To help this, Samsung must move the vibrating motorbike, integrate it into lower speaker assembly.
Teardown shows that there are many graphite bands, thermal pasta, and a larger steam room. All of these efforts indicate that the chip is stronger trying to follow with Apple Silicon, but at the expense of more heat produced. Ifixit shows that Samsung must make cellphones a little thicker so that it can more efficiently push the heat of the chip, while also adding space to remove several battery pull tabs – which the cellphone does not have.
Ifixit also publishes each device chip guide, if you want to peek into what components are used across their phone and location.
Phone both given a 3/10 repair score. The only advantage for improvement is the use of standard Philips screws, but battery replacement is still difficult without the pull tab, cellphone design does not prioritize screen repairs, and now, Samsung does not offer a free service manual for its phone.
