The first teardown of the Samsung Galaxy S22 has been published

The Galaxy S22 turned out to be a pretty solid smartphone, but how is it organized inside and is it easy to replace some components in case of a breakdown? The video below answers these questions.

You need to open the Galaxy S22 like most modern smartphones - from the back panel. And it really is framed in glass, although it looks like plastic. To separate the cover from the body, you must first heat it, and then pick it up and walk around the perimeter with a flat object, since the cover is thoroughly glued.

The components are accessed by unscrewing 19 screws - and then three more screws hold the daughter motherboard down. The latter contains a microphone, a SIM card slot, a USB-C port. So in which case it’s not possible to simply replace the port - you will have to change the entire daughter board.

A compact motherboard is located at the top, and camera modules are connected to it. To replace the screen, you need to remove key components and unfasten the cables connecting the screen and the fingerprint reader. And to get the battery, you will have to fill in the liquid to dissolve the glue under it - there are no tongues for quick removal of the battery.

Overall, the Galaxy S22 is disassembled (and repaired) like most other smartphones, but due to the fact that not all components are easy to replace, the device received a 7.5 out of 10 points for repairability.
