PBK Reviews has posted a new video that captures the disassembling of the Samsung Galaxy S22+ smartphone. Another video from the same source also captures the durability test for the Galaxy S22+.
The Samsung Galaxy S22+ disassemble video is about 9 minutes and shows a step-by-step decoupling of the smartphone with the narrator providing some guidance on the process. The first thing that was done was the removal of the rear panel from its adhesive. In the process, the camera hump of the S22+ and lenses were extricated together with the backplate as a single assembly. Up to 20 screws were removed to reveal the inner part of the phone after carefully taking out the NFC and wireless charging coils.
The battery cables were then disconnected, which enables the removal of the main board of the Galaxy S22+. The battery was removed using isopropyl alcohol after the extraction of the daughterboards. The alcohol was meant to loosen the adhesive holding the component in place. The two auxiliary antennas will come to view after the separation and they are compatible with mmWave 5G signals. The screen decoupling is a bit more seamless than previous iterations of the Samsung Galaxy and it comes apart after the application of heat to the perimeter of the display.
The repairability score of the Samsung Galaxy S22+ was 7.5/10 which is quite impressive. This means that the device could be decoupled or parts replaced with less effort as compared to some of its predecessors and other models with a low repairability score.
