So, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is here with a slightly prettier design and a lighter body. But what’s really going on inside this beast of a phone? Thanks to a teardown video by PhoneRepairGuru on YouTube, we’ve got the inside scoop—literally. Spoiler: it’s easier to repair than the S24 Ultra, and Samsung’s made some sneaky little changes you’ll want to know about.
What’s new/different inside?
The back glass comes off with just a suction cup easily. That’s a big win for anyone who’s ever tried to fix their phone and ended up with more broken parts than they started with.
Once inside, things look familiar but with some clever tweaks. The wireless charging coil has been repositioned, likely to make room for Qi 2 tech, the latest and greatest in wireless charging. And the battery? It’s got redesigned pull tabs and adhesive that makes it way easier to remove and they are even reusable. That’s a game-changer for DIY repairs.
There’s also a new NFC coil that detects the S Pen. Samsung hasn’t spilled the beans on what this means for users yet, but it’s clear they’re making the S Pen experience even smoother.
Here’s a reason why the phone is lighter
The motherboard is a bit smaller this time, which probably helped Samsung shave off some weight. And while the camera module looks the same as last year’s (same layout for the main, ultra-wide, and telephoto sensors), the rest of the internals feel more refined.
There’s also a rubber gasket around the USB-C port for water resistance and a green spacer to keep the port snug against the screen. It’s these little touches that show Samsung’s paying a little bit of attention to the details.
The battery, display, and camera setup are all easy to access and replace, which is great news for anyone who likes to keep their phone running for years instead of tossing it at the first sign of trouble.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra isn’t just a powerhouse—it’s built to last. With improved repairability and some smart internal tweaks, Samsung is clearly listening to what users want. While the S25 Ultra is far away from the repairability standards set by some other brands such as Fairphone or HMD, it definitely belongs to a sweet spot between repairability and durability.
