The first disassembly of the Samsung Galaxy S22. The smartphone received 7.5 points out of 10 for maintainability
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 along 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.
The compact motherboard is placed in the upper part, the 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 scanner. 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 assembled (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.

It will not be an iPhone 16 Pro Max, but almost a tablet. A well-known insider confirmed the increase in screen sizes in the new iPhone
Well-known Bloomberg journalist and insider Mark Gurman confirmed the recently appeared information that in the iPhone 16 line, each model will have its own screen size.
More specifically, the iPhone 16 Pro should get a 6.3-inch display instead of the usual 6.1 inches, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max display will grow from 6.7 to 6.9 inches. On the one hand, this will make the older model stand out on the market with its impressive dimensions, on the other hand, the iPhone 16 Pro will become more attractive for those for whom 6.1 inches was not enough, and 6.7 inches in Pro Max was already a lot.
Considering that the well-known insider Ming-Chi Kuo also spoke about the increase in older iPhones, there are no particular doubts about such changes in the iPhone. On the other hand, there is still more than a year before the release of this line, which cannot be discounted.
