Overview
- The Aug. 25 teardown shows Samsung retained removable dual batteries with pull tabs, replacing the heavy adhesive seen in earlier models.
- Phillips-head screws are used throughout the assembly, enabling disassembly with widely available tools.
- Internal components disconnect with minimal fuss, with connectors described as unplugging "like a little Lego."
- The multilayer inner screen is characterized as near-impossible to remove without damage, and the inlaid cover glass leaves little space to pry.
- Coverage concludes that skilled users may find common repairs more manageable, but typical owners still face high risk and likely high costs for display-related fixes.
