Although the Galaxy S21 was only released last week, the YouTube channel PBKreviews has taken the lead in dismantling it a few days ago and completed the first evaluation of the ease of repair. The back cover of Galaxy S21 is changed to plastic material. Consumers may think that the material is poor, but from the perspective of maintenance, it is easier to open than the previous generation, and it can be opened with simple tools.
After opening the back cover of the Galaxy S21, as long as you remove the 22-port screw, wireless charging coil and graphite plate, you can see the inside of the phone. It can be seen from the video of PBKreviews that the Galaxy S21 has two sets of 5G antennas and uses graphite as the heat dissipation material for the processor. Compared with the previous generation, most parts of this generation are easier to remove and easier to repair, but the battery and the screen still use a lot of adhesive, which is difficult to remove, and it is quite easy to fail.
Maintenance personnel need some heat and a lot of patience. Coupled with special tools, they can still remove and replace the battery and screen components. After evaluation, PBKreviews gave the Galaxy S21 a repair difficulty score of 7.5 (the higher the repair, the easier it is), but we still wait for the more authoritative iFixit score, because they gave the previous generation Galaxy S20 a score of only 3 points.
