Just two days after the arrival of the South Korean flagships, the usual near-mandatory durability and disassembly tests were conducted on the smartphones via PBKreviews YouTube.

During the durability test, the phone was submerged for 60 seconds, while during the scratch check of the screen, they looked at what it had to do according to the Mohs hardness scale.

Thanks to Corning Gorilla Glass Victus + protection, the mobile received an eight-point rating in the latter test, while immersion in water did not cause no technical malfunction, so the IP-68 rating is up to date.

The frame, buttons, camera mount, and SIM tray are all made of aluminum, contributing to solid structural integrity. Bending the Galaxy S22 from both sides did not result in injury, so the phone received a 10/10 score.

During disassembly, the glass backing, which is attached to the metal camera frame, which is held by glue, was removed in the first round. A total of nineteen screws must be removed to access the wireless charger coil as well as the NFC antenna.

By tensioning the flexible cables of the battery and the top plastic cover, we can view the motherboard, which is home to key components such as the chipset, RAM, storage space and the three rear cameras. The 50 megapixel main sensor and 10 megapixel telephoto lens modules have OIS, which is also perfectly visible in the video.

Replacing the screen requires you to pick up the flavors of the phone while warming the front cover to loosen the glue. The 3700 mAh battery has no pull-out tabs, so the lid can only be opened by soaking in alcohol and using a smaller tensioner.
