Contents
Those who pre-ordered their Galaxy S25 devices are getting closer to receiving them. In the meantime, reviews and durability tests have let them know what to expect from the phone once they get their hands on it. Now, a teardown video shows the Galaxy S25 Ultra being disassembled to see how many internal changes it has compared to previous generations.
Teardown video reveals the Galaxy S25 Ultra is more repairable than previous models
In recent years, big tech companies have improved the repairability of their products. Names like Google and even Apple have tried to take steps forward in this area, and Samsung does not want to be left behind. The efforts of the South Korean giant are reflected in the first step of disassembling Samsung’s latest most premium phone. The teardown video by YouTuber PhoneRepairGuru shows how you can remove the rear glass using a suction cup tool and isopropyl alcohol for the edges.
When you open it, you will see a wireless charging coil slightly different from the one on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. This is probably due to the new support for Qi 2 technology. Removing a few screws and a protective cover will give you access to the battery. The cell features redesigned pull tabs that make it easier to remove. There’s a new reusable adhesive wrapped around it as well.
Removing the Bluetooth S Pen helped optimize internal space
You probably already know that the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s S Pen lost its Bluetooth features—Air Gestures mainly. This is because Samsung removed the Bluetooth chip from the stylus, citing low usage. So, the company implemented NFC as a new way of interaction between the device and the stylus. It will probably serve to detect if the S Pen is inside the device or not. The wireless charging area for the S Pen is gone, as it will no longer be needed.
The removal of Bluetooth from the S Pen and other internal optimizations helped make the motherboard smaller. The SIM card tray and USB-C port are also easily accessible, boosting repairability. The internal design allows for easier replacement of components such as the battery, display, and camera.
