Samsung Galaxy Note 7 proves difficult repairable – TechTastic

The team at iFixit has managed to lay his hands on the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, which means that the unit is dismantled completely. The teardown shows that the Note 7 like many other high-end devices from Samsung is difficult to repair, however, the phablet have gotten a better score than repair the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. Opening the case proved to be a difficult chore because Samsung did not use screws on the outside, so there has to be dropped on a heat gun and suction cups.

The phone has been given a repair score of 4 out 10 and that’s a point more than 3 out of 10 score from the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. The biggest problem is the curved screen and Gorilla Glass on the front and back. Luckily there are to report positives, as iFixit notes that most of the components are modular and therefore easier to replace when they break down, however, you must first obtain separate the housing without the screen or glass to break.

the most expensive part of a smartphone is in almost all cases the screen and because of the curved screen prices for the Galaxy Note 7 will be even higher. Furthermore, the improved layout of the cables, the site writes that ensures that the charging port can be replaced without any need to remove the screen. This is important news because the charging port in many cases one of the first components is that it moves, but on the Note 7 you do in that case have to worry about a cracked screen.

Samsung in the development of the Note 7 also takes into account the replacement of the battery, namely, it can be removed without having the entire board must be removed from the housing. But as usual there are exercised under the battery and the glass back of strong adhesive making these components must be removed very carefully to avoid accidents.

The battery is protected by small walls that are embedded in the back , so that water can be kept outside the door, and also it also makes the enclosure stronger. A double-walled system is also shown around the frame of the discs 7, presumably again in order to protect the device against water. We also see that many of the Galaxy Note 7 components are identical to those of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.

In the Netherlands, it is now possible to place a pre-order for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 the suppliers can either go for a mobile phone handset or a Note 7 in combination with a subscription. Should you be sure that you receive the Note 7 to the release date at home, we recommend you not to wait too long to order. The actual launch will take place on Friday, September 9th
