This is a failure: Samsung Galaxy S21 received only 4 points out of 10 for maintainability

Just in time for the start of sales of the new flagships of the Samsung Galaxy S21 family in Ukraine, iFixit specialists released an article,

dedicated to the analysis of the basic model.

What is the problem

Let us remind you that the Galaxy S21 has a plastic bodyand a flat screen, which would seem to simplify the repair process. And indeed, opening the gadget is not difficult: the fasteners use identical screws, which require only one screwdriver. And it makes repairs much easier.

But problems arise with the displayand a battery. The battery is firmly glued, and the screen is very fragile and may break during “opening”. But these are the parts that break down most often in a smartphone.

Additionally, as iFixit notes, many components are modular and can be replaced independently, but the lack of a headphone jack means double the load and wear on the USB-C port.

As a result, the Samsung Galaxy S21 received only 4 points out of 10 for repairability.
