SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 TEARDOWN

For those around the world who are still waiting to get their hands on the new Samsung Galaxy S4, you may not want to see what iFixit has done to the newest member of what the brand likes to call our “life companions.” So, what goes into making our newest friend tick? After unscrewing 11 standard screws, iFixit gives you an in-depth look at all the S4′s components, which the site believes is much easier to repair than their competitors from Apple and Google, giving it a score of 8 out of 10, with 10 being the easiest for do-it-yourselfers to handle. The only interesting findings were the fact that Samsung decided to offer a removable battery and that removing the front panel reveals that the glass and LCD are fused together and glued to the frame, meaning you’ll be doing a lot of moving with one swoop. Other than that, there aren’t too many other surprises, but that shouldn’t stop you from viewing the entire walk-through below.
