Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is the second smartphone model with a folding display from the Korean manufacturer after the Galaxy Fold. The device just went on sale yesterday, and today a video of its disassembly from the YouTube channel is available .
Disassembling the smartphone begins with peeling off the glass back panel, which is typical for many modern devices, of which there are two in the Galaxy Z Flip, under the influence of high temperature. This operation gives access to the smartphone's board, folding mechanism, cameras and batteries, of which there are two in the device.
I am glad that operations such as replacing a connector, microphones or speakers in a new device are no more difficult to perform than in most modern smartphones.
However, in order to replace the foldable display, the smartphone will have to be completely disassembled. Although, with the proper skill, it is quite possible to make such repairs, as evidenced by the video from β after complete disassembly and reassembly, the smartphone started up as if nothing had happened.
I wonder how iFixit experts will assess the repairability of the Galaxy Z Flip?
