Samsung Galaxy S5

  1. Galaxy S5 - Summary 01

    We’ll start with the biggest change: The Samsung Galaxy S5’s display is glued in place. Of course, Samsung had to do this to get the IP67 certification. Unfortunately, that means extra work and a major step backward for anyone who wants to repair this smartphone. You have to be very careful when removing the display. It’s also harder to replace other parts because you almost always have to remove the display. We’re sorry to say that repairing the S5 is a lot more work than it was for previous models.
    In terms of repairs, we have to give Samsung’s new flagship model a pretty bad grade.

    You can remove the battery without tools
    Glued-on parts
    The LCD and glass are a single unit and will make replacing the display expensive
    Display is glued on; requires heat gun and patience
    You can’t replace a lot of the parts unless you take off the display
