Samsung’s S23 Ultra is making waves. Apparently, the South Korean giant is catching up with Apple in both hardware and software. I’ll let the tech reviewers decide if that’s true or not, I’m more interested in what’s new under the hood.

You give it 4/10 but other repair channels give it 9/10…
So what is going on here? Why have you more trouble and negative view on it than others? Explain it.
Compared to iPhone14, it get much negative score and it's reported software locked. Then compared to others, iPhone 14 should have 2/10 score here.
I saw they did same thing with others device which are more repair friendly but this guy's jut favor apple. They just told iphone 14 is good but whole thing lock in software even backpart . And coust much .
It's look like Deception.
still too little in my opnion. we gotta get back to the days where the battery were easly removeable and we gotta force modular design with standards for parts for the whole industry, the way the USB-C is going, but with all internal parts. standards needs to be enforced and mandated. it will make phones bulkier, yes, but honestly i don't care for a few more inches, and i think you shoudn't either.
"Catching up to apple in hardware"? I think you'll find they've been ahead of apple in hardware for years.
but will it work when you put it back together?
Ya the heatpipe
Denatured alcohol
Cameras are getting bigger and motherboard is getting smaller…
Completely useless video to watch
You didn't even show the part numbers inside that Samsung put in a $2500 Canadian Smartphone
You are interested in an unnecessary tab to remove there Battery for half of your video
Completely useless video to watch
Personally I am disappointed with your disassembly …
You make no reference to the parts inside unfortunately,
except for the camera
Do we have LPDDR5X memory from there?
Have we Universal Flash Storage UFS 4.0 ?
You're not talking about the Qualcomm 8 G2 processor
The modem in a Smartphone surely not useful either you do not speak about it
X70
No inventory of parts that have actually been installed inside the Smartphone
You say, what interests you is under the hood
And you practically talk about there tab install to remove there battery
It's like opening the hood of a race car
And only watch there battery once the hood is open
And you won't watch the engine with the supercharge
Seriously, probably your worst disassembly since the existence of Ifixit
Internal designs looks like cheap phone made by some 10 years old kid. 😂
Habibi come to India….kids are repairing Samsung phones
Linus is a tool. I can't stand his channel anymore. He's become an arrogant f***.
See other tear downs – watching you guys take that battery out was pitiful 🤣
ok all the hands collectively pulling the battery out gave me a good laugh lol 1:50
1:55 I'm sure it was for the lulz but for the love of god use some alcohol.
Catching up to Apple?
I only wish apple didn’t soft lock its components.
So they basically just added a useless pull tab to their 5 tons of glue on the battery…
Samsung "catching up" with Apple? Seriously?
Good luck getting the original battery WITHOUT BEING FORCED to buy the expensive display as well.
Yes, they make you buy both
I hate your little jabs at Apple.
I never have to worry about any of this as I have been using smartphones for 13 years and have never needed a repair.I am very careful with expensive devices.
How do you do a teardown video and not show off the new, larger, vapor chamber? No shots of the motherboard? Jesus.
1:31 i don't agree at all on this pulltab. Your perception is IMHO influenced by the fact you tear down brand new phones, so the "stretchy adhesive trips" Apple uses work as intended on new iphones. But if you're replacing the battery after 3 years of ownership, all the heat cycles from charging and using the phone "destroy" that adhesive, meaning no matter how careful you are those stretchy stips are gonna break and you end up having to pry out, risking battery puncture.
This kind of "huge pulltab" Samsung has adopted (and was already in use by Huawei and One Plus i believe) might prove less convenient but it gives a consistent battery removal procedure even years down the line.
Also, this requires no additional tools, while the iPhone adhesive strips have to be grabbed with tweezers and almost always more extensive disassembly of the phone (taking out the taptic engine for example).
Will you guys be doing a chip ID at all? There's definitely some pretty significant changes to the sound. I am curious to see if Samsung have upgraded the amplifiers to the newer higher powered Cirrus models that are in the ROG 5/6 phones or if they've just stuck with the older models, and only upgraded the speakers.
cracking work. amazing tools.
i disagree on the score. at least you can repair this device without the manufacturer.
even has an open bootloader.
I have a galaxy s5 to play arround and i'm still able to install new custom software. All about the options.
What I don’t like is this huge heat pipe going straight to the battery. Good luck in having good battery life after one year of use, the battery could suffer from the processors heat!
Samsung finally got tired of iFixit and JerryRigEverything harping on their insane battery adhesive and improved the design… Great job you guys!
Samsung phones have always been repairable. The greater worry now is them lobbying to block aftermarket OLED panels being imported to the US.
Nice
I don't understand why they have to glue the battery down so hard. It's like they want it to explode when it comes to a replacement.
batteries shouldnt be glued in to begin with
not sure if thi is an ultra teardown or a classic one
meanwhile samsung: plotting to ban import of all oled screens
That's some pretty good news. After all these years of no pull tab at all, even a barely functional pull tab is a great first move (hopefully of many)
How Completely software locked phone getting 7/10 and a phone without any software locks getting 4/10 For using too much glue. And Samsung provides debugging software for everyone of their phones. Reparability score really needs to include software Not just the hardware.
LMAO, was that an MKBHD reference where he swapped S22 ultra with a S23 in his recent video.
very happy to see a shirt that isn't a lie
Ifixit is mostly a joke because they act like they would produce these products differently but they don’t nor will they ever so it’s a farce and completely hypocritical for them to judge what others do
One major hurdle.
Finding 3 friends to provide (emotional) support.
G’day from Australia. Picking up my S23 ultra pre order when I get home tomorrow 😎
Bahaha the three or four people on the pull tab was hilarious!
I’m glad Samsung Google has partnered up with you guys to help people fix their devices. I wish Apple didn’t software lock all of their components to the motherboard. now, if we want to fix our Apple devices we have to read a long ass manual. i’m glad Google and Samsung just make it quick and easy.
