As usual, this time too the new phone got into the hands of iFixIt technicians. Now the technicians have looked into the guts of Samsung Galaxy The S5 mini, which was introduced earlier this month and is the official "mini" version Galaxy S5 with weaker hardware but full features. Understandably, there were interesting comments from the technicians, photos of the inside of the phone and, finally, a general summary in which the technicians described what problems people might encounter when repairing the phone at home, and along with them, an overall assessment of "repairability".
Samsung Galaxy In this regard, the S5 mini received the same rating as the large model, a 5 out of 10. The biggest obstacle is the display, which must be removed to repair any component inside the phone (except the battery), increasing the risk of damage to the phone if the display is handled carelessly. In addition, it is stuck with a lot of glue, which requires very careful and continuous prying of the display and the need to heat the area so as not to damage the glass or damage the cables at the same time. On the other hand, repairing the display is much faster. After a lengthy procedure with the removal of the display, it is already very easy to replace some components, such as the camera, 3.5-mm jack, vibration motor or speakers.
