After the show Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ it was clear that the disassembly of the latest flagship from Samsung by experts from iFixit won't keep you waiting long. The experts really got down to work recently, and the result is the discovery that fixing the hottest news - namely the model Galaxy Note 10+ in the 5G version – nothing will be easy from the production. The phone is even harder to repair than last year's Note 9, which scored 4 out of 10 in the relevant test. Samsung Galaxy The Note 10+ 5G is one point worse.
The smartphone material is largely to blame. Its front and back are made of glass, firmly glued to a metal frame. The experts at iFixit are understandably well prepared for such obstacles, but this type of construction could pose a problem for the average user.
Another obstacle is the layout of the smartphone motherboard. Similar to, for example, the iPhone X with the board Galaxy The Note 10 is located in the upper half of the device to make room for a larger battery. But there is a cable near the face of the phone that blocks access to the battery, which is also firmly glued in place.

But the biggest problem, according to iFixit, lies in the phone's display. According to experts, all normal display repairs require either complete disassembly of the phone or removal of half of its components.
The (un)repairability score which Galaxy The Note 10+ 5G scored in iFixit's test, but it's far from the worst ever. Microsoft's Surface laptop, for example, received a score of zero, with an iFixit spokesperson saying they would give the computer a -1 if it were possible.
