It's been a month since Samsung introduced its line Galaxy S22. Unlike previous years, the premium Ultra model is fundamentally different from its smaller variants. So even though they are powered by the same chipsets and share a lot of internal components, the devices are very different in design. Regardless, they are all very difficult to fix.
As in previous years, Samsung's new flagship phones use a strong adhesive to keep the back glass panel, display and battery in place. Therefore, although many internal components can be replaced with just a simple screwdriver, getting to these parts is first of all a demanding and rather lengthy process, which poses a high risk of damage, especially to the glass components. Not to mention the fact that the battery has no tabs to make it easier to remove.
