Dissection of Galaxy S23 Ultra + video

The Galaxy S23 Ultra looks very similar to last year’s Samsung flagship, but when we take a look at the internals of this device, we can see more differences. One of these major differences is applied in the way the battery works, which now allows you to remove the battery within a few seconds after opening the back cover and replace it if needed.

famous channel JerryRigEverything In his latest video, he went to the autopsy of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. This video shows how to get your hands on the internals of Samsung’s new flagship. To do this, as in the past, you need to use a heating device such as a hair dryer to remove the back frame of the device, which is attached to the body with glue.

Galaxy S23 Ultra battery replacement becomes easier

Next, you need to remove the coil related to wireless charging and then proceed to open the tapes that connect the different parts of the device to each other. Doing so reveals one of the biggest internal changes to the Galaxy S23 Ultra, which the YouTuber says he’s been waiting for for 8 years.

In this phone, the battery is no longer attached to the body chassis with a large amount of glue; Now, Samsung has placed a small plastic in the left corner of the battery, which you can pull to remove the battery. Therefore, unlike in the past, doing this does not require special tools or chemical solvents and has made the battery replacement process much simpler.

Of course, it should be mentioned that the iFixit website had a different experience in separating the Galaxy S23 Ultra battery with this method. The website says that a lot of force is required to remove the battery, and the part does not come off easily. But this issue is probably related to a specific example of the S23 Ultra that iFixit got; Because Samsung’s goal in changing this design must have been to make the replacement process easier, and what iFixit described probably won’t be seen on all devices.
