The ever-reliable folks over at iFixit have just published their teardown of Samsung’s flagship smartphone of 2016, the Galaxy S7, showing us just how arduous it is or isn’t to repair. Although the handset only took seventeen steps to be dismantled, it did prove to be pretty difficult to prise apart due to an abundance of small parts, screws and waterproofing adhesive, which, therefore, made it somewhat tedious to rebuild. For this reason, the disassembly team rated the device a measly 3 out of 10 on the repairability scale, with 10 being the easiest and 0 the most difficult.
A few key images from the teardown can be seen below:
