Hot on the heels of its standard Galaxy S7 teardown, the folks over at iFixit have now published its deconstruction guide for the curved variant of Samsung’s flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S7 edge. Just like its non-rounded counterpart, the S7 edge earns a rather meagre repairability score of just 3 out of 10, with 0 being the most difficult to fix. The team claims that the reason behind the scanty rating is due to convenience. For a broken USB to be replaced, the entire display has to be lifted from the frame, which is a tedious task owing to an abundance of small parts, screws and waterproofing adhesive.
Check out the teardown images below.
