What i learnt from this video - Always remember to listen to that battery sticker and pull out. - Its ok if you sometimes put it in the wrong hole (no damage) - Keep the screen working so you dont have to make eye contact - Its a good idea to have foam balls, it makes things sound bigger and better.

Zach's major problem in every galaxy device teardown is Samsung using strong adhesives to glue the battery to the device, but now Samsung has started using Pull Tabs, I am sure Zach can now finally upgrade to the S23 Ultra from his Note 10 Plus!.

[@95thRiflesOCI]

If Zach actually takes care of his battery over the years that he has, there is basically no need to replace. My Note 10+ after almost 4 years of use, gets a little over 6 hours of on screen use from 90 to 10. Only reason why I got the S23 ultra was that I got almost $700 off trading in so it was a no brainer after 4 years. But I am not getting the super great battery that everyone else is getting. 8 hours of off screen time when sleeping is almost 3-4% battery loss from this phone which is the same as my note 10+

​@95thRiflesOCI the Note 10+ also has a 700 mAh smaller battery, and the S23Ultra has a faster clocked CPU so I think that it ends up balancing out. You're getting similar battery life on a device that has much newer, faster, and more capable technology.

As glad as I am to see that the battery is now easier to remove, I can't say it ever worried me that much on previous models and I do believe that the issue was made out to be bigger than it really was. I work in device and phone repair and I have to remove Samsung batteries very regularly. But I've always found that if I give it a generous amount of isopropyl as soon as I get the back off, and then undo the screws and other parts while the alcohol does its thing, and then put the phone back on the heat plate for a couple of minutes, the battery pretty much falls out. I'm not saying it's ideal, and I don't use anywhere near as much adhesive when putting the battery back in, but if you have the right tools, it was really not that hard.

[@bwoah7]

That's the thing, "the right tools" Regular people with a bit of technical knowledge wanting to just get a 30-ish dollar part and then replace it themselves at home do not usually also have the tools. I know this from experience, as any form of adhesive was pain for me before I got some isopropyl alcohol (I mostly repair my 10-15yr old phones from my collection, so I don't get to work with adhesive very often)

[@ouch1011]

You have to keep in mind end of life recycling too. Recyclers are not going to spend 10-15 minutes trying to carefully extract a battery. If it is glued into place that well (for no reason) then it’s getting chucked in the garbage, especially if the recycler risks a fire or injury by deforming or stabbing the battery when trying to remove it. Making it easier to remove means that it’s more likely to get recycled at the end of its life rather than chucked in the trash. We have to consider the recycleability of stuff now, especially things like smart phones since they are so heavily used, produced in such high numbers, and discarded so readily. We’ve spend decades not caring about what damage we cause to the planet by just using things and throwing them in landfills or burning them in the classic “out of sight, out of mind” fashion and look where we are now.

Just bought the s23 Ultra a couple weeks back. Pre-ordered it from Verizon. Everyday I come across more reasons to be thrilled with my purchase. Thanks for making my day!

[@GuitarSlayer136]

This is a monumental day for self repair. Things have improved marginally!

[@Kentololable]

No it isnt. Samsung is destroying right to repair.

[@GuitarSlayer136]

@@Kentololable how so?

[@Kentololable]

@@GuitarSlayer136 samsung is attempting to enforce their patent of pixel pattens in OLED screens. "Samsung Display applied for suspension of import and sales of OLED for repair in the U.S. that used its patent without permission." Effectively, if this happens, 3rd party screen repair becomes an impossibility. Look up Louis Rossmann's video on the subject.

​@Kentololable you got samsung confused with apple clown 🤡

[@mondietv9730]

woooh thank you for this.. I was very anxious when I stuck the pin in the Mic hole hahaha I thought I damaged the waterproofing cover 😂😂😂

[@ScottJWaldron]

Glad to see the battery easier to remove. Now if they could figure out how to make the back panel still waterproof while being removable without heat, suction cup, and a thin sharp object... 😄

[@magnarex]

I mean. Does it seem that hard to stick a rubber gasket under some glass? If it had a cover secured with pressure by like 4 to 6 screws with a gasket between it and the main body, it wouldn't need to be heated and cut.

Man, I wanted the s23 Ultra but the size & price was a bit much for me. I downgraded from my 13 Pro Max for the S23 (standard size) and I love it. The pen & cameras are also why I wanted the Ultra, but I couldn't afford it (and honestly if that's the only reasons I wanted it ... I don't need it). 😂 But I love the S23. The size is so comfy in my hands. I've used Android before I swapped to Apple a decade ago and man, do I prefer it more.

كيف كانت التجربة؟

[@tylorsmith7580]

Going for apple to android is an upgrade. Hardly a downgrade even with a base model.

[@t.stephenhaokip5230]

"Hallelujah" 💘💘💘💘😻 that sound was on another level 😂😂😂😂

[@Kyros9119]

Nothing really bad would happen even if the lcd flex cable was as damaged as it is separate and relatively inexpensive. Overall a great move towards improving repairability by samsung. I wish they waterproofed or separated the lcd connector better from now on, water ingress through the speaker, mic or charging port shouldn't have to mean an issue for the lcd too.

[@dhivydhimanth1960]

This year has to be the best in terms of repairability! Both Apple and Samsung have yielded to the right to repair and made changes to their devices to accommodate that. This is a huge win for consumers!

[@Billkelly5]

Yea huge win, what a retarded comment, 99.999 percent of people gets apple care and just bring their phone to apple and get a new one take 10 minutes, And the other people just idiots

[@DotNetWizard]

Since you started making those videos I feel like phone quality has gone up tremendeously. I was that person that changed phones every 6 months and now I am rocking my galaxy s20 ultra for almost 3 years. The battery easily gets me through 1.5 days after all this use and the phone is as fast as the day I got it.

[@sethgarrick6320]

S 20 ultra gang

[@tylorsmith7580]

Your battery simple don't get you through 1.5 days unless you're just texting and calling on it. Post your screen on time of 36 hours to prove it

[@DelhiDevils-o2u]

@ 2:28 Dude wait!!!! Before pulling the battery out, put some alcohol on the sides of the battery. Makes removing it much easier. The frame slight flexed when you pulled the tab.

[@SilverStormShadow]

It's great to see Samsung finally adopt pull tabs to remove the battery, this should increase the longevity of their phones which is obviously great on its own but it's even better now that Samsung is giving all their flagships at least 4 years of Android feature updates.

[@Billkelly5]

No it’s so when they get recalled for catching on fire the can replace them quicker

[@Yielar1]

Good to see Samsung making their phones more repairable finally! After using the S22 Ultra as my daily driver for work and pleasure I upgraded to the S23 Ultra about 2 weeks ago. All I can say is wow. Performance wise it seems like the new S23 Ultra is two generations ahead of last years flagship instead of only one. I'm thinking it's the new UFS 4.0 memory and 5X RAM combined with the beast Snapdragon Gen 2 chip. Runs dramatically faster in day to day tasks all while running much cooler. Normally improved performance comes with worse battery life but not this year thankfully. I'm getting an extra half days worth of battery life on my new phone which is quite impressive to say the least. My phone calls are noticeably more clear with no dropped calls like I had prior with the S22 Ultra...proving the new Qualcomm X70 modem is much improved while being nearly 50% more efficient. One of my favorite upgrades is the speakers that actually have decent bass this year compared to the brutal sound we had in last years S22 Ultra. All in all I'm really enjoying the new phone and that's not even getting into the improved cameras and OIS. Well done Samsung

[@hellcatderkay2061]

unusable and boring in the trash, he's a camera phone and not a phone

[@Billkelly5]

Yea for all the 200 people that repair their phone, easier to buy apple care and get a couple new ones when it gets scratched, idiots

[@marekkowalski3814]

How many hours does a fully charged S22 ultra and S23 ultra battery last?

This video has helped me repair my own phone many times. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻

[@lucasomeister2823]

6:00 omg thanks, you saved my mind 💪

[@DogManDan]

I took advantage of a trade-in and storage pre-purchase upgrade bonus and I am extremely happy with the S23 ultra. My previous LG V60 ThinQ will be missed and the last Samsung I had was an S8 Active which this by far blows everything out of the water for that. Happy to watch the teardown so I hopefully never have to do it myself.

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

I just got my S23U. I could've gotten $200 for my S8 International (Exynos). But decided to keep it, because I'm sorely missing having SD card support and, more importantly, a headphone jack. I did buy two DACs, first one cabled but I regretted after realizing having it in the same pocket, would damage my screen; it was also really treble-heavy. (iBasso DC06) Then I got the Fiio BTR7, which is better and BT, so I can keep it in a different pocket (is also had a cable-mode, if the battery ever dies). It's audio is 'warmer' which is more to my taste. Unfortunately, they both still don't sound as good as the S8's built in audio sounds! 😔😮‍💨 Other than that, it is indeed far superior in every way. What I think I enjoy most, is the stereo sound, though! I was sincerely blown away by the sound quality with Dolby Atmos (Movie) enabled... 😮 Even watching low quality YT videos of someone playing _War Thunder,_ the left and right channel separation and psuedo-surround sound made it very immersive to watch! Hearing fighter aircraft approach from the back left (behind the person playing) and enter the screen on the right, you could hear every bit of its position even though it wasn't on screen! All from _two tiny phone speakers..._ 😯😳🥹 And naturally, watching movies with quality audio is a real treat! [/rambling]
