[@NeoDag]

I am impressed. s22 and s22 Plus teardowns and nobody else has even done one. Keep up the good work.

[@PBKreviews]

Thank you! :)

[@Bafurin]

@@PBKreviews Hi, i asked a question about what about if u put pin injektor in ABOVE micropfone hole? The one above the phone, i did it by accident, when i realized , sim slot isnt even there, but on the bottom. on my S22+. Can u please conform, that as u said in video, mic hole on top of the phone has same protection as on below?? thanks u for the anser.

Thank you so much for explaining where haptic motor is located. Sorry to see your s22+ screen got compromised. Hope you can fix that.

Insanely fast, awesome video as always!

[@PBKreviews]

Thank you!

[@Pawcio2115]

Good video. I'd like to see a test with the standard S22 and the fps indicator on KZbin, Netflix, HBO GO and when nothing on display is moving to check if they optimize display refresh rate and what is the real minimum refresh rate. You can find that option it in the developer settings.

[@PBKreviews]

Thanks, I tested that for someone and lowest it would go on S22 and the Ultra was 24. Not sure if its something they will enable via software update for it to go lower on the ultra.

[@thomasmeijer6275]

On the s22 ultra the refresh rate can go down to 1hz

[@Sergiy.Dobruy]

Thank you for such a detailed disassembly of the phone. Okay so the cooling system in the S22+ is done

[@PBKreviews]

You're welcome :)

[@Alyssonft92]

Nice video! Can you test the screen refresh rate of the S22 and S22+? I saw on twitter that samsung changed the minimum frequency from 10hz to 48hz.

[@Flash363]

If you go into any store that has them on display you can test them out yourself. That's exactly what I did at best buy, I went into Dev settings and enabled show refresh rate and the lowest i saw that it went was 24hz. I didn't see it drop below that but I also didn't test it out in every app. 24hz is still pretty low and should save plenty of battery since it switches very fast after interacting with the screen.

[@Alyssonft92]

@@Flash363 the S22 is not yet available in my country. Maybe next week I can test it.

[@PBKreviews]

Yup, 24 was the lowest S22 and ultra went. Not sure if they will release an update down the line for the ultra for it to drop to 1 but we will see.

[@carlangelocaingat9662]

With the galaxy max hz app. The refresh rate will go down as low as 10hz. The 1hz which they advertised on s22 ultra is not true

[@Chinmay2727]

s22 teardown so amazing and in detailed explaned everything i like it . great work man keep going on!!!

[@PBKreviews]

Thanks, will do!

[@NicoVanHallen]

I want to ask you a question, since Samsung ditched the 3D ToF sensor for the rear camera, the question is how important is the 3D ToF sensor for photographic results? And is it a good idea for Samsung to ditch that sensor?, Even though the iPhone has a lidar sensor, but I'm happy because there is still a microphone beside the rear camera.

[@jamrug3472]

Today the 3D ToF sensor has no sense at all, because basically it's just a very low quality camera (2 mpix or even less). We already have another much much better cameras on the back of the phone: the ultrawide and telephoto, that will help the main sensor even better than very cheap sensor dedicated only for this. Lidar is another story, it's just faster than using other cameras to calculate the distance, that's why it's still on the back of the iPhone. TLDR: there are better options and ToF sensor are typical for cheap phones just to bump up the numer of camera modules to appear to be more premium.

[@clonkex]

@@jamrug3472 A ToF sensor is not just a small camera. It's a laser emitter and sensor, so basically a very limited lidar.

[@Mizi08]

6:23 you mentioned that the s22 uses a different cooling element than the plus. This would mean the 22 will run cooler than the plus?

[@crazytoseek5086]

No bro

[@jacobsebastien3910]

Definitely not

[@chrispr83]

Just watched this video because I wanted to know if I messed up something for entering the sim pin in the wrong hole, you just got my thumbs up for specifying that I didn't mess up my phone 😅

[@PBKreviews]

:)

[@TheIc420]

Thanks for assuring us that the mic will be OK in case we by mistake poked it with the sim ejecter tool. Will it still be water proof?

[@jacobsebastien3910]

Yes definitely it will still be waterproof.

[@PBKreviews]

You're welcome! :)

[@basilmathew125]

Hi one question, does it have only 1 liquid damage indicator beneath SIM tray or is there another in the top of the device?

[@PBKreviews]

from the looks of it, that's the only one I can see.

[@thangnguyenvan7863]

Hi man, thank you for this awesome video. May I know what you think about Samsung S22+ heat solution? I'm planning to buy this one but really worry about heat from Snap 8 gen 1. Thank you.

[@PBKreviews]

Thank you and you're welcome. I can't say it has the best heat solution, but it did well during stress tests I initially ran on the benchmark video.

[@ashar8192]

Weird how Samsung only marketed the vapor chamber cooling system for the S22U when the S22+ uses it too. Do you know what cooling system the 3 S21 models last year used?

[@HemaGupta-xw5xj]

Sir which os u love android or iOS which is favorite brand in android and has great durability like pixel or Samsung not Chinese brand

[@benrodriques7522]

So I have the s22+ and with a lens protector on it makes the speakers crackle when the temp changes. So I took off the protector and it's fine now. Some say that the bottom lens let's air escape. My question is how.

[@jasoneddy9111]

Does anybody know where to find a replacement screen for the new Samsung models? Preferably the S22+. Is it too early? Does Samsung offer to sell parts?

I dropped my Galaxy s 22 on the street. It fell off my truck bumper. I found it damaged. It had a case protector like a booklet. But it was still damaged. Is there any way to retrieve the pictures? Can it be taken apart and transplanted into another s22. So I can get the pictures? Please, I need your help

[@aodknifer]

Is that why there's a weird oval divot on the side rail of the phone, for the 5g antenna? I kept pushing it thinking it would pop out some kind of tray 😂 - usually they're just lines on the side rails.

[@soroosheskandari]

Nice video! But, Why in-display fingerprint sensor is different from s22 ultra ? In s22 ultra, the sensor is much bigger. I think samsung uses first gen sensor in s22 plus, am I right ?

[@PBKreviews]

Thanks. Yeah not sure why they went with a smaller one on this device.

[@WaliXan]

Finally someone that shows the chip inside the phone

[@muhammadzainibinhafizan9188]

Hai, im just curious... if i accidentally poked up the microphone hole using sim ejector pin, what and where's the sim ejector pin actually hit up? Since the microphone and the gasket is actually located above the hole? Thanks in advance for your answers!

[@clonkex]

It would just hit the back wall of the L-shaped tunnel up to the mic.

[@Gnerdyy]

Thank you for this. Not sure how hard it's going to be for a newbie but I'm thinking of replacing charging port/simtray. My sim card won't work and I can't afford another phone since I'm still paying this one off. Any good links for a replacement?

[@PBKreviews]

You're welcome. Shouldn't be too difficult. Just follow the video and skip any steps you don't need to do (like removing the motherboard). Here is a link for the replacement parts, scroll down you will see the sub board/charger port boards. Just make sure to order the correct one for your model phone. Since different model number/region versions will have different antenna contacts. www.mobilesentrix.com/replacement-parts/samsung/galaxy-s-series/galaxy-s22-plus

[@Bafurin]

Hi. This is the best dissasembly video from s22 series. I accidently poke with sim ejektor the hole that is in the top of the phone s22 plus. Can u tell me if there is no option for me to poke waterproofing and mic damage with. I was so exited with new phone i poke the hole on top where there even isnt location of the sim card slot. Thank u for the answer??

[@Bafurin]

How about my question above, when it comes to puncuring sim ejector tool in ABOVE mic hole - on top of the phone ???

[@ValerioMaesani]

Hi, I have an S22 Plus, is it normal that at medium brightness (20/40%), with gray backgrounds, I can see the halo of the proximity sensor even when not in use? I have two circles right next to that proximity sensor. Let's say that you only notice if you are in low light conditions and only with dark colors such as grays.

[@CraZher]

The same thing happens in mine I went to the store to see the others and I think they are all like that depending on the color it shows or not :/

[@bitocafa1]

Hi guys. What's up? From what I understood in this video, there's a third mic, close to the flash LED. What's the purpose of that? Googled it, but haven't found an answer. Thanks and, btw, great job!

[@monicarubio414]

For how many minutes do I have to apply heat to the back cover of my phone?

[@PBKreviews]

Just use a hair dryer and evenly apply heat so its hot to the touch. You don't need to do it for too long, since you can always apply more heat while your working you're way prying the back off. You can also use a suction cup tool to help you lift up on one corner or side to get a pry tool in.

[@shredder3034]

Why you gave 2/2 points to screen replacement if you damaged it?

[@PBKreviews]

well people replacing a screen are not replacing a working screen, I gave the score based on the ease of doing a replacement screen repair. Since you can just pry the screen off from the front without having to take the rest of the phone apart, it saves time and is easier to do. Also a broken screen you don't care about damaging it more so you don't really need to be careful with it and can just pry the thing off even if it breaks or damages more etc. Hope this explains it.
