When you get you first look at the inside of a Samsung Galaxy S6 you might begin to understand why Samsung had to do away with a replaceable battery. Stuff is packed in their tight, so much so that even removing the battery looks like a giant pain.
MyFixGuide did the honors of providing the first teardown of the phone. As we suspected, the glass isn’t coming off the back plate easily without some hot air gun action, and just as we heard in Samsung’s manual there are a good deal of screws to deal with after the fact. Once inside you’ll be rewarded with a view of some impressive engineering work and a collection of quality components.
These teardown guides serve to show the process of getting into a phone’s inner bits for purposes of repair, but they’re not to be meant as guides for your average consumer. That is to say, you shouldn’t be trying to replicate the process at home — best to stick to a Samsung repair technician or anyone with a fair amount of experience and knowledge on assembling and taking apart smartphones. Head to the jump if you want to take a look at the full gamut.

where do they fit the Apple symbol?
Looks like this one was rushed alittle.
iFixIt’s teardown will be a lot better when it drops.
Samsung happens to make logic boards as well
Any device that requires a heat gun to disassemble was designed poorly and by either idiots or anti-consumer demons.
To those of us that are ignorant of such things, could you elaborate?
There is an adhesive that needs to be heated to – for example – allow the screen to pull away from the digitizer under it. It is an utter PITA and if you do not put back proper and get a good seal with heat dust can and does get up under the screen between screen and digitizer. Just 1 example.
Dude, NSFW warnings!
