    robdevil XI, 19 Apr 2017If iFixit go to sammy repair lab and use proper tools then ... morePoor repairability + more expensive screen repair = wider screen + smaller bezel. S8 redesign the phone to become more display area but with more difficult to repair.

            Samsung users are rich, they don't need to repair their phone if screen cracked or software out-of-date; they will just buy a new one.

              So, drop it, which is quite easy due to design, break screen, cash out some 400$ foe repair.
              Nice

                Then remove 4K video recording on all flagship phones now!
                Then you'll be mad because they removed it, right? XZ Premium and Z5 Premium are the only phones that can play true 4K contents natively

                Facebook video quality isn't good, and as soon as you upload it, quality degrades, so you need to start with a very high quality so that the quality will remain great even if degraded already. Makes sense?

                    Does all glass phone use adhesive glue? Well, I dont expect them to use nuts or screw on glass of course. It definitely dont give consumers confident of buying it either.

                      If iFixit go to sammy repair lab and use proper tools then they will give it 8!

                          Keep praising samsung , repair shop next to my working place all full with samsung with display problem . Most famous is flickering . Soon if you phone out of waranty you are read meat . Edge screen , if you drop it unluckily it hit the soft spot , it will break , even if you put screen protector or tempered glass it will still break . Repair display on samsung or crapple is always the most expensive

                                I have seen how durable front glass is against hummer and knife test done by TechRax YouTube. It is really hard to break the front glass of this phone. Maybe its back.

                                  It is unfortunate Nokia is not releasing any 6 inch display phone. If they do i will ditch Samsung. The current restrictions for carry on luggage requires one to own a 6 incher.

                                      It's best u stop talking all this crap, Nokia 6 has non removable battery, u expect them to make a phone with premium build qualities(that's what people wanted), make it water and ust proof and still have a removable battery??, reason why samsung didnt increase the capacity is because the note 7 last year so they play it safe, just stop uttering the crap u just did man

                                        S8 poor repairability score: "Nobody's going to tear their phones up in real life. Not that important at all."

                                        XZs/XZ Premium poor repairability score: "Pathetic, Sony!"
