If i have to go through this much trouble and expense to get this phone repaired then i really don't see the sense in having it in the first place.

But I Don't have enought knowledge about chip building, just enought to know that it's rarely that easy.
So the question is to know if it's better to have a hight end chip of this gen, or if a mid end chip will have the same perf than last year top chips but with far less energy drain.

In fact, I was expecting a big energy saving gain with a smaller chip, since the praises I've seen on the comments here. But it is true I didn't know we already had 10nm chips and believed, until I checked, SD845 was 14nm like last gen computer chip. So of course the gain between SD845 and 855 is not that big, in fact, not enought to discredit a phone and comments were just geek-thing following the good ol' marketing "have the lattest thing, even if you don't need it, it's better since numbers are highter!". Proof is we still need a big dissipator to keep it cool enought to not have the chip throttling.

THERE IS NO PIPE !
just a section with bends.

I was considering to buy a Samsung after years, but this video changed my mind. Easy Repairing was One of my expectations.

Hildr, 06 Mar 2019Shouldn't the 7/8nm engraving be more energy efficient than... moreHas it taken you that long to work out out.. it’s all marketing , it’s more energy effienient , doesn’t state if this is just doing normal tasks or multi tasking it’s a bit like when intel releases processors and say it’s 15% faster than the previous genration ... when they are comparing the worst I7 processor for the 7th gen vs the best 8th gen I7 in a computer. Also efficient can be based on how much heat is lost the hotter an item the less efficient so by keeping it cooler over long periods of use it’s technical more efficient as sad as that is,
as the chip is keeper cooler it won’t get as hot as such leds wasted energy to heat.. hope this makes sense..

Shouldn't the 7/8nm engraving be more energy efficient than 10? Why this massive heatpipe then? And then, why the hype about this SD855, only better raw perf?

It looks like the USB C port is part of the motherboard (look at the pins and green substrate that matches the board at 3:32) Even if the metal shroud gets dislodged, it may still work and looks more durable.

Nice giant copper but battery still sticking inside the battery room, Samsung never find a better solution here.

Sticking the USB port there is not cool. Now then, add also the battery, which easily costs 50$ to buy alone. Though we have here a law that protects customers against planned obsolescence. Yay to that, no OEM can get around this! You guys need such a law.

you cant replace the usb-c port and the fingerprint module anymore, and the display if you want to replace it, it s pretty difficult, nearly impossible to replace !! Planned obsolescence at its finest #ShameOnYouShamesung
