    Unb1453d, 20 Jan 2021Wow the ultimate difficulty to repair is the Apple way. Sam... moreThe repairability of the s21 is about the same as let's say the s7 edge and any S and note series phone from Samsung after that. And it's not hard to repair if you actually know what you're doing. Which you should because a phone that might blow up in your pocket due to your own incompetence does not only affect you but also your surroundings

        YUKI93, 20 Jan 2021"...the battery does not come with pull tabs." ... moreIt's actually not. I work for samsung and it's been that way since the galaxy s6. Just a bit of alcohol and the batter comes off almost by itself.

          i don't know if anyone saw the entire video but... when he shows the cameras, the ultrawide one have OIS.
          in fact he touch it and said, this three lenses have OIS. he can't see the OIS on the peryscope telephoto because of the form.
          but is curious..

                                People just dont know how the genuine screen is coming,with frame and battery.Battery replacement procedure is very easy-few drops of alcohol and its done,no heating no bs.
                                So called reviewer neither is competent neither knows how original parts come.

Then you extinguish it by waiting, because it'll just burn till all is gone. Then you put in new one and voila. Easy peasy.

                                      If it ain't JerryRigEverything it ain't worth it.
