Samsung Galaxy S10 teardown reveals the ultrasonic FP reader, a beefy heat pipe
We saw the Galaxy S10+ get torn apart, now it’s time for the Samsung Galaxy S10 to experience the same. This time, however, the teardown is performed by none other than Zack from JerryRigEverything.
Interesting finds from inside the phone include a massive heat pipe – significantly chunkier than the one the Galaxy S9 had. Also, the new Wireless PowerShare feature works with just a regular coil, no special hardware seems to have been added.
Removing the fingerprint reader leaves a transparent rectangle. The proximity and the ambient light sensors also live behind the display, the selfie camera gets a punch hole to peek through.
If you're wondering why the screen is all scratched up, Zack performed his usual scratch and burn tests a few days ago. The ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader was looking pretty solid, however cracks did render it unusable.

It was half a rhetorical question, since there was a big fuss about how it was a shame Nokia 9 comes with S845 making it a "shit" phone when in fact SD855 doesn't add anything if a mere 10% perf on devices where a really few situations need raw power...
