+ | [title] Final thoughts |
---|---|
+ | [* black] Samsung's Galaxy S21 Ultra earns a ***X out of 10*** on our repairability scale (10 is easiest to repair): |
+ | [* green] All the fasteners are identical Phillips screws in size and length, and only require one driver, which simplifies the repair process. |
+ | [* yellow] Many components are modular and independently replaceable, but the missing modular display cable and polycarbonate rear panel from the regular S21 are a step backward. |
+ | [* red] The rear panel is glued down and difficult to remove, even more so thanks to the new notch around the camera bump's edge. |
+ | [* red] The battery and display continue to be difficult repairs, as both components are held down with some serious adhesive, and require a fair bit of disassembly to get to. |
