[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.
+ [* green] All the important fasteners are identical Phillips screws in size and length, simplifying 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.
