| [* black] Who runs the phone? Battery! | |
| - | [* black] Removing the battery on the S6 should be a little bit easier than the [guide|39158|Edge|stepid=88413]. The battery connector is sits on the top of the motherboard, meaning it can be removed before the motherboard. Huzzah! |
| - | [* black] Apparently, the S6 engineering team wasn't completely committed to the cause of battery removal. We find the same high strength adhesive here that we found on the Edge's battery. |
| + | [* black] Removing the battery from the S6 should be a little bit easier than from the [guide|39158|Edge|stepid=88413]. In the Edge, the battery cable was routed under the motherboard before connecting on top, necessitating removing the motherboard to get to the battery. |
| + | [* black] Looks like with the bit of extra room inside the regular S6, Samsung was able to run the cable on top of the board, to save a step for battery removal. |
| + | [* black] Also thanks to the flat-screen design of the S6, it's easier to push an opening pick straight into the gap between the battery and display assembly, making it easier to cut the (just-as-strong) adhesive holding the battery. |
| + | [* black] This still hardly qualifies as a user-replaceable battery, but it is a bit easier than in the S6 Edge. |
