  • Unfortunately, the Galaxy S 4G cannot be disassembled further without prying the front panel off the inner metal frame.

  • Heat gun time!

  • Separating the front panel assembly from the rear panel assembly requires loosening the adhesive around the perimeter.

  • Add a little heat and some opposing forces, and BAM! Front panel and rear panel successfully separated.

  • On the back of the display assembly we find the Atmel mXT 224 touchscreen controller, which provides capacitive multi-touch capabilities, and is also found in yesterday's Motorola Atrix teardown.
