The video provides a comprehensive tutorial on disassembling and reassembling the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus. The presenter starts by removing the SIM tray and heating the back plate to loosen adhesive for disassembly. Key internal components revealed include the wireless charging coil, NFC antenna, 4500 mAh battery, various cameras (12MP ultra-wide, 50MP wide-angle, and 10MP telephoto), and the in-display fingerprint sensor. The presenter meticulously detaches several flex cables, the mainboard, and the top speaker assembly, highlighting details such as the graphite film, thermal paste, and vibration motor. The disassembly also exposes the copper vapor chamber and 5G antennas. Important repair tips, such as using isopropyl alcohol to loosen battery adhesive and aligning connectors correctly during reassembly, are provided. The process concludes with a repairability score of 7.5 out of 10, and the presenter notes some screen damage during the reassembly but signs off optimistically for future content.

In this part of the video, the presenter demonstrates the disassembly of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus. The process starts with removing the SIM tray and applying heat to the back plate to loosen the adhesive, allowing it to be pried off with a plastic tool. The back plate and camera lens covers can be replaced if needed by further prying.
The internal components and design details are then revealed, including the need to remove 19 Phillips screws and disconnect several flex cables for the wireless charging coil and NFC antenna. The graphite film over the bottom speaker is also peeled off to access these components. The battery cable is disconnected, followed by the rest of the cables, and the top plastic cover is removed, highlighting some antenna lines.
The main board is lifted, revealing three cameras: a 12-megapixel ultra-wide, a 50-megapixel wide-angle with OIS, a 10-megapixel telephoto with OIS, as well as other components such as the secondary microphone, LED flash, light sensor, and the proximity sensor. The dual-layer board also shows the graphite film for heat transfer and the microphone for the back.

In this part of the video, the creator discusses the process of disassembling a device, specifically focusing on removing and inspecting various components. After peeling back the graphite film, they clean off the thermal paste from the RAM and processor, and then remove the top speaker assembly, which contains little white foam balls beneath the blue tape. The bottom speaker assembly, also containing foam balls and a thermal pad, is then removed. A key discovery is made regarding the linear vibrator motor; it is identified as part of the speaker assembly. To replace the screen, one can disconnect the flex cable by either heating the front to pry it off or removing the back plate and speaker assembly. The creator proceeds to disconnect flex cables and remove the sub board, highlighting the primary microphone’s location and the red rubber gasket around the charger port. Finally, without provided pull tabs, they use isopropyl alcohol to loosen the battery’s adhesive for removal.

In this part of the video, the presenter provides a detailed breakdown of the smartphone’s internal components. They show the 4500 milliamp hour battery and the copper vapor chamber beneath it, highlighting the differences from the S22 model. They also uncover the in-display fingerprint sensor and point out various features such as the liquid damage indicator, rubber gasket, mesh filters, and 5G antennas. The presenter explains how to replace the flex cable power button or volume keys by removing a bracket from the frame. Additionally, they describe the process of removing the screen by applying heat and using a suction cup tool, and they show the location of sensors and the importance of aligning connectors when reassembling. The video concludes with a repairability score of 7.5 out of 10, and the final steps of reassembling the phone and applying new adhesive to replace the backplate.
