How to open the back cover of samsung galaxy s7. Galaxy in danger: the world's first parsing of Samsung Galaxy S7. What under the lid.

Today we will talk about how disassembly Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 EDGE. As practice has shown, it is quite real even at home.

In principle, the first experiments on the disassembly of Galaxy S7 were carried out almost immediately after the official presentation of the smartphone, in particular in Russia they made engineers of Moscow service Center "Tech-Town" is already February 22. In general, the "transparency" of the new flagship Samsung. Specialists around the world have already managed to do, and the manufacturer willingly grant instances of the device, usually with the condition for subsequent publication of the process.

We have already said above that the samsung galaxy S7 disassembly is possible at home. However, we do not recommend doing it, if you have acting guaranteeSince as a result you will lose it. We are also not responsible for your manipulations on the disassembly of Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 EDGE.

According to experts, Samsung Galaxy S7 disassembly is much easier than last year's flagship of the Korean company Galaxy S6, which many swore for the design of low maintainability.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 Disassembly: Procedure

1. The disassembly of Galaxy S7 begins with the back cover. Thus, the risk of damaging the screen is practically absent. Important moment: Like Galaxy S6, the lid is fixed by a special adhesive tape, which is hardly able to save. In principle, you can do without it, but in this case you lose protection against water and dust IP68 (another reason to repair a novelty in an authorized service center). Also, experts recommend pre-gently heat rear cover Samsung Galaxy S7 (do it is not dangerous, it is covered with a solid protective glass).
2. The top layer of the boards is removed. So you get access to the battery, which this time can be replaced without resorting to full disassembly Smartphone. If the purpose of the disassembly was to replace the battery - change it, on this process of disassembling Galaxy S7 will be completed.
3. Remove the remaining boards and get access to the screen. It will not be so difficult to do it, as in the case of Galaxy S6, since all contact groups are made removable.
4. And now you can separate the screen from the frame.

Video Disassembly Galaxy S7 EDGE

It is possible to look at the seventh flagship of the Galaxy S ruler on the next video. It should be noted that the American version of the Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE on the basis of the processor is exposed here. Execution Qualcomm Snapdragon. 820, however, the design is absolutely identical to the version sold in Europe and Russia in particular.

If you do not like to look at the chips, then here is a short squeeze, which is described in detail below:

1. Galaxy S7 disassembled from the back side, which means there is no risk of damaging the screen. For such work, most of the service centers will be taken, the repair speed will be higher.

2. The back cover is very tightly glued to the metal frame. There are no rubber pads under it, and from moisture the device protects the factory double-sided adhesive tape. If you leave a smartphone under the summer sun for a long time, then due to strong overheating, the glod will gradually lose its properties.

3. Pusher button sAMSUNG inclusion Galaxy S7 on the kind of more than most other solutions. What is great, because these buttons break often.

4. For the first time, Samsung installed inside the smartphone a copper heat pipe for cooling. The new EXYNOS 8890 chip is not only mighty, but also hot!

5. If the battery or other removable components fail, and you decide to change them in an unauthorized service center, then everything will pass pretty quickly. But the Galaxy S7 will be protected from the water after that, most likely will stop.

And now to microcircuits!

How does it open?

The device opens from the back side: you need to heat it and then carefully separate the rear cap planted on the special glue. No rubber pads are not here, water through rear panel Does not miss the double-sided adhesive tape. At the factory, it is cut in advance in the form of the device.

If you leave the Galaxy S7 for a long time under the bright summer sun, the glue inside will gradually lose your protective properties. At some point, he can start to skip moisture inside the body.

There are no ugly plugs on the housing, but pay attention to the tray for SIM and MicroSD cards. He rubs up not to miss moisture. Before immersing the tray along with the cards in the slot, be sure to check the larger dust to it. Otherwise, moisture can get inside the housing.

S7 disassembled from the back cover, and not from the screen side. It is good because there is no risk to damage the expensive screen, which can cost more than 20,000 rubles.

What is under the lid?

It is unusual that the flash and sensors near her are not additionally protected, they can be seen through the glass on the rear panel. It cannot be said that it is bad, simply before Samsung still closed them. At the same time, by the way, we suggest a look at these sensors under a microscope. The black element with the inscription SWB-RC203 inside the case is a "sandwich" of the associated MPC modules and antennas for wireless charging Smartphone.

Second layer of insides

Remove the top layer of boards and modules and make your way deeper. Here Surprise: Copper heat pipe for cooling. We have already seen such on the instructions smartphones Sonysimilar to the cooling method is applied in fresh Lumia 950, but Samsung uses such a solution for the first time.

Another interesting detail. See this little white square with cross? If water gets inside the housing, then he will immediately change the color to red. It is this that will show specialists of the official services of Samsung that the device "Utopili".

By the way, do you remember that there are no plugs on the case at all, and all the connectors are open? The speaker from moisture is protected by a special grid and a small rubber gasket.

At the same time, let's look at the battery: it really is 3000 mAh, although we, in general, have not doubted. 4.4V and 3,85V values \u200b\u200bhave not changed compared to power elements previous Galaxy S, but the temperature mark "Do not heat is stronger than 45 degrees" is interesting. In the case of the battery or other individual replaceable modules, it is possible to change them quite quickly. After removing the back cover, of course, that immediately deprivates the device advantages in the form of water protection.

Look at the details

Let's look at the speaker closer: here is a whole journey, not very justified in terms of design. To compare the left speaker from the iPhone, and on the right - from S7. It is impossible to say that it is bad, just a different approach. The selection of the headset is separate and docked to the charging loop. In past models, it is combined with the dynamics module, so the solution is unusual.

Under the microscope, we also studied the power button. On the photo from above - button Galaxy S7, bottom - iPhone button 5. In the case of new Galaxy The pusher is not just glued to the base, as it happens most often, and implemented in the iPhone, and additionally fixed on top.

The output of the inclusion button due to the destruction of the pusher is a frequent illness of modern smartphones. Samsung tried to make the design more reliable, it's commendable.

In Galaxy S7, the contact groups are made removable. Obvious to simplify the work of employees of their own service centers. In general, the device began to understand easier, you can note a noticeable step forward compared to S6.

Look again to the microscope. Unlike Apple, which is used to branding inside literally everything, Samsung has almost no markings on components. But something we still found. Here, for example, the Samsung Shannon 935 LTE modem and the Avago AFEM-9030 power amplifier. In general, Samsung continues to strive to use as many own components as possible.

Old base

On this frame next to two boards: to the left of the last year's Samsung Galaxy S5 Active, on the right - from the new Galaxy S7. They are very similar.

The first T-Mobile subscribers who made pre-order for new flagship smartphones Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 EDGE, have already begun to receive their devices, at least official sales start only in a week. Specialists from ChipWorks managed to get out of their colleagues from ifixit and do what they get better to disassemble the device.

Running upwards, we note that nothing supernatural disassembly showed. However, some features can still be allocated.

According to ChipWorks, the praised main camera Galaxy S7 EDGE uses a 12-megapixel Sony production sensor (presumably, model IMX260). The new photo module has a thickness of 5.4 mm, equipped with a phase autofocus system Dual Pixel and is characterized by a free-sensitive cell of 1.4 μm. All this was discussed at the recent presentation of Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, so there are no new revelations on the part of the camera. The SAMSUNG gyroscope has chosen the SAMSUNG gyroscope to stabilize the SAMSUNG image (K2G2IS model number).

Oddly enough, but the most interesting components of Galaxy S7 EDGE are not hidden in the housing counted compartments, and are located in the most prominent place. Snapdragon 820 single-grip system on which a smartphone is based, hidden under the microchip random access memory HYNIX volume of 4 GB. As a controller touchscreen The SAMSUNG S6SMC41X microcircuit is used.

The microphone installed in the Galaxy S7 EDGE was produced by Knowles, the Wi-Fi module delivered Murata, the NFC controller produced NXP, barometer - STMicroelectronics, and a chip for wireless charging - IDT.
