iFixit judged the Galaxy S20 + to be quite difficult to fix
As usual, iFixit has conducted operations on high-end devices that Samsung launched in early 2020, and of course on this list cannot be missing the Galaxy S20 +.
After all the components were removed, iFixit came to the conclusion that the Galaxy S20 + was quite difficult to fix. iFixit gives this device 3 points based on their 10 point frame (the bigger the score, the easier it is to fix).
The Galaxy S20 + is a device that is not easy to repair
Watch the video below and note that these are the professionals and disassemble their phones as their "livelihood". If you imitate it, the results may be worse than what you see in the video.
Samsung Galaxy S20 + Teardown
In case you are lazy watching videos, this is why iFixit for Galaxy S20 + scores so low:
First, the OLED screen is mounted directly to the frame without any additional support for it to be more durable. That is, it is easily broken when disassembled. Therefore, even if only the protective glass is broken and the OLED panel itself remains intact, repair may result in more severe damage.
Second, the battery is affixed to the rear panel with excess glue. It is also not easy to remove this battery intact.
However, Samsung uses standard phillips screws, so it can be easily removed, but this detail only helps iFixit to give Galaxy S20 + 3 points. This score is surprising when iFixit previously gave Galaxy Buds + 7/10 points for easy repair.
