Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7 undergoes rigorous analysis, revealing its conundrums during disassembly
In the latest teardown of the Galaxy Z Flip 7, tech enthusiast Zach Nelson on the JerryRigEverything YouTube channel delves into the device's intricate design and repairability. The teardown, also reported by SamMobile, offers insights into the phone's new changes, including its hinge and thermal specifications.
One of the key findings from the teardown is the continued use of battery pull tabs and screws for the removal of larger internal components. This method, while common in many devices, can present challenges during repairs, as seen in the Fold 7's teardown earlier in August.
Zach Nelson also observed the ultra-thin glass layer for the Flip 7's display, which, while flexible, is prone to damage when bent improperly. He expressed hope that Samsung could make the ultra-thin glass layer thicker in the future to improve its longevity.
The inner foldable display of the Flip 7, like its counterpart in the Fold 7, is difficult to remove due to the presence of ribbon cables. This was a challenge noted in the iFixit video on the Fold 7's teardown, which highlighted the difficulties in repairing the device.
The cover display of the Flip 7 is equally challenging to remove, a fact that iFixit addressed in their teardown analysis of the device. The use of battery pull tabs can potentially break or require excessive force, as observed in the Fold 7's teardown.
However, the Galaxy Z Flip 7's optical image stabilization (OIS) held up well during the teardown, offering little jitter when shaken with the camera app open.
The teardown of the Flip 7 reveals that it shares similar repairability issues with the Fold 7, due to Samsung's development practices. This reaffirms the need for careful handling and professional repair services when dealing with these high-end devices.
In conclusion, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 boasts a full, edge-to-edge cover display and slimmer bezels, its repairability remains a concern. As always, it's essential to handle these devices with care and seek professional help when needed.
