Introduction
Bien que certains fabricants de téléphone et développeurs de système d'exploitation semblent ignorer les règles de calcul et sautent du huit au dix, Samsung ne se laisse pas influencer et livre le Samsung Galaxy S9+ (sans encoche, s'il vous plait). Seule la vue éclatée pourra nous dire si ce téléphone est un concurrent à prendre sérieux ou juste une machine cinglée à AR Emoji.
Nous avons également démonté le modèle standard plus petit, le Galaxy S9, jetez-y un œil !
iFixit a bien plus à offrir que les vues éclatées ! Venez nous voir sur Facebook, Twitter et Instagram pour rester au courant des dernières nouvelles de la tech !
Ce dont vous avez besoin
-
-
Les spécifications chocs et le chiffre de l'ouverture pour ouvrir le jeu en fanfare. Voilà ce que nous savons :
-
Écran AMOLED de 6,2" sans encoche, d'une résolution de 2960 × 1440 (~530 ppp)
-
Processeur Snapdragon 845 de Qualcomm ou Exynos 9810 propre à Samsung, en fonction du lieu de distribution
-
Caméra principale de 12 mégapixels avec stabilisation optique d'image et double ouverture (modes f/1.5 et f/2.4) plus une caméra secondaire de 12 mégapixels avec stabilisation optique d'image et une caméra selfie de 8 mégapixels
-
Prise jack et fente microSD
-
Indice de protection contre l'eau et la poussière IP68
-
Android 8.0 Oreo
-
-
-
En haut se trouvent une fente SIM standard et la rangée légèrement revisitée des capteurs du lecteur d'empreintes digitales et de la caméra. Adieu lentilles sales !
-
Vu d'en bas, il ressemble beaucoup au S8 – génial, donc la prise jack de 3,5 mm est vivante !
-
Au premier abord, la grille du haut-parleur semble avoir été remplacée par un port, mais non, il s'agit toujours d'une grille et le grillage se trouve tooooout au fond. Quels sont les avantages d'un haut-parleur qu'on peut bourrer de peluches ?
“SIM-eject-impersonating microphone hole topside” … what happens if an owner mistakenly uses the Sim eject push pin tool in this hole? I did, and felt something give, but havent noticed any problems yet.
I too accidentally made this mistake out of excitement. No noticeable problems at the moment, but I have no idea how to test a secondary microphone.
It’s likely that you just bumped a rubber seal in that aperture, you probably won’t notice microphone performance changes (it’s mostly in charge of hearing ambient noise). There’s a chance you might have reduced waterproofing. It depends on how tough a poke you gave it, but you’re probably fairly safe =)
Is anyone else bothered that the speaker, charging port, and headphone jack aren’t lined up straight?
I too made the same mistake of poking a pin into the mic hole. I pushed with enough force tat you would think it needed to eject a sin tray. I didn’t notice any give or sounds when I poked it. No noticeable damage or sound issues, just paranoid that a year down the road it’s going to have issues. (Anxiety) I can’t tell enough from the pics to see what lines up with the hole .
I feel like such a dummy
I alo poked the sim eject tool into the hole. I assumed it was either the sim tray or a similar setup for the micro SD card. I’ve had the phone for less than a day and I’m already worried that I’ve damaged it. Unlike other people who feel stupid for doing this, I’m annoyed at Samsung. If you design a car with something that looks like a steering wheel but is actually a wheel release handle, you are inevitably going to get lots of wheels falling of cars. Holes like this have been used for decades to reset electronic equipment, replace SIMs and eject CD drives etc - they have become a standard visual cue that all the highly paid designers at Samsung surely understand. At the very least, the design flaw should have been spotted after shipping and the phones should ship with a yellow hard to remove warning sticker telling people not to poke that hole. I’m almost hoping that the phone doesn’t work properly and that I can return it soon under warranty, rather than worry about it for the next few years.

Ô miracle, Samsung a bravé la vague des copieurs des iPhones, laissé tomber l'encoche et créé quelques superbes minuscules joints.
-
Admirez le S9+ sur la gauche et l'iPhone X à encoche et "joints réduits" sur la gauche.
-
De dos, l'iPhone X est certes surmonté de l'impressionnante bosse de la caméra, mais l'agencement des capteurs du S9+ est bien plus étalé et moins esthétique.
-
Les coques en verre sont en train de devenir le standard de l'industrie grâce à la recharge sans fil. Fonctionnalité sympa, mais mauvaise nouvelle pour les maladroits.
-
Évidemment la coque en verre de l'iPhone 4S se remplaçait en deux minutes. Nous supposons que ce ne sera pas le cas ici…
More “sprawling and awkward looking"… Really? You ooze fanboy so hard it's sad; best you'd literally do deplorable things for a chance at an exclusive, prototype iPhone --sheep.
So you are saying that the galaxy s9 plus looks perfect on the back and not at all needing a little diesign tweak? I personally also think that it doen’t look that great
Jeez what an embarrassing comment
The iPhone has the Notch, but you see, there’s BONUS screen on the left and right side of it. Which is wasted space on the Samesung phone, Plus there’s another Black Bar on the bottom of the phone which the iPhone doesn’t have at all. No notch, no nothing. Glass on back was something Apple did long ago on the iPhone 4 and 4S!!! To have FAKE wireless charging, you need to use a non-conductive back. Glass works great for this. Or you go and use Plastic, which I don’t think Apple would use on a high end phone and Samesung has also moved away from on their high end phones. Maybe Ceramic is a option, but more costly. TheiPhone 6 that I have is very slippery and it’s not a glass back. I installed a bulky case to keep it from slipping from my hand.
What exactly is “fake wireless charging?” Go look at how induction charging works and how you don’t need to plug in your phone.
Calvin H -
I think he just means inductive charging in general. The term “wireless charging” as applied to current tech is kind of a misnomer since it’s only wireless in a trivial sense—imagine if someone sold you a “wireless router” but you had to physically place your computer on top of it to get a signal. If true long-range wireless charging ever becomes widely available, today’s “wireless charging” may seem like a lot of silly marketing hype in hindsight.
(In Mr Burns voice) Samesung ey?
Seriously though, why are you even here??? LOL

Avant de rentrer dans le vif du sujet, nous demandons à nos amis du Creative Electron quelques missions de reconnaissance de force.
-
En plus de la nouvelle caméra double et ce mélange de petits composants, les choses ressemblent pas mal à ce qu'on a déjà vu la dernière fois.
-
-
-
Le S9 est loin du S4, mais un réel soulagement par rapport à nos plus récents démontages destructifs.
-
La combinaison standard chaleur et médiator porte ses fruits, mais ce n'est vraiment pas du gâteau !
-
Nos expériences précédentes – n'est-ce pas Samsung ? – nous permettent d'expédier la nappe de l'ensemble capteurs sans subir de pertes. Une bonne documentation simplifie grandement la tâche !
-
-
-
Une fois l'ouverture périlleuse menée à bien, nous n'avons plus qu'à frayer notre chemin dans la coque arrière du smartphone.
-
Nous nous allons d'abord droit vers la caméra arrière pour admirer son système raffiné à double ouverture en pleine action.
-
Un objectif de caméra standard est muni d'au moins 5 lames amovibles qui forment l'ouverture quasi circulaire ajustable à plusieurs et nombreux niveaux. L'ouverture du Galaxy est réglée par deux lames rotatives en forme d'anneau qui s'ajustent en continu.
I wonder how well the 2 rotating ring blades will hold up over time? It is a moving part on a device that gets a lot of abuse. Far more in general than a Camera From what I’ve heard, it’s more hype than anything on this phone. As in it doesn’t do a whole lot. Will that become a new thing on other phones, or will it go away as a failed experiment? Who knows at this time.
-
-
-
-
Le lecteur d'empreintes digitales déplacé est la prochaine victime de notre spatule. Un anneau visqueux le colle et empêche l'intrusion de liquides.
-
Nous sommes un peu déçus du manque de fantaisie de Samsung dans l'acheminement de la nappe du lecteur d'empreintes digitales. Les ingénieurs l'ont juste piégé dans de la vilaine colle et nous avons arraché le tout d'un bloc en retirant la coque arrière, ce qui a failli nous coûter le lecteur. On fera mieux l'année prochaine Samsung ?
-
Quinze vis plus tard, nous retirons les deux pièces familières du châssis interne, avec à bord la bobine de recharge sans fil intégrée, l'ensemble antenne et le haut-parleur inférieur.

-
Outil utilisé dans cette étape :iFixit Adhesive Remover$19.99
-
Que faut-il pour retirer une batterie engluée d'un smartphone Galaxy ?
-
1ère option : des tonnes de chaleur, un outil-levier, un extincteur, un seau de sable et des nerfs
d'acieren vibranium. -
2nde option : une seringue remplie d'un peu de dissolvant iFixit pour adhésif.
-
Nous choisissons la dernière et étalons un peu de liquide bleu dans le petit tube qui entoure la batterie. Quelques minutes plus tard, nous remportons le trophée.
-
Ouaip, ce sont exactement les mêmes spécifications que celles des batteries trouvées dans le S8+ l'année dernière … et dans le tristement célèbre Note7.
-
Cela dit, Samsung adore vraiment orner ses batteries de ce solide autocollant noir et nous n'en savons toujours pas la raison. Si vous avez une petite idée, faites-nous signe !
The black sponge tape over the battery is to allow for the miniscule amount of battery expansion that is 100% normal to every aging li-po battery and to not cause damage to the backglass when it eventually needs that space. Case closed.
Is that stuff even needed? The battery is glued down so well it’s going no where. So a little gap to allow for expansion shouldn’t hurt things that you need that mat. Who knows, and does it matter?
It's precision engineering, so yes it matters. If you drop your phone the small gap doesn't transfer energy as pushing the battery against the plastic frame does; as lipo(s) expand the high density foam gives way for that expanded space. It's likely on a nano-meter scale, but precision engineered as I said. Such engineering allows for cohesive standards and ability to reverse engineer in the wake of something as large as the Note 7 issue…
Is the black webbing conductive?
Can you get the adhesive remover in Australia? I would like to give it a shot
Just Use Alcohol or even Orange (not the orange you eat) find it at supermarkets if you can wait a few minutes. I’m inpatient De-Solv-it
Highly effective solvent-based cleaner
Natural citrus base
Safe to use - Not Class 3 Flammable
No overwhelming vapours
Australian made
Used to be sold at Coles now I only find it at Bunnings
Samsung engineer: “We do not know how, but the black sticker prevents battery explosion. So we just left it here. Magic.”
avec juste un sesamo et un peu de chaleur je vous retire la batterie en 2 min sans la tordre ni la boursouffler et l’ecran reste intacte idem pour le cache batterie .
It’s for thermal expansion. Batteries breath - inhale during charge up need room. Much like the lungs in our chest cavity.
Keeps pressure off the center of the backglass or else it would break 1,000,000,000,000 % faster

Il ne nous reste plus que deux vis à tourner et quelques connecteurs de CI à débrancher avant de pouvoir sortir la carte mère.
-
Personne ne pouvait s'attendre à trouver cette nappe d'écran enfilée à travers une fente dans le châssis puis accrochée à la carte mère. comme si essayer de tirer dessus pour la perdre …
-
… Personne sauf vous, si vous avez déjà lu chacune de nos vues éclatées de Galaxy au cours des dernières années.
-
Samsung, nous connaissons vos raisons, mais nous sommes sûrs et certains que vous êtes capables de mieux faire. Nous sommes en 2018 – montrez-nous un écran qui se déconnecte et se remplace sans qu'on doive d'abord extraire une coque arrière pleine de colle. C'est un défi !
-
Opération carte mère réussie : déverrouillée.
With a ip68 rating? You're dreaming, and your use of hyperbole is
And it's not glue,
“Glue: an adhesive substance used for sticking objects or materials together.” Pressure sensitive adhesives, like double-sided tape, are also glues, they just have a carrier =)
thoughts on the above comments?
@pccheese excellent comment followed by an even greater reference :-)

-
Malgré le double capteur photo, cette caméra double est d'un bloc, sur un seul CI et reliée à un unique connecteur !
-
Le S9+ compte au total quatre caméras : se rajoutent à la caméra principale (depuis peu) double la caméra selfie et la caméra de l'iris.
-
La caméra se nomme Star cette fois et succède aux caméras "Dream" de l'année dernière.
-
Nos amis de chez TechInsight ont démonté les modules de la caméra et mis à jour les puces qui s'y tapissent. Samsung affirme que la DRAM intégrée permet à la caméra de venir à bout de quatre fois autant de données visuelles. 960 i/s au ralenti, qui dit mieux ?
‘star’ is a device codename of S9 (starlte) and S9+ (star2lte), while ‘dream’ is the codename of S8 (dreamlte) and S8+ (dream2lte).
People leave out that the 960fps is at only 720P and it’s only for a few seconds which seems silly!!! Also way to SSLLLOOOWWW. As someone who does use Slow-Mo on my iPhone once in a while to record Industrial machines in a factory so that I can see what’s happening at a slower speed because it’s normally to fast for my eye’s to catch what’s going on, that is slow enough for my needs and I can record for a long period so that I can catch it making the mistake. Apple’s 240fps, is a really nice speed, where it’s slowed down enough to see what’s happen, and actually moving. To SSLLLOOWWW and you couldn’t see what was really happening. Besides the S9 can do the same as the iPhone now at 1080P 240fps which is really more useful anyway. What I’m seeing from a number of sites, Camera Sites for example, it’s recording for only .2 seconds and playback is 30fps for 6 seconds. Who the !&&* would use that? That is a GIMMICK. So stick with 240fps at 1080P. you have much, much longer/better recordings
The Slow-mo guys on youtube often record action at a fraction of a second. Enough to play it back to analyze the result. Just because 960fps is too slow for you doesn’t mean it is a gimmick. That’s very arrogant. I don’t find the iPhone 8’s wireless charging necessary but I wouldn’t call it a gimmick. I’m sure you’ll find ways to praise Apple’s version on the next iPhone. You seem to feel the need to venture onto non-Apple pages and articles to tell us how much the Samsung sucks and why it’s the same, yet make a positive spin for every Apple decision. The iPhone has largely stayed the same from the iPhone 6 up-to the 8, however because it’s Apple, it’s familiar and recognisable. Samsung re-uses the same design for the second iteration, they’re now Samesung… I don’t get it. I don’t even use a Samsung as my daily either haha.

L'imposante prise jack fait un retour remarqué. Son joint protège le smartphone et sa modularité promet une réparation à bas prix, s'il devait être nécessaire de la remplacer.
-
Nous saisissons l'ensemble carte fille multitalent qui inclut les câbles coaxiaux d'interconnexion, le microphone, le connecteur USB-C et des tonnes de contacts à ressort.
-
Au tour du deuxième haut-parleur (interne) de sortir. Celui-ci sert depuis peu également de haut-parleur pour créer non seulement un effet stéréo mais un son "surround" (dans la mesure où un téléphone en est capable).
Easier as in you don't have to know how to do PCB soldering
@yuramateurs Correct; not everyone who buys this phone will have the capability to microsolder these components. So it makes replacement much easier for your average individual!

Occupons-nous de la carte mère et voyons un peu ce qu'elle comprend ! La face A a reçu en partage les plus beaux bijoux de technologie :
-
DRAM LPDDR4X de 6 Go K3UH6H6-NGCJ Samsung, posée sur un Snapdragon 845 Qualcomm
-
Universal Flash Storage (flash Nand + contrôleur) THGAF4G9N4LBAIR Toshiba

CI de gestion d'alimentation MAX77705F MAX77705F
-
Suivi d'enveloppe QET4100 Qualcomm
-
Amplificateur audio MAX98512 Maxim
From the SAMSUNG’s product link http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/dra... , it is 48Gb LPDDR4x which should be 6GB capacity.
Oh my GOD!!!! Samesung doesn’t make all their own parts!!!!!! Toshiba, Avago, Qualcomm, Maxim and a number of others!!!! Not that I really care. But this is something fandroids like to bash the iPhone over. The simple fact is, few company’s make their own parts. Apple does design their own parts including the CPU/GPU and other chips and even though the iPhone X OLED screen is made by Samesung, it was designed by Apple!!! That’s the point. A Smartphone is so complex, there is no way any simple company could make ALL their own parts. Samesung does make a lot of their own parts though. That’s a big advantage or them. For those factory’s to make a profit, that have to also make parts for others like Apple. To Apple’s specs. Those places generally have to run 24/7.
SAMSUNG makes more their own parts than Apple. The one you see here is “Qualcomm AP-based” S9+. You may check “SAMSUNG AP-based” model. SAMSUNG made their own CPU, GPU, modem, NFC, PMIC, LPDDR4x, UFS…

-
La fièvre du démontage atteint son apogée lorsque nous entreprenons de desceller l'écran. Toute cette glu met notre patience à rude épreuve et nous finissons encore une fois par abandonner notre pile d'iOpeners en faveur d'un pistolet à air chaud.
-
Comme tout à l'heure, combiner chaleur et médiator est efficace, mais vouloir remplacer un écran cassé sera à chaque fois un marathon épuisant.
-
La nappe d'écran de fabrication Samsung, dénommée Star à l'instar des caméras, relie l'écran et la vitre tactile en un seul bloc soudé.
-
Nous trouvons une dernière puce nichée sur l'écran :
-
Contrôleur de la vitre tactile S6SY761X Samsung (le même que dans la gamme des S8)
Wow. That screen is now useless. What a
These phones are just getting harder to work on. The screen should be easy to replace as that gets cracked quite often. To replace the screen on one of these, I wouldn’t do it. Where would you take a Samesung phone for a screen replacement?
Well, I guess you'd go to your bank, and withdraw $400 to pay for it.
The only way I've been able to remove the screen is to work from the other side.
Work some isopropyl alcohol through the battery compartment, LCD cable slot, camera mount, and headphone jack area. Flex the glass back and forth to suck the IPA in there, then heat up the aluminum frame to loosen the adhesive holding the OLED panel to the frame. Usually I start from the edge closest to the battery and buttons. As soon as there's a slight gap, work in a pry tool to break the adhesive, add a bit more IPA then heat, and work your way around to the top and bottom, then the other edge just levers off.
My rationale for starting from that side is that you're heating the adhesive holding the OLED to the frame more than you're heating the adhesive holding the glass to the OLED. It still shouldn't get too hot to handle with rubber/nitrile gloves on.
I've done this with an 80+% success rate on more than a dozen phones with only two destroyed screens, maybe three, but I wasn't trying to save that last one.
Would you mind posting a close up photo of the Samsung S6SY761X touch controller?
A better photo may help me identify the chip’s model. Then I can have a closer loot at the specs.
Samsung seems to hint at a Scan/Report rate of 160Hz/120Hz.
Thanks!

Il est temps de jeter un œil à la technologie biométrique.
-
Sur la gauche, le hardware du S9+, qui ressemble furieusement à ce que nous avons trouvé l'année dernière. Ce qui inclut : scanner de l'iris, caméra frontale, émetteur infrarouge et capteur de proximité.
-
Sur la droite, la raison d'être de la célèbre encoche d'Apple : le module Face ID comprenant la caméra frontale, le projecteur à points infrarouges, la caméra infrarouge plus l'illuminateur et le télémètre intégrés dans l'écran.
-
À en croire les premiers tests, il est possible que Samsung ait eu trop d'ambition en sautant sur le train des Animoji sans mettre à jour le hardware resté donc trop lent.
Ugh, the cringe is
Crying on every picture, get a grip
Samesung’s version seems a little creepy. Not sure who would use it. More Gimmick than anything anyway.
Samsung scans your eye. Apple scans your entire face. Your eye is more unique than a fingerprint or your face. I don’t see what’s so creepy about an eye scanner… they’ve been around since the 90’s, and it’s pretty hard to trick a modern one. While a face, on the other hand, could be tricked easily with a picture molded onto a dummy head or a mask.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_recog...
Please stop calling Samsung a gimmick just because you personally have no use for its features.
I would say both Animoji and AR Emoji are both gimmicks. The difference being you can actually use your avatar as a gif in many 3rd party apps similarly to Bitmoji. It is kind of creepy. However I think both are novelty. You can’t single out Samsung just because you own an iPhone X.
djlobb01 -
He's talking about the animoji not the face or retina scanning!
Is it just me or the arrangement of the front facing camera and sensors differ from one phone to the other? I have my front facing camera alone on the right side of the phone and the other sensors are on the left side. Also when i checked jerryrig's teardown video on the S9, the front facing camera has another lense besides it.

-
C'est dans la boîte ! Pour le moment en tout cas. Posez vos yeux sur les pièces détachées du Galaxy S9+ et restez à l'affût du prochain démontage d'iFixit.
Why a 4 if it's easily opened and fixed screen is an old one which means there is no way of saving it so removing the broken glass with the screen means just replacing everything you guys are way behind on technology
-
- Beaucoup de composants sont modulaires et se remplacent indépendamment.
- Remplacer la batterie est techniquement possible, mais y accéder reste un défi superflu.
- Les vitres avant et arrière collées ont un plus grand risque de casser et rendent le début de toute réparation difficile.
- Réparer l'écran nécessite un long démontage et une dure bataille contre la colle.

Just like the S8 being called the “Dream”, the Note 8 was called the “Great” and the S9 is called the “Star.“ So yes, there are fingerprint sensors out there called the “Dream Finger,“ “Great Finger,“ and “Star Finger.“ Weird, yet hilarious.
Hey look at that “DREAM FINGER” right here on the S8 cable! Great info!
Lmao, I hope you understand your referring to the ribbon and not the entire sensor; I am not at liberty to correct you, but lookup the description of a fingerprint sensor from a genuine OEM authorized reseller
Yes, I do understand that I am referring to the ribbon, that’s why I called it a cable. It’s not a leap to assume that the cable is carrying the label for the assembly. Just like the “S9+” printed on the rear case represents the whole phone, not just the glass.
The sticky black webbing on the battery is most likely a thermal pad to assist with heat dissipation. An air gap, even a tiny one (microns) still acts as a poor thermal conductor.
No it isn't.
It's interesting, isn't it, that they dedicate significant internal space to that heat pipe for better thermal management. However even so, neither chip (I assume, more testing needed) catches the A11s sustained performance over time. Makes me wonder what improvement that heat pipe would show in the A11. And makes me want an actively cooled A11X clamshell….
I’m waiting since the launch of iPhone X, I think it will beat a decent amount of i7 processors.
Abedoss -
Dahhhh, A11 already been beaten --follow antutu news more frequently,
You guys did not talk about the new heart rate pulse oximeter sensor that Samsung is touting. I noted it has 4 LEDs (a pair of red and a pair of infrared?). It is definitely not the same part as the S8, which appears to be a Maxim IC. Comments?
Probably a similar system to the Apple Watch. Except it’s red instead of green.
Hi. Hmm the wireless charger receiver does not look like it is exactly in the middle. It looks more towards the bottom part of the phone. Maybe the size is bigger? Would you please confirm the exact location and size of the wireless charging receiver coil?
Nope, it’s pretty much dead center, it’s the set of concentric circles in the center of the phone seen here.
As usually the screen broke? You have to pay for the frame, hearpeace, small prarts and to pay 450$ nice
My supplier only sells Samsung LCD’s with the Frames, however only accepts ones without frames for recycle. So I have frames sitting around doing nothing.
Hello:
So, no radio on this model either?
Thanx for another great video and teardown explanation : )
Pour moi ce téléphone aurait une note de 7/10
I dropped and cracked the rear glass on my galaxy s9+. I don't want to take it in to sprint to have them replace it because they'll charge me a fee when I can do it myself. Does anyone know where I can buy one?
I mistakenly thought the bottom of the phone had the sim card slot. I inserted the sim tool into the small hole next to the usb c port. I think this is part of the speaker. Did I do any damage?
That’s a microphone opening.
me too. I just did that and mic seems to work OK but idk if it works flawlessly or if the seal is broken. Why they make all this things so confusing.
Please let me know your outcome.
So what about the camera lens cover? Can that still be replaced in the same way as with the S8+? I.e.: basically just heat it up with a heat gun and snap/break it out, then put a new one in with a sticky pad… All without without having to actually open up the phone?
Obviously the lens cover is now rectangular in shape an no longer square but other than that I’m hoping it’s the same procedure as I have a brand new s9+ that already has a scratch running through the lens which is causing a lot of glare in sunny shots :(
Any news on when a replacement part like that might start hitting the store??
Thx!
I suspect that the pad on the battery is for friction and vibration control. The gap between the midframe and the battery will close over time and at some point it will rub and rattle.
I had broken my camera lens glass slip what can i do for it????
Now i am fight (:)) with Samsung. My display crash near CPU (thank you to show me where is it) passing from very hot (summer sunny day +40 and phone working with gmap) to cold (train with strong air conditioner) , and samsung say this problem is not covered from guarantee. Bha… To someone happen? in case please contact me , details on website
image here http://mauro.telani.info/1.jpg
but to replace the volume and power keys you have to change the whole central frame ???
The power and volume keys can be replaced separately, if you have the parts. They come out of the frame without too much trouble.
So i was looking into replacing my s9+ battery. And this is my first time ever even doing anything like that with any phone. Would you recommend me doing it? Or should I just take it to a professional store? What are some of the issues with me doing it and what all can happen? Thanks!
@nickc68 The S9+ is less than a year old, so if your battery is already going bad, you should probably just submit a warranty claim and let Samsung take care of it. I’m all for using the DIY option, but it’s not the customer’s responsibility to replace a faulty battery on a device that’s still under warranty. In terms of the procedure, it’s almost identical to replacing a battery on the S8+.
S9+ fingerprint sensor “screen" is made out of what?
