Glad to see the progress Samsung is making with repairability! Hopefully other manufacturers follow their footsteps soon

I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who was glad about the result. Good job Samsung.

Samsung seems to be taking the sustainable concept relatively better than others. They promised 4 years of major upgrades and seeing that the hardware is repairable without any bad consequences, it's a good move.

Hello, I’m a manager of a Samsung experience store, and we have a repair center at the back of the experience center, with the new S22 series Samsung removed all the incompatibility errors with repairs. We even tested the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner in many ways and didn’t found any problems. I own a Ultra variant for a couple weeks and before the announcement we had to use a special case to hide its exterior, we can confirm that with the ultra series you won’t find any problems also :) If you get some errors nonetheless in terms of inaccurate fingerprint scanning the experience stores should calibrate the sensor for a small fee since you replaced the screen out of warranty. We tested in many ways and didn’t found a single problem with any function of the S22 series including the ultra so we expect not to have that many customers coming in for calibrations or other situations. But since it’s tech we still offer the option.

Happy to see Samsung still allowing repairs on their phones. I'm hoping this trend continues on their A-series smartphones, wouldn't want a repeat of the A51.

Kinda bumming that we have to congratulate Samsung on doing the bare minimum for phone owners actually owning their phones, but still it's good to see

I just finished tearing down the S22 ultra for a video. I found it really easy to repair. Besides the front camera, everything is really modular and simple. Still don’t know why they glued the front camera in place.

VERY useful information. I'm not buying any of the S22 models, but it is nice to know where customers stand with Samsung and repairability as the years go by. 👍

Nice teardowns, as always, I like how you explain the pros and cons of phones from a repair standpoint, and plus, you repair the phone SOOOOO professionally, it's not even funny, most repair shops cannot even get a SINGLE repair right, it's just SOOOOO laughably disappointing. I don't know how these people even get jobs in the first place, and you don't. You MORE than deserve to open your own repair shop chain with people that are JUST as experienced as you. Also, if you were to open an electronics repair chain globally, your method of getting new employees approved should be more rigorous and thorough, just to make sure they're experienced enough, otherwise, just kick their sorry butts out, haha. Awesome content, as always, Hugh, stay safe during these pandemic times!! 😇👊😎

Well done Samsung for making them repairable. Great video too!

6:18 that was honestly a lot funnier than expected, wouldn’t think switching original parts would lead tk such catastrophic results

Never buy a phone before Hugh has done his tests of repairability and software locks!

Thanks Hugh for the comments about the glass back, many folks made disparaging remarks about last years glastic back, plastic is far more durable. Also the lack of charger is complete BS as was the removal of the headphone jack and sd card slot. What other product removes features instead of adding them-none!!

i like how simple the s22 is to fix (aside from the battery of course)

Hughes, I really loved this disassembly vid. I think more phones should be modular it makes keeping track of screws and parts easier. Please do more of these types of vids.

i love your video 😍😍👌

Great video Hugh! (Love the dark shots at the start 😃)

Great work 👍🏽. Samsung always a viable solution for repair and DIY

Hugh...I knew this was coming ,Great video as always 🙏🏿

Been waiting for this as Im seriously considering this phone, thanks for all the insight, great video as always!

Great video Hugh I have a s22 coming tomorrow and happy to see the repair ability

Morning Hugh thank you so for all the great videos 😊

I never thought of using a suction cup to help remove the battery. Should make it much easier as Samsung batteries are always much more difficult than an iPhone. Good idea!

Another great video Hugh.

great vid as always!

i love ur videos hugh, keep up the good work

Wow this is so incredibly encouraging

Worth the wait!

Respect to Samsung to be one of the first to bring the repairable phones sorth of back. Of curse we won't get back to that "pop the back of and replace the battery" but still

I'm pleasantly surprised at how relatively simple to disassemble this thing is. Nice.

This is awesome to see!

I always liked how clean Samsung phones where insides not to mention Its actually really nice that they don’t software lock everything like apple does which is really refreshing to see. What’s even more interesting Is that there’s that many less parts in this phone.

I am loving these new intros you put on your videos… look so cool

Been waiting for u bro finally

Glad to see the progress Samsung is making with delivery thrown in the box.

This is great to see!

Very nice and insightful teardown and btw awesome video, i belive the reason of why the screen dimms on download mode is to avoid burn in on the screen while the flash happens(i remember getting worried about it when I flashed my own s5 years ago with the screen going really bright), although it may as well be on purpose to deter flashing as you mentioned. In any way, great work for the right to repair movement! Nice work

I pre-ordered the S22 ultra, I've always had Samsung phones and glad to see this!

Another great video

I like what you are doing here to test. And thank you for your opinions on repair and longetivity of products

"It's almost like you own this phone" This is gold.

Really very super & informative one bro Thanks

I love these videos

Yay I love all your vids

Hugh Jeffrey never disappointing us

Wow….that green color is just gorgeous

Removing the charger is as much about saving the planet as adding a glass back is about durability 😂

I wanted to not thank you for the past several years of infotainment, but for the tips I eventually needed. This week I successfully replaced the battery in my Galaxy S10.

good job , top teardown & info thx

Samsung returns to being a king of repairability

Great Teardown Video! 👍 👍

Thanks for answering the question of incidentally inserting the sim-eject-tool into the microphone port mate!

I'm glad to see Samsung progressing in making their products repairable. Although, if this is the entire repair assessment of the Galaxy S22, I would have loved to see swapped motherboards, batteries, wireless charging modules, antennas, or the lower daughterboard ( the speakers and mic) swapped from each of the phones, instead of just the cameras, for a more thorough investigation. Hopefully, others agree, and there's a part two to this. Thank you for being the very few to actually do a repair assessment on the Galaxy S 22. We all appreciate your efforts, Hugh :)

Nice video dude

Very good! Thanks.

Hi, I'm from China, I saw your content, thanks for your videos, I learned a lot. Thank you and I congratulate you.

Everybody's going wild over Samsung's S series and foldable phones. But the real heroes are the A series, especially this year's A33, A53, and A73. They are great phones with awesome specs and at half the price of the flagships.

Thanks for your👍👍

Man the green color look amazing If Apple make this color for next iPhone 14 pro I immediately buy it

Green colour look so goooood

I honestly love that green S22, it's such a great color. Also no I don't think they removed the charger to help the environment, rather to save up on making so many chargers. At least they didn't make repairs harder so that's a plus

Interesting teardown glad it's more simple then recent iPhone's but shame a unlocked bootloader messes some things up but, all in all good on the repairability side! good stuff Hugh!!

Thank you hugh

Nice work bro

Thank you Hugh Jeffreys. as usual, top notch content. aaaaaaaaand i like your haircut :)

Samsung is just awesome 😎

I always love a good Samsung that is easy to dissasemble. I can't wait to have some for screen repair.

Sounds good.

Dont forget about us small folks when u get the 1 mill subs.Production on point like mkhd

Love my S22

I was just watching death note but you have uploaded and thats more important

I'm impressed

Glad to see this Samsung S22s. I want to see even the latest Xiaomi phones

Very informative video ❤️

Shhhh! I came here just to see the microphone just to learn I probably didn't damage it! You are the man!

Well, at least the battery being superglued into there actually has a point (smaller risk of damage through movement), unlike with Apple's software locks which only exist do f*ck with you.

The green one looks so classy

Love from Morocco guys ❤

Great job Samsung!!!

Would love to see you do a teardown of the Xcover 6 Pro. I really enjoy your particular style in these videos. Very meticulous and without drawing attention to yourself.

So good to know that the S21 and S22 series are repairable in some sense.....that good to know for me in the future

These devices are amazing. Most of their inner bulk is battery, and their motherboards are so tiny and minimal.

I just purchased this phone today and accidentally stuck the sim tool in the mic hole, i know you said it won't damage the mic but does it damage the water resistance?

This is why I love Samsung... decent software and performance... whilst being able to keep your phone lasting for longer by being able to repair it

Hey Hugh, how do you pull off that lighting in the intro shot

Nice video 👍

I like how you fixed so many phones

awesome video..awesome phones

Very nice bro

I'm glad to sub to you. I don't do repairs, but love your Chanel

good job, Samsung!

10:35 I think part of the issue for people's concern is if when a person accidentally inserts the sim ejector tool into the microphone port - is if the waterproof seal can be punctured and therefore potential water leak inside. Is that possible? I know it happened to me where I stupidly one late night pushed it too far...it had some resistance and then fully went in. That's how I knew I had punctured it. Now when I very carefully insert the ejector tool again to check it, it provides no resistance.

Bro I just used the "SIM removal tool" on the overhead microphone, is there any problem with the water resistant?

Great video, like that you describe everything that your doing. I do wish that you had applied new adhesive so I would know how to do that. Thank You!!😁

Is the microphone on the top the same being offset so it cant be damaged ?

Both the phones after teardown and repair assest: What's up dude👍

I've used several Samsung phones over the last 10 years, and I still keep them in a drawer. They all still work, although the batteries have lost some capacity...

The silver S22 reminds me of the Galaxy S6 with its silver sides.

"Amazing" Good video

Great video thanks!!!! I got the S22 and I was wrong using the clip for the SIM..I used it in the hole of the microphone close to the camara. Is it possible I damaged anything? Thank you!
