This Galaxy Z Fold 7 teardown might give you night terrors over its repairability

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 review.

What you need to know

  • A teardown video from iFixit highlights the sheer difficulty you'd find in trying to repair a Galaxy Z Fold 7.
  • The "pull tab" battery removal method is "inferior," as it requires too much force, which could end up damaging the battery or ripping the tab.
  • While any camera damage would require someone to disassemble the phone, the inner display is extremely fragile and difficult, meaning it should only be removed if it's already damaged.
  • iFixit cut ties with Samsung in 2024 due to a misalignment in device repairability ideals.
