Until you remember, they make foldables that are pretty much e-waste out the gate as soon as it comes to repairing anything screen-related. Foldable repairs are also hugely wasteful since a replacement comes with a screen attached to the chassis and is doubtful that it will ever be truly recycled. Even so, it's a gamble that during switching the internals, the hinge mechanism will be intact - assuming any damage hasn't already hindered functionality to as to make it useful for a future repair progect - again, also assuming anybody wants to go through the ardious, risky process of trying to repair the screen and frankenstein a new one to an old chassis. How people spend nearly 1k on a flip or, in the case of the fold, close to or above 2k on those things for lesser specs than a s22+ or s23U is beyond me, simply because it folds. Sorry about the tangent, but folding isn't an excuse to cheap out on specs comparable to the price range of their galaxy flagships.

@@HakunaMatata225 I run my own repair company. Samsungs are infinitely easier and better to work on than all other vendors (except a rare 1 or 2 like FairPhone), especially compared to Apple. Apple in particular being the next most popular mobile company, have what I like to call "Surprise traps", proprietary easily strippable screws and extremely fragile flex cables alongside parts-pairing (majority of the parts can't be replaced without losing phone functionality) when opening. The worst part I'd say about opening a Samsung phone is probably just prying the back glass off and for reference, I've done over 50+ Samsungs and never broken the back glass once, so in my own opinion, I find it easy. As for difficulty, if you've never opened a phone before then chances are that it will be really hard to do with the design of modern phones having liquid resistant adhesive seals and whatnot making it easy to break fragile parts like the back glass I mentioned earlier. If your interested in learning, I'd look at picking up a few cheap and broken phones online that have no value to get started.

@PBKreviews, Which phone do you think is better in terms of build quality and operation, S22ultra or S23 ultra?
I've recently dropped mine and something has come loose inside. The screen won't work and with that I can't tell if it still has power or charging. Any ideas what might have come loose inside that would have caused the phone to stop working?
Hello, I'm sorry, if you can help me, on the S23 Ultra screen, I press exactly the part where the copper foil is located behind the periscope camera, it makes a sound like plastic, is this sound due to the presence of the copper foil under the screen and is it normal??

They might have done the minimum to make sure people can't swap things around. Pixel used the same connector for the 6pro 7pro unlike Apple who radically changes everything from on phone to the other 😂 making sure there's no 13 pro with Dynamic Island out in the wild.

How does it look like that already at release date
Received my s23 ultra the other day. After testing the phone, I took a nap. However, I decided to add another sim on the slot when I woke up. I accidentally inserted the sim ejector pin to one of the tiny mic holes at the bottom with enough force thinking to eject the sim slot. My question is, is there some kind of barrier to protect the mic from being poked? I recorded multiple vids and made calls, mic is ok they said.. I hope the pin didnt puncture through the mic. Any help and suggestions would be appreciated. There are two holes for the mic at the bottom of the phone. Is the mic located directly in front of those holes?

You can try a software update since some replacement screens require the phone to be on the latest software to work properly. I know you can't access the phone since touch don't work, so you may need to use another screen which works with the phone like your old screen if still usable or you would be required to flash the firmware with the computer which will also result in your data being lost. Most of the time it would be that, if still no luck, you can re check the cables.
Such a great video.
