When Samsung introduced the Galaxy S25 Edge, its impressively slim design sparked curiosity and apprehension regarding its durability. Many wondered if such a thin device could withstand everyday use.

Initial durability tests provided some reassurance, confirming the phone’s robustness. Recently, a teardown video has shed further light on its repairability, revealing that the Galaxy S25 Edge is surprisingly easy to fix.

Samsung faced a significant challenge in creating the Galaxy S25 Edge, packing state-of-the-art technology into a body just 5.8 mm thick. Concerns about potential issues, like the infamous “bendgate” that plagued the iPhone 6, were valid.

Fortunately, early indications suggest that the Galaxy S25 Edge has successfully avoided such pitfalls. According to PBKReviews, a trusted source in the tech community for repair evaluations, the Galaxy S25 Edge scored an impressive 8.5 out of 10 for repairability in their detailed disassembly video.

For comparison, the standard Galaxy S25 received a score of 9/10. This indicates that the Edge’s sleek profile does not significantly complicate the repair process.

The teardown process aligns closely with standard procedures for modern smartphones. It typically involves removing the SIM tray, applying heat to the back panel, and utilizing tools to carefully detach it.

Following this, the process continues with unscrewing Phillips screws, disconnecting cables, and finally removing the battery. The teardown video highlighted several factors contributing to the Galaxy S25 Edge’s impressive score.

Parts availability received a perfect score along with battery and miscellaneous parts replacement. Screen replacement, often a challenging aspect for many devices, achieved a respectable score as well.

These findings should alleviate concerns for potential buyers of the Galaxy S25 Edge, particularly those hesitant due to repairability worries. Despite its modern and minimalist design, Samsung has managed to create a smartphone that is relatively easy to repair, a welcome advancement for consumers and sustainability in the tech industry.
