Overview
- PBKReviews posted a full disassembly of the base Galaxy S26, giving the first detailed look at its internal layout and repair steps.
- The video shows a modular build held together with screws, with the rear camera block unplugging as a unit and the front camera replaceable despite adhesive.
- The 4,300 mAh battery uses pull tabs for quick removal, revealing a larger vapor chamber under the battery and the motherboard.
- A sub-board that includes the USB-C port is fastened by two screws and uses a red rubber gasket at the charging port, while the volume and power button flex and the physical buttons can be swapped.
- PBKReviews scored the phone 9 out of 10 after a successful reassembly that powered on, a finding echoed by GSMArena, Gadgets 360, and SamMobile, while iFixit’s separate S26 Ultra teardown scored 5/10 due to a difficult screen job and limited official parts guidance.
