The guys at iFixit already have in their possession the new Galaxy S9 +, a model that they have already proceeded to disassemble completely to check repairability which offers for future repairs by users who want to purchase an iFixit repair kit to fix their device.
As expected, the Galaxy S9 + has already passed through the table of these guys to show us not only its repairability, but also some of its most characteristic elements, such as the new camera offered by both the S9 and the S9 +.
One of the main novelties that the Galaxy S9 and S9 + have brought us by hand we find in the camera section where both models have a lens, mainly in the case of the S9 +, a slow one that offers a variable aperture from f / 1,5 to f / 2,4, these two being the only apertures it offers.
Until now, all Samsung cameras, and that of most manufacturers, offered us a 5-blade system, a system that in this new variable camera has been modified to be only 2 sheets, which allows the size of the lens to remain relatively small and the operation to be much more precise.
The repairability index of the Galaxy S9 + is 4 out of 10, the same score as the Galaxy Note 8. Both the iPhone X and the Google Pixe 2 XL have a score of 6 out of 10, while the Essential Phone only achieved a score of 1 out of 10.
Part of the blame for this low grade is found again in the large amount of glue that surrounds the terminal screen, which makes the task of opening the device an almost impossible mission if we do not want to break the screen. As for the battery, Samsung has once again used glue sparingly so that it is fully attached to the entire body.
