TL;DR
- iFixit has conducted a teardown of the Galaxy S26 Ultra to rate its repairability.
- Removing the back plate, battery, rear cameras, USB-C port, and more was a breeze.
- However, the team had serious trouble removing the display and selfie camera.
Although Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra is one of the best Android phones of last year, it left a lot to be desired in the repairability department. The 2025 phone only managed to earn a measly 5 out of 10 repairability score from iFixit. Now that the Galaxy S26 Ultra is available, did Samsung fix this mistake on its latest flagship? It seems that the answer is a bit of a mixed bag.
