The Samsung Galaxy S5 has an international release date of April 11, but a Russian website, Ferra, managed to get their hands on one and tear it down.
According to the site, it will be very difficult to remove the screen from the device because of a special adhesive that Samsung is using. After getting the display off the device, the teardown is apparently a little easier, but the entire operation will still take over an hour.
It’s no surprise that the device is hard to repair because of the fact that it is dust and water resistant (IP67-certified). Because of that, Samsung has to make sure that the parts are pretty tightly assembled.
The teardown also showed that the battery was not square like other Galaxy S devices, but instead was rectangular like the batteries found in Apple’s latest devices.
