• The standard Galaxy S24 doesn’t have a UWB antenna, while the Galaxy S24+ and S24 Ultra phones do feature this.
• The mainboard has a dual-layer design similar to last year.
• The 12MP front camera is glued in place, which means you have to use a knife to cut the glue around the sensor. The rear cameras can be popped off easily.
• The battery of the Galaxy S24 can be removed with a pull tab
• The disassembly video shows the standard Samsung Galaxy S24 features a large copper vapour chamber underneath the battery. It is said to be almost double the size compared to the Galaxy S23.
• Unfortunately, removing the screen from the frame doesn’t look that easy, courtesy of the very narrow bezels. It is almost impossible to pry the screen without damaging it. 

The Samsung Galaxy S24 gets a 9 out of 10 repairability score. The phone has managed to get brownie points for parts availability, the ease of battery replacement, and the ease of replacing other parts like the charger port. The phone scored 1.5 out of 2 maximum points for internal organisation and how much time a repair takes, as well as for screen replacement.
