In abstract, the brand new sticky tabs for the battery are nice. The (most commonly) modular cameras additionally bumped up Galaxy S25 Extremely’s repairability rating. Display replacements are nonetheless a ache, although. Samsung should also make stronger its fix documentation, says iFixit, and promote alternative portions personally as a substitute of as bundles.
