Galaxy Ring disassembled online: it turned out to be impossible to repair

Samsung's new fitness gadget, the Galaxy Ring, has already fallen into the hands of the iFixit team, which has carried out its first disassembly. The results of the dismantling show serious difficulties with the repair: disassembling the device practically makes it unusable.

Here's What We Know

As it turned out, disassembling the Galaxy Ring destroys critical components, and after that it will not be possible to put it back together in a working condition. This can mean high costs for owners after the warranty expires, as the only option is to buy a new device.

iFixit notes that the internal parts include standard components such as power management and NFC chips, as well as a wireless charging controller.

The tinkerers were surprised by the fact that Samsung uses press connectors for the battery and inductive coil instead of soldering. This may be an attempt to reduce production costs. Although disassembling the ring still leads to its damage. Perhaps Samsung has special equipment for disassembly without damage, which explains this design.
