Samsung didn’t change much in the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s hardware but it seems the improvements turned out to be meaningful. According to the iFixit teardown video of Galaxy S25, the flagship device received the highest repairability score for a Samsung phone in the past 10 years. Here’s a quick rundown of the teardown video.

iFixit Teardown of Galaxy S25

One of the biggest changes observed in the iFixit teardown video of Galaxy S25 is how easy it is to replace the battery. Samsung has added four pull tabs behind the battery making it simple to remove without the need for extra force.

Unlike previous models, the battery is no longer glued to the chassis, which iFixit praised as one of the best decisions Samsung made.

However, the display is still tricky to remove. The iFixit team had to heat the phone to 150°C for three minutes just to soften the adhesive. Even then, the glue remained quite strong. Fortunately, most repairs don’t require removing the display, so unless it’s broken, it’s best left untouched.

Interestingly, iFixit didn’t mention the removable camera rings but reports suggest the lens cover glass can be replaced without removing the back panel.

Check out the full video here –

To remind about iFixit with Samsung gadget teardowns, the Android Central report highlights, “It’s worth noting that iFixit cut ties with Samsung last spring as its repairability goals were misaligned. Much like the Galaxy S25 Ultra, iFixit highlighted how Samsung’s products are “too glued together,” which made it hard for the former to deliver the parts home repair consumers would need without a price spike.”

Overall, it seems the Galaxy S25 Ultra comes with minor improvements in performance, battery life and camera quality over its predecessor. If you already own a recent Galaxy Ultra phone, you might want to wait for next year’s model. Rumours suggest Samsung could switch to Si/C Li-Ion batteries, which offer higher energy density and bigger capacities without adding bulk.

The teardown made an interesting observation about the S25 Ultra’s S Pen. The stylus uses a PCB and has a structure quite similar to its predecessor.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 May Lose Some S Pen Features

Speaking of the S Pen, we are getting reports that suggest the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 might be getting a slimmer design that could come at a cost. Rumours suggest we might be losing the S Pen experience.

A leak from an X tipster suggests that Samsung is considering scaling back the Fold’s stylus capabilities.

The Galaxy Z Fold series introduced stylus support with the Z Fold 3 in 2021 but it has always been somewhat limited compared to the S Pen in the Galaxy S Ultra series. For example, the Fold’s S Pen has never had Bluetooth support and now, the Z Fold 7 might take this a step further and remove even more features.

Samsung appears to be focusing on making the Fold 7 the thinnest model yet. According to the leak, the phone will be even slimmer than the Z Fold Special Edition, which measures 4.9mm when unfolded and 10.6mm when folded.

This wouldn’t be the first time Samsung tweaked S Pen functionality to fit a design change. Even the Galaxy S25 Ultra removed Bluetooth support for its S Pen. If the leak is accurate, the Fold 7 may sacrifice stylus features for a sleeker, more compact build.

FAQs

Q1. What is the repairability score of the Galaxy S25 Ultra according to iFixit?

Answer. The Galaxy S25 Ultra received the highest repairability score for a Samsung phone in the past decade.

Q2. What significant change did Samsung make to the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s battery design?

Answer. Samsung added four pull tabs behind the battery, making it simple to remove without the need for extra force. The battery is no longer glued to the chassis.

Q3. What potential changes are rumoured for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 regarding the S Pen?

Answer. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 might lose some S Pen features as Samsung focuses on making it the thinnest model yet. The Fold’s stylus capabilities could be further scaled back.

Highlights

  • Apple’s robot projects are not expected to reach mass production until 2028 or later.
  • Apple has shared some of its early robotics research to attract talent and is exploring both humanoid and non-humanoid robots.
  • The recently shared video and research paper hint at the kind of tabletop home robot.

A recent video of an Apple-made robot lamp sparked excitement about the company’s future in robotics. However, it appears fans have to wait for a few years before they can get their hands on any actual Apple Robot products. Here’s what we know.

Well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has shared an update suggesting that Apple’s robot projects are still in the proof-of-concept stage and won’t be ready for mass production until 2028 or later.

In a detailed post on X (formerly Twitter), Kuo explained, “The timeline from POC [proof-of-concept] to formal kick-off varies. Given current progress and typical development cycles, Apple’s robot mass production likely won’t start until 2028 or later. Interestingly, Apple has been unusually open about sharing some of its robotics research during the early POC stage—possibly to attract talent.”

The recent video and research paper titled “ELEGNT: Expressive and Functional Movement Design for Non-Anthropomorphic Robot” provided the first real glimpse into what Apple’s robotics projects might look like. However, ‘robots’ in Apple’s case don’t necessarily mean humanoid machines.

Kuo confirmed that Apple is exploring both humanoid and non-humanoid robots as part of a future smart home ecosystem, but these are still in the early research phase. The analyst writes, “Apple is exploring both humanoid and non-humanoid robots for its future smart home ecosystem, and these products are still in the early proof-of-concept (POC) stage internally.”

The robot lamp prototype that Apple has publicly shared might hint at the kind of tabletop home robot the company is developing.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman previously reported that Apple was aiming to launch a home robot by 2026 or 2027, but Kuo’s latest analysis suggests that we might not see anything until at least 2028, possibly indicating a difference in how they define a “robot.”

FAQs

Q1. When are Apple’s robot products expected to be ready for mass production?

Answer. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple’s robot projects are still in the proof-of-concept stage and likely won’t be ready for mass production until 2028 or later.

Q2. What types of robots is Apple exploring for the future smart home ecosystem?

Answer. Apple is exploring both humanoid and non-humanoid robots as part of its future smart home ecosystem.

Q3. What is the significance of the robot lamp prototype shared by Apple?

Answer. The robot lamp prototype hints at the type of tabletop home robot Apple might be developing, but actual product releases are still years away.

The Galaxy A series has evolved quite a bit over the years. The A54 introduced a rounded design with smooth curves where glass meets metal, while last year’s A55 adopted a flatter frame, taking cues from the flagship Galaxy S24 series. One unique feature from the A55—a slight power button hump—seems to be sticking around in the A56 as well.

One of the most noticeable changes is the new camera array design. Unlike Samsung’s previous isolated lens setup, the Galaxy A56 features a shrouded camera unit that groups all the lenses together. The reason for this change isn’t clear yet, but it could be a cost-related decision given that this is a mid-range device.

Samsung Galaxy A56 – Expected Features

The Galaxy A56 5G is rumoured to come with a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display featuring a 1080 x 2400 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen is also expected to be protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, offering better resistance to scratches and minor drops.

Under the hood, the device is set to be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 1580 processor, built on a 4nm process for improved efficiency and performance. It will reportedly include 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage with support for microSD card expansion.

One of the biggest rumoured upgrades is the 5,000mAh battery with a significant boost of 45W fast charging. As for the camera, the Galaxy A56 is expected to feature a triple-camera system on the back including the following –

  • 50MP primary sensor for high-quality shots.
  • 12MP ultra-wide lens for wider landscapes and group photos.
  • 5MP macro camera for detailed close-ups.
  • On the front, the 12MP punch-hole camera will handle selfies and video calls.

Samsung Galaxy A56 – Launch and Pricing

There’s no official word on the Galaxy A56’s launch date yet but the leaks suggest it’s coming soon. For pricing, the A55 launched at £439 in the UK and €469 in Europe, though it wasn’t available in the US.

If Samsung maintains its pricing strategy, the A56 could be launched in the same price range.
