I waited 8 years for this Galaxy S23 Ultra Teardown...
FINALLY - after 8 years - Samsung has made the change we've been waiting for! Grab a Teardown skin for your own phone HERE: www.dbrand.com/teardown I have personally been using a Samsung phone from way back to the old school Galaxy S1 Vibrant Days. So to finally see Samsung take this new Galaxy S23 Ultra and add a replaceable battery is a HUGE DEAL. I'm very excited about how the Galaxy S23 Ultra line is changing direction to be more repairable. Get the S23 Ultra at Samsung: howl.me/ckF4auAVZYt

"From now on I'm gonna be significantly more careful" Proceeds to destroy wireless charging pad
I was looking for this comment 😂😂👌🏼
I bet it still works, he scratched the plastic coating only
@@timoarrg Nah he scratched off some of the copper wiring, it's ruined as he probably destroyed the circuit
@@LashanR as long as he didn't cut one of the traces it can be fine, we really don't know but yeah, it may be broken
💯💯💯💯
''And I imagine some people who accidently slipped it in the wrong hole.'' jerry definitely knew what he was doing.
😳
It happens
His name's not Jerry lmao
@@nindokwan I know, it is Zach, that was a joke lmao
@@CristianoRonaldo-og4wthow was it?
1:58.. I look forward to hearing this in every teardown!!! Love the channel, thank you so much for the entertainment!
Coolest presentation I ever heard! Thanks for the breakdown and always be careful where you put your tools.
What i learnt from this video - Always remember to listen to that battery sticker and pull out. - Its ok if you sometimes put it in the wrong hole (no damage) - Keep the screen working so you dont have to make eye contact - Its a good idea to have foam balls, it makes things sound bigger and better.
Maybe I need foam balls 😔
Also putting it in the wrong hole might cause a life long damage. Depends...
Underrated comment but let's wait for a few days...
I'm a hardcore advocate for always wearing a protection
@@TheRealGigaCat yeah if you have bigger sim ejector tool.
Zach's major problem in every galaxy device teardown is Samsung using strong adhesives to glue the battery to the device, but now Samsung has started using Pull Tabs, I am sure Zach can now finally upgrade to the S23 Ultra from his Note 10 Plus!.
If Zach actually takes care of his battery over the years that he has, there is basically no need to replace. My Note 10+ after almost 4 years of use, gets a little over 6 hours of on screen use from 90 to 10. Only reason why I got the S23 ultra was that I got almost $700 off trading in so it was a no brainer after 4 years. But I am not getting the super great battery that everyone else is getting. 8 hours of off screen time when sleeping is almost 3-4% battery loss from this phone which is the same as my note 10+
@@95thRiflesOCI Does the Note 10+ still receive security updates though? If so, for how much longer is the real question.
He won't
@longlin1024 The note 10+ gets quarterly security updates currently but will end this year sometime I think. The note 10 lite still gets monthly security updates
@95thRiflesOCI the Note 10+ also has a 700 mAh smaller battery, and the S23Ultra has a faster clocked CPU so I think that it ends up balancing out. You're getting similar battery life on a device that has much newer, faster, and more capable technology.
So glad you covererd the part about sticking the SIM card removal tool into the microphone because I did exactly that and thought I had messed up the microphone. I started pushing hard because the tray wasn't popping out, LOL. Glad an engineer thought about that!
Giggity
Me too so glad, I peed my pants, it
I would have googled for the correct hole, just to be safe. Love my s23u. Big jump from my S10e.
It's not that difficult lmao
@@jakefriesenjake Using S8 since 6 years. Imagine the jump for me from S8 to S23 ultra. Can't wait.
Fantastic work. Great to see the detail.
5:41 That's what she said.
That's crazy 😧
Gosh!😂 I farted
Despite the same design as the previous generation, Samsung has finally improved their Ultra so much on the internals. It's commendable! 👍🏽
same, this is definitely their ultimate phone. but i also kinda find it funny how some fans are now praising Samsung for what apple has been doing and been hated for
Shame there shipping out with that screen defect people are noticing
@@benjiize it seems to be locked to certain regions? And the issue isn't really a defect as it doesn't affect usage or longevity of the phone. I been to best buys and mobile shops in canada and haven't seen the issue at any corners of the phone. It really aint that big of a deal lol unlike the note 7 fiasco
@@addedpole well the thing is apple has been doing it for like 4-5 years now, samsung has repeated their design only 1 time so I guess people aren’t that angry yet, if they repeat the design next year and even the year after then things might change
Apple is better this phone is trash
Oh great video. I own one of these abd seeing a replaceable battery back in their phones is amazing news!
dude your voice had me hooked and I had to watch twice! great tear down!
S23 ultra also has a maintenance mode so when you get it repaired, the repair man can get access to everything he needs without being in your phone
That's not just a s23 Ultra thing, it's a OneUI 5.1 thing. The update rolled out to my s21 Ultra 2 days ago and I saw that feature
Didn't know about that feature, thanks a lot it's amazing
@@MG-zx8jn still, makes repairability easier
Its a great feature but when I sent my phone in samsung still factory reset it. 😑
@@conradbreitfeller3841 Agreed, but for those that don't have the s23 but will still get the OneUI 5.1 update, this is nice to know
It's amazing how a phone is now a super computer compared to old standards. Really impressive what they can fit in there. Loving my s23 ultra as well
Zack called the Note 9 a "water resistant laptop in your pocket" and he wasn't wrong. The difference is the Note 9 didn't have the most amazing software and the market hadn't become quite as good yet and I could tell. With the S22 Ultra it really feels like we're in the age of peak smartphone. The hardware is so rock solid, the improvements are now gonna be related mostly to AI.
Nokia 3310- Smartphones r my bitch
Anything from the note 10 and up is good 12gb ram 4k 1tb internal and with the 23ult you get that sweet 200mp cam action
Sir please help My sumsung galaxy s23 I accidentally poked sim ejactor with pressure on microphone hole does it damage waterproof or microphone please help
@@Raj-bu2xv No it doesn't. Zack tested it on a previous teardown. You're fine don't worry
6:12 I have been searching for this piece of information for long time. thanks a million.
You deserve more Sir!!!! Your work is way above the subs you have.
Your amazing commentary never gets old! Thank you so much for your videos.
Excellent device, excellent teardown! Thank you🙏 Zach!
Thank you for this video! I did exactly that with the SIM card tool, and thought I destroyed my microphone. Glad to know that it's designed in such a way to prevent that. Very cool to also see the inner workings of my new phone, and to know that in a few years, battery replacement will be realistic.
Thanks for these man you make understanding the internals of phones very easy.
Amazing tear down. They really do a great job keeping things simple in there.
I have waited for this for the past three years since I started watching Jerry's channel.. Samsung are growing 💗❤️
amazing to see you are still Rocking the Note 10+ they are pretty bad ass phones and have lasted well. I too are in that camp and will upgrade to the S23 ultra
my man, u have no bullshit intro no 10 min long sponsor thingy just straight to the video and thats it, this is why we love you
Even it hurts while it tears down one by one. I accept that this is tear down video. I love it and very knowledgable! Greetings from philippines❤️❤️❤️
This is the exact variant that I have, Jerry! This hurts me to see it torn down. But I'm glad you're the one doing it!
Whoa, that demonstration where the sim and mic hole was placed relieved my worries, poked the wrong hole but you remove that worries. Thank you.
Love it keep it coming 😊
I loved to see the tear down test for the Samsung S23 Ultra, I’ve been waiting for this so I can view its overall durability and its material and as well
3:52 . Thanks to our buddy tesla the inventor one not the Twitter one 😂😂😂
The front camera is definitly not permanently glued bro. I work at a repair shop and change s23 ultra screen every week and i can assure its not
I love the clear back to see inside your phone
Its so cool to see what my phone looks like from the inside. I already preordered my dbrand case before the teardown version was availeable. Good to know that I can easily replace the battery if needed.
Samsung 🔋 battery swell over time. Internet already covered this last year.
@@fynkozari9271 yes, i also saw this in a video by mrwhostheboss. but it only happened with phones he hasn't used in a long time and are gathering dust on a shelf. it's probably problematic for users who always have a second old samsung smartphone at home as a backup solution. i'm still using a 5 year old s9+ and aside from 5 years of daily use, i don't have any excessive wear or a swollen battery. the s9 series was also affected by this issue in his video. EDIT: my galaxy s5 also had a swollen battery a few years after it was replaced by my s9, but it's battery was easily replaceable
@@fynkozari9271 That's for old Samsung phones
It makes me a little jealous and angry, I had my samsung S22U damaged and during the repair I damaged the battery by putting too much force on it trying to remove it.
Make sure you use that plastic dbrand for ever, so it doesn’t end up in the ocean
That battery pull was outstanding!
Me watching jerry destroy phones worth 1000s of dollar while having no money :
It makes me a little jealous and angry, I had my samsung S22U damaged and during the repair I damaged the battery by putting too much force on it trying to remove it. It's as if they have heard my displeasure haha.
Pull out is the best advice
I know, it was so awesome, I called all my friends and family and told them all about it.
@@Computment u got money lier
The sim card tool mistake is what made me search this video out. Thank you for some peace of mind.
Everyone has been waiting on Zack's review of this particular phone. And it was awesome! Finally an easily replaceable battery, although I'm still on my Samsung Galaxy S7. I definitely will be getting the dbrand cover case as my old S7 has never had a case nor a screen cover. And it still works fine. Just out of memory and keep losing apps as the system is so old so it doesn't support them. Thanks Zack for an awesome teardown, review, and useful information. Now to get my dbrand case first. Again an awesome teardown and review!
I stayed up Refreshing KZhead so I could be The first one to watch it
Hey! As always, you deliver those superb teardown videos......kudos!!
💯❤️💯❤️
Awesome, as always. One of the few youtubers who hasn't changed over the years. Keep it up
Once, I accidentally slipped the sim remover into the mic and i was scared because I thought I had ruin the mic. I immediately ran a diagnostic and realised the mic still works fine, I was like how is it even possible but now I understand why. Well done Zack, you're doing a great job.
Did you push the tool all the way in? I did and now I'm scared I broke something or the water proofing got damaged
@@santcoin4031Yes I pushed all the way in and applied pressure so as to pull out the sim tray. I realised it was in the wrong hole when the sim tray wasn't coming out and fortunately nothing got damaged. Your phone should be fine, there's absolutely nothing to be scared about.
6:00 omg thanks, you saved my mind 💪
Nicely engineered phone. I’ve recently gotten into electronics repair and can’t even begin to imagine how the chips and pcbs were thought of in the first place. Really amazing
The price is also amazing. Don't worry I'm not one of those dumb shills who paid thousands $ for a phone. $340 for 120hz 10bit 12gb 256gb 65watt 8T.
2:07 : "and there you have it *lady* and gentlemen" comedy gold
Nice catch.
I have seen many videos of jerry but never subscribed to his channel, i think he never asks to. But the sub pun had me cracking. I subscribed right there!
Very nice video and a lot of great explication about the phone construction..
5:35 got my S23 Ultra two days ago and made that mistake. You restored my peace of mind about my phone's future. Thanks Zack
Wow, I was guessing it was going to be the battery surprise and was not disappointed. Awesome video as usual 🙂👍
Thank you Jerry for your explanation. I accidentally poke the mic hole and worried about it
Just bought the s23 Ultra a couple weeks back. Pre-ordered it from Verizon. Everyday I come across more reasons to be thrilled with my purchase. Thanks for making my day!
2:20 pull out had me cracking lmao 😂😂
Some parts on this video are so funny hahah
Come in😅
Another awesome tear down! Thanks Zack
Really enjoyed the video informative and interesting 👍 love the s23 ultra the cameras are way cool 😎 👍
Love the new tech beside Zacks vintage Casio watch
very very well said jerry ... i accidentally put in my sim ejector tool in my microphone and i was worried about losing my ip68 rating ..... thanks for clearing my doubt 👌👌👌👌👌👍
Same here I also worried about mic..
@@isaac.genesis lolz its frustrating... well in future we will keep it in mind 😅
@@ShivamTiwari-ce1xq yea 😅😅
@@ShivamTiwari-ce1xq but Zack already did a video before specifically about this topic of what happens when you poke the wrong hole. He demonstrated with an iphone and Samsung and proved that nothing will happen. U can search for that test he did
@@ShivamTiwari-ce1xq dude the microphone is L shaped
One thing is for sure, all phone makers are trying so hard not to embarrass in front of Jerry in terms of durability and internal component layouts and it is good for us as consumers. Good job bro
Do they even know a youtuber named Jerry? Lol, I'm also his fan, but don't act like that companies improve their products after watching his videos. Lol
@@lol311 so what, do I need your opinion here?
@@htarwayamin Yes, this is the opinion you didn't ask for, but actually needed.
@@lol311 You are not simple man, you are twisted actually LOL
I don’t think phone makers give 2 shits about this hack
Man that f 91-W looks awesome and minimal Love your videos ❤️
Thanks Mr Jerry Rig you're the best ..one of the technology kig for us ..Namest from Nepal 🇳🇵 ♥️
Would love to see the durability and teardown for the other S23s too, especially to see if they have removable battery too.
I'm also interested in the plus model
4:02 The vibration motor isn't in the earpiece, it's sharing the same housing as the bottom speaker, just like it was on the S22 Ultra.
Just got my hands on an s23 ultra today coming from an s10e. Such a huge jump its crazy, ive never owned a flagship before and it definitely feels every bit of expensive and premium.
I like how you add a touch of humor in your videos.
For everyone it's the features and the camera that impressed the most Zack : hold my pulltab
💯💯❤️❤️
Who’s Jack?
@@CupCatsss Zack
@@SUPREETH. Well why didn’t you just say so?
@@CupCatsss read it again mate
The simplicity of tearing down this phone and putting it back together blew me away. Usually Jerry tears the phone down to the point where the phone becomes worthless because the manufacturer of the phone doesn't want you tearing it apart so you wind up destroying the phone in the process of tearing it apart. Awesome job Samsung, finally a phone worthy of owning.
Nice Work Samsung ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ And Amezing Teardown Jarry Sir❤️
This is the type of video that Samsung should have on their website illustrating the detail that went into the Galaxy s23 Ultra. Great Video, must watch till the end.
3:28 Anyone else thought that sounded satisfying? No? Just me?
❤😊 like your voice and the experience
Great info cheers
I'm really liking how much slower the battery drains on the S23 Ultra when the phone is just idling. It's a big improvement over the S22U
Kudos to Samsung for making major improvements in the repairability department. Between the 4 years of software updates and easy to replace internals, this might well be the best long-term smartphone purchase you can make.
because your SUB joke is so smooth, I subscribed
This is the first time I've seen Mr. Clean with a smooth silky voice, great humor and smooth tech skills of a master cat burglar tear apart something smaller than a lap top with relative ease. Good job man🤙
The pull out joke was golden Zack!!
Watching this on my S23 ULTRA (I think I hear it whimpering) but I gotta say this has been my favorite smartphone from the past 5+ years. Nothing but positive things to say from the cameras to the performance to the display and even the battery life....is just top-notch quality. GG Samsung
How much use your s pen is getting?
@@kitten_with_bad_breath idk if you're memeing but this is the first phone I've had with an S pen and I'm using it daily from playing games to taking pictures, taking quick notes, or even regular use when I don't want to get the screen dirty. Even I didn't think I would use it this much.
I actually did that sim card hole error, thank you for reassuring me I didn't damage it!
Your videos are excellent. I would love to see more considerations about oxidation resistance, whether they use gold or copper to coat the electronics.
"A good chunk of people who accidentally have slipped into the wrong hole" I can relate
It happens
yeah sorry bout that
everything kinda went downhill from there onwards
@@aminuumar8517 you can say that it was a shitty experience
1:32 😂😂 like our grand parents face to face
Great work.
Excellent presentation.
"Two slab of glass and enough glue to survive the singularity of a black hole"..... Poetic😂
The only thing missing is the micro sd expansion slot. Samsung, come on you can do it! It can't add that much to the cost of a $1k+ phone. I have a 1tb card in my (still kicking hard) 512gb note 9 😎
Yes I think I can now be a phone repair man.. thanx bro
Years ago my cousin used the SIM remover tool in the wrong hole on a tablet he owned. It was the battery vent hole. Fortunately, the battery didn't burst into flames but it did get really hot and swell up to show it's displeasure over being violated like that.
Today in another episode of "THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED"
@@ricardoaugusto597 gotta love the Internet. A place where people can say whatever they want, with almost no fear of repercussion.
4:09 .. Definitely Red.
2:49 Samsung's pull-out game is amazing!
Thanks a lot ❤
Loving the commentary 😂
I am simply amazed how they manufacture things like this over billions units. More amazing is how others make the equipments to produce such.
That removable battery was absolutely beautiful
Well it's very great when I see your teardown videos it's very knowledgeable but sometimes you teardown the phone which is my dream phone but you have so you can afford it and tear it down i don't have money to buy s23 ultra so Jerry can you something here !
1:59 Finally someone explained this! Thank you.
It’s great to see Samsung making an effort to make battery replacements easier
You are that twitter meme guy
What the helllllllll is yo name?!?!
wow 😮, so your in youtube too huh 😆
Thanks for clearing this doubt 05:26. I did this accidentally on my friend's dad's phone. Thought I broke the water proofing. Glad nothing is hurt 😄.
❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯
You had me at the first half, not gonna lie
So you put it in the wrong hole too? Don't worry. If you pulled out nice. There's no damage
Bro put it in the wrong hole
@@White742 🤣🤣🤣
Cool video as always! loved it. I passed on the the S23 Ultra and will wait for the S24 ultra. Still with my Note 10 plus...
Dang! I like new battery pull tab!
Upgraded from an s21 ultra to the 23ultra and the thing im most impressed with is the battery life. It wasnt a big Upgrade but my provider gave me 800 for my old phone so it was a good deal
thanks for explaning the fact that if anyone by mistake put the sim card ejecter pin into microphone it doesnot damage anything.
Having just bought the S23 Ultra, I really enjoyed this teardown. BTW, I thought the gasket around the earpiece/speaker was red.
"Thanks to our buddy tesla the inventor one not the twitter one" got me tho 😆😂😆
2:00 best🤣
