Samsung Galaxy S25+ Teardown: Enhancements and Insights
The recent teardown of the Samsung Galaxy S25+ appears to mirror previous models, indicating that there hasn’t been any drastic alteration in its internal architecture. However, the device does come with a few notable upgrades.
Innovative Battery Attachment Method
One significant advancement is the introduction of a pull pouch designed to secure the battery. This new feature builds on earlier pull tabs but offers an enhanced removal experience. According to PBKreviews, which specializes in smartphone disassembly, this updated pouch facilitates easier extraction compared to its counterpart in the Galaxy S24+
Enhanced Cooling Features
With the battery removed, another important enhancement becomes visible—the vapor chamber has been increased in size. While Samsung claims that the vapor chamber in the Galaxy S25 Ultra has expanded by 40% since its predecessor, specific measurements for the Plus model remain unclear; it is nevertheless evident that it is noticeably larger.

Performance Under Pressure
This week we aim to evaluate how well the Samsung Galaxy S25+ holds up under prolonged use. If you’ve had a chance to look through our review of the Kingpin—Galaxy S25 Ultra—you may be aware that maintaining consistent performance presented certain challenges despite a larger vapor chamber in place. Given that both devices utilize Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor, we anticipate similar performance outcomes for sustained tasks.
A Look at Repairability Ratings
The teardown video itself reinforces these insights; although replacing batteries has become simpler due to improved design features like as pouch removal mechanisms, overall repairability still garners a score of 9 out of 10—on par with what was awarded for its predecessor—because some concerns linger regarding user-friendliness when swapping out screens or repairing other components.
