For anyone who is worried about the S24 Ultra speaker mesh filter, you can check my X/Twitter post with pictures of the mesh filter. Some people were worried about the mesh filter looking damaged when holding a flash light into the opening of the bottom speaker in the frame. It's not damaged and its just "domed" or in a dome shape fitted into the speaker opening in the frame of the phone. x.com/PBKreviews/status/1753223290913423458?s=20
Hi what about bottom mic ... I accidenly poked it with a sim ejector tool which is thinner than samsungs... should I worry about water resistance capability???
Thanks for the clarification about the speaker mesh... I was worried about that... 😊😊😊
Hi, you will be fine, the mic and filter are seated above the hole and won't be damaged.
👍
Thank you so much for the last comment regarding puncturing the hole next to the sim card. I came here just for that reason. Who would design a hole not meant to be punctured next to a hole needed to be punctured in order to get the sim card out. 🤦
I just Pre-ordered mine... coming from a S10 it will be a nice upgrade.. It's incredible how much tech is built into these phones.
👍
True ...as it needs 5 years or more to actually feel the upgrade when it comes to smartphones !
same here, my S10+ is still holding decently well but it's finally time!
Just got mine and I'm coming from the note 10+
Same. Just got a notification mine will be here Tuesday. Yay.

You seriously don't get the support needed for this kind of high quality videos , keep going ❤🙌
Thank you :)
It's amazing having seen the genesis of transistor electronics from the 50's all the way to now. In the 60's as a kid I used to take almost everything apart. (Broke a fair share of stuff). Thank overseas for making things as tiny as possible, and getting smaller and smaller. I always appreciate someone showing how to do these procedures correctly. I miss the days when you could unscrew the back vs. using a heat gun or hairdryer to pry things open.
👍
As a tech lover who loves repairing my own tech, I am happy Samsung made the S24 ultra the most repairable phone I ever seen. The phone is mostly modular so you can replace the USB-C connector or the sim card reader easily. As someone who knows how hard it is to safely remove iPhone batteries, I am happy the battery on the S24U is very easily to replace. Great job Samsung. Great video PBK.
Thank you
Where do you go to order specific parts?
Same replacing a battery in a OnePlus 9 pro and then gonna try and fix my s24 ultra my dumb self left on the roof of the car it made it down the interstate a little ways before it ended in the slow lane and I can only assume it got ran over minimum of 1 but up to 5 maybe 10. Times frames straight but back glass and screen are cooked
iPhone 16 pro max…
Wow, I really appreciate the author sacrificing his phone to unlock the S24U. This is an incredible thing! I am really touched. Great, thanks again to the author!👍
You're welcome :)
For some reason, I don't feel sorry for Samsung, but when they disassemble the iPhone, it's a pity...
I just need to replace the back shell. Thank you so much for being directly thorough! Finally a person who teaches to the point, without all the added negative spewing intro! Very direct! Very to the point! Easy to comprehend! Easy to follow! I had my how to need answered plus more! Absolutely fantastic video! 🎉
Wow. The size of vapor chamber is really big. Awesome.
👍
Yeah but it's stainless steel instead of copper this year/cheaper to manufacture
@@hotsauce6310are you sure its steel and not aluminum?
One plus 12 cooling vapor chamber way alot better ..😂
@@hotsauce6310 google says that steel is better 🤷♂️
Most excellent video! I got my S24 Ultra a little over a month ago. I got it a few days before going on vacation. I ended up dropping the phone while on vacation and shattering the screen. This video helped me replace the whole screen/digitizer assembly. Very well done!
you actually get it done before Jerry, legend!
👍
Jerry sucks
Jerry really isnt that good.
exactly i was waiting for Jerry who just said the oneplus 12s vapour chambere is the biggest ever, MOVE OVER JERRY theres a new DON in town its the S24 ULTRA BABY
I actually searched Jerry and got this....💀☠️
When you pulled out the multi layered circuit board i was amazed! I never watch teardowns of phones until i got my s24 ultra because its so light and powerful!
👍
Wow. Always the first teardown video in the world. Thanks for your videos ❤.
Thanks, you're welcome
Good to see someone is ready to make a teardown video ASAP while everyone else takes their sweet time. Great video!
because not a lot of people tear smartphones down or have the funds to buy a smartphone to tear it down.
@harryvuemedia5106 you know who im talking about. The people who normally do teardowns are slow to make videos. And theres a lot of youtubers who dont normally do teardowns who could definitely afford it.
@@texasblaze1016 If youtube isn't their full time job, then of course they're going to take longer to make videos. I mean if their full-time job is youtube and they have a video editor, then pretty sure their videos would have been out the same day as samsung releasing their S24. Not as easy as you think it is as people do have life outside of youtube.
@harryvuemedia5106 are you trying to say YT is PBK's full time job? I doubt that when he only has 136K subscribers and not enough views or videos to pay for one demo. Hes beating jerryrigeverything, ifixit, techrax and multiple other channels who normally show the same content with tens of millions of subscribers at equal quality. So understand im not saying every day random citizens should be picking up an S24 ultra and tear it down but the usual channels who you haven't got any clue about should be jumping on videos like this without a several weeks delay
@@texasblaze1016 dude, what im saying is that everyone has lives outside of youtube. You act like all those people you mentioned just sit at their desk with all the free time in the world. You act like Jerry only does smartphone teardown and nothing else. Oh wait, he has a family too so who the heck is going to watch his kids? You?
Your channel shows a lot of video games so I do wonder if you even have a life outside of it? Like a family? Full time job? Activities? Hobbies? Or anything else? Sheesh, who cares how fast or long it takes someone to release their videos, focus on yourself and stop complaining. People have lives outside of youtube too.
Glad to know I didn't tear the microphone seal with my sim ejector tool. Thanks for considering those little details.
No problem :)
I did the same thing with my s23 ultra I just got myself for Christmas. I was freaking out I punched a hole in the microphone assembly. Alot different from an s9+.
PBK.. Is a genius person
Thanks :)
Thanks for the exclusive as always! I hope the next one is the S24+!
You're welcome. Not sure yet if it will be the 24 or 24+ first.
Good to see that the phone is repairable without major issues, well done sir.
Thank you
Great to know that the battery isn't so difficult to remove and replace. For anyone that still wants to keep their S24 Ultra for up to 10 years, definitely be worth it to replace the battery after 5 years of usage. As long as Samsung keeps making the same battery size for the next S25, S26, S27 and S28, then we won't have to worry about finding the right battery. You would just have to pay $200 usd for someone to professionally replace that battery.
👍
just trade the phone to samsung after 2 years for s26 preorder and get $1000 for it and use new one
@@physics77guy Most underrated comment of the century
With Samsung batteries, if done at a certified service center the pricing stays the same for years. Just last week the pricing increased across the board for repairs. So batteries went from $87.99 in the US (uBreakiFix) to around $96. Samsung will never use the same parts between generations due to "safety" reasons.
@@physics77guy No, i doubt I'll get $1,000 usd for my used S22 ultra. Could be like $700 which isn't so bad too. But at the same time, I'm going to keep it and use it as my smartphone LIVE camera. I'll just replace the battery and get a S27+.
SAMSUNGは本当に凄い。日本は技術力が乏しいので、こんな素晴らしいスマートフォンを、日本で作ることは出来ない。
You are absolutely crazy ! I love to see the inside of the phone I just ordered. I hope you will be able to put all parts back together.
👍
شكرا.ً شكرا.ً جزيلاً لك لقد بذلت جهداً كبيراً وعرفنا ما يحتويه الجهاز من الداخل❤❤❤❤❤❤
You're welcome
Man that's a beautiful piece of technology....can't wait till tomorrow!
I remember we used to have to read these books that took up entire bookcases just to look something up.
Encyclopedias lmao!
Now we have full computer gaming system. In our POCKET.
AMAZING
You've always been my hero when it comes to phone disassembly and problem solving at my mobile phone repair workshop
👍
I replaced the screen on my note9 last December learning from these guys, now I got my s24 ultra. Thanks again PBK.
You're welcome :)
Наконец-то!!! Я ждал этого видео больше чем презенции Galaxy Unpacked 😅
Спасибо за подробную информацию, но мне не хватило сведений о вибромоторчике.
In did my russian friend 😁👍
You're welcome. Yeah, it was in the speaker housing so I didn't want to break the speaker to show it since I plan on repairing this phone when the screen is available.
шикарное устройство! одно удовольствие его разбирать.
Bro left no crumbs with this teardown, end to end too. 🔥
😀👍
Periscope camera: Samsung has put the first lens element in front of the prism, which can increase the size of the front element, which in turn should (in theory) increase (smaller f-number) the maximum aperture of the lens. (Even though this camera has a smaller aperture than Google Pixel 8 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max). Huawei also uses this trick with the P60 Pro / Art periscope camera, but Huawei has a second prism for a larger camera sensor.
You deserve a subscribe. Amazing. The good thing is that you show it in real-time, not time-lapse, and of done things. the only thing that moved quickly was screws which is understandable
Thanks!
Great video as always! looks like Samsung made some minor improvements to the inner component layout and heat distribution.
But it's not like the S23 had any problems with heat...
Thanks
Its a matter of perspective because my s23 ultra was getting hot out the box until Samsung pushed out some updates.@@daidalos1508
Thanks for the teardown! I have an S24 ultra in yellow and will arrive next week! 👍
You're welcome :)
12:21 omg omg you a life saver!!! I accidentally punched the mic instead of the sim card hole... i was so worried! You are a cyber angel!
👍
You definitely deserve more subscribers man!
Great job I like your videos somuch!
Thanks! glad you enjoy them!
Man, you just relieved so much stress. I wasn't paying attention, and I pushed the sim tool into the bottom microphone hole. I'm glad to hear that you can't do any damage from doing that. Phew! Thanks
👍 glad I could help
It looks like samsung actually used titanium for the frame rather than apples £2.00 worth of Ti on the outside edge.
my sPen broke and the tip is stuck inside, is it possible to open the housing for it or the whole thing needs to be replaced? Is it even removable? You kinda missed that completely.
First teardown of s24 ultra n first to watch ❤❤
What material is the internal chassis made of?
Apparently the thermal headroom for the ultra is lower than last year and s24/s24+ exynos chips, 44c vs 46c. This means performance is being throttled unless samsung increases headroom to 46c. Idk why they did this but in hot countries it may limit chip a lot in performance area.
It's Note 7 flashback, that's why
Didn't they say the vapor changer was like 1.6x bigger?
@@NunoFilipe99 yes its bigger and s24+ is also bigger but samsung artificially limits thermals to throttle at 44c, used to be 46c. So performance is being held back (sd should be even faster). Only for ultra, exynos variants of s24+ is 46c, dont know about sd version of s24+
@@farhank8297 samsung has a really hard time with processors -.-
@@NunoFilipe99 stop writing BS. I have a PhD in IT and you just talk nonsense....
Just discovered your channel - very nice work, PBK!
I have an S9 that has bit the dust. Searching, it seems that likely the OLED screen is kaput. It died suddenly. I almost got it working by shining a bright light at the top of the phone, but it didn't last long enough for me to change the screen settings. Spent so much time to see if I could revive it. So, I've decided to order the S24 Ultra and will be arriving in a few hours.
Thank you for putting together this video - was interesting to see what's inside.
Thanks!
Watching this on a s24 ultra titanium grey🙃
👍
When I saw my dream phone in pieces, I felt sad. We cannot buy it in Turkey because it is very expensive.
😥
He just killed the screen
I screamed internally
Yup :(
Dude needs to go to repair school
@@laptech3767 It is not noticeable that the video tries to repair the screen, knowing that it is much better and cheaper to buy the screen and the new chassis .
Nooooooooooooooo
Job well done , clear and detailed demonstration. ...you earned my sub ...!!!!
Thanks!
Hi
While changing a part in the S24 Ultra, I noticed that the top speaker makes a sound like there is, well, sand in there. I made a video and shook the phone and it picked up the sound, but you do have to shake it a fair bit for the sound to happen.
I bought the speaker part again, thinking it was faulty (they are fairly cheap) expecting the new one not to make a noise, yet when I shook it, it made the same sound.
Is this the same for all of them? What is in them that causes that sound?
Puedes probar si la pantala funciona todavía porfa me quede con la curiosidad por que se despego totalmente 😢
No funciona, el dijo que se iba a echar a perder porque era muy difícil de despegar.
Screen doesn't work after. If replacing a broken screen, you have no issues since your replacing it so you won't care to pry it off and damage it further.
Thank you. Was looking for this. Here you got a subscription for the high quality videos.
Thank you
Awesome❤❤
Very well done component teardown :) Thank you so much!
You're welcome, and thanks.
That's a small motherboard😮
yup
Educational and detailed video, thank you PBKreviews. I'm watching this because the Sinjimoru Grip accessory i have for the S24 U failed and it caused my new phone to drop 5 feet on to asphalt (with rubber case and screen protector on) and it made me wonder if i could've damaged any parts inside. Do you think this kind of drop could damage any parts? Luckily there's no noticeable screen damage. i heard the most easily damaged part is the screen/camera lens, so if i can't see the damage, there is no "underlying" damages from these kind of drops if i'm correct.
No you should be fine, there shouldn't be any internal damage. They are built to handle drops.
lol, did samsung really use plastic to bind titanium outer frame to the aluminum inner frame?
thats what apple did too
this whole titanium gimmick really sucked bring back aluminum
@@hachiko2692 nope apple bonded aluminum directly with the titanium outer frame, theres only a little bit of plastic on the bottom where the charging port is. Oh boy does that bond hold well, just happened to have watched Hugh Jeffreys video on a broken iphone restoration. The frame was broken, the only places where it broke was the antenna lines on the plastic part of the frame, that really goes to show how good of a job they have done. Antenna lines are a weak spot even for single-piece aluminum milled frames.
@@hachiko2692 i personally prefer titanium, it feels more premium in the hand due to its matte finish, and i always prefferred matte over glossy finishes.
I just got mine this week and love this teardown video thanks! I was wondering if you have any pics from this teardown that are usable as a wallpaper? Much appreciated!
Truly amazing engineering to make all those little parts fit together so compactly! But replacing the battery looks harder than I think it should be, or I could just buy a new phone every 2 years. Oh, I see . . . brilliant of you Samsung!
How do I know the microphone hole and the microphone is secondary if I put the SIM pin in the microphone hole it is not affected🤔🤔🤔
Very informative video thank you so much this thing is a beast so much into this small space
You're welcome!
This is 1 TB or 512 Gb ??? Please show storage place inside and open both phone , show 1 tb looking inside and how 512 gb looking inside , please reply my comment. Which one i should buy
UFS storage is binned together with the chipset and RAM
Great video! saving this for years down the line when i need to change out the charger port or the battery from normal wear
Thanks!
Looks like they've thought almost everything through. Very well built phones
👍
Will the speaker mesh get damage if i brush it to clean it?
After you open the phone, how do you glue it back so the waterproofing remains the same as factory? I need to take my s24 ultra to service to warranty replace one of the cameras or maybe the whole setup of cameras because I have rattle even when I record a video and I can hear the rattle in the background and some buzzing when turning the phone to the upper right . Thank you
Great video, also thank you for explaining the components.
Thank you, and you're welcome.
Hi, a question. Can we then say that this phone has 2 speakers that function as stereo? Or is the top speaker used for calls? I didn't understand that part.
oooh thank you very much!!
I feared having pierced the microphone thanks to your tutorial I am reassured!!!
hello@PBKreviews could you confirm after taking apart the phone that without the sim tray inserted, or fully inserted that the phone is still IP68 capable? Or would you conclude the sim tray is absolutely needs to be inserted properly to be IP68 qualifed
Wonder when apple will invent the graphene, Samsung and other manufacturers are using it for few years now, so apple will be last - as always, but when? Probably when they will be out of arguments for raising prices.
Great video!
Thanks 👍
@n8n8n8n the battery here is a lithium ion, clearly written on the battery. Why do people insist on spewing garbage from their mouth?
@@RolandKoller90 Read again my comment.
Hey nice vid, is the power button removable? I mean if i remove it would it still be working the same? I feel like mine got some dust stuck within it so it feels kinda mushy, want to try and remove it to clean
You probably push too hard and smashed/crack the little silicon pad on the button, many phone have this to reduce the click noise, but unfortunately it will either get damage or rot itself over the years, until the button starts to shake and fell out
You have warranty, just send for replacement or wait till it almost end then send for repair and get a new screen + frame + battery (my local service centre replace the battery previously)
CS: your battery very weak right?
Me: yeah very weak
Amazing guy! I have a S23ULTRA, I've always been curious to know what it's like inside and in this incredible video you show everything, that's an incredible video! Excellent even for sharing! 👏👏💎
Thanks :)
What minute of the video do you see the 4G and 4.5G antennas? please
Thanks so much for great video! Amazing job!👍👍
You're welcome, and thanks!
Ive only had the phone for around 2 months and the charging port continues to detect water you think i should attempt to replace it? I have all the tools and have taken phones apart before but is the port the issue
So much brave-hearted man😮
👍
upgraded from Samsung Note 9 to S24 Ultra. So far great experience ... 💖
👍
Please reply.
Is ultra wide band really affect internet connection, s24 vs plus or ultra
If it is then how just little explain that makes purchasing point thanks .
From your experience after disassembling so many phones witch brand has the best build or the better build quality? Thanks!
hmm not sure, I would probably say samsung, xiaomi and apple would be the top 3
@@PBKreviewsdo you had disassembled Honor phones? Exspececialy their flagship ones?
@@PBKreviews its not huawei mate 60 pro? since i watch your drop test on that tank of a phone 🤣
in that specific order? :)@@PBKreviews
Nice video! Did you heat the screen before taking the glass?
yeah, I applied enough heat that the glass was separating from the screen but the screen wasn't peeling from the frame :) The way they adhere the back of the screen to the frame now since there is no room to adhere mainly the glass due to the very thin bezel/frame makes it pretty much impossible to pry off a working screen and not damage it. Thanks :)
does this version also have the mic phone at 90 degrees from the entry hole? I accidentally poke it with the SIM card ejection tool hehe. I have read that the 90 degree design helps to prevent damage and also that the water resistance is not compromised
Great work. Really loving the videos. If I'm gathering correctly, a new screen replacement can be done without special parts (e.g. the S23 Ultra)? I ran into an issue where my US purchased S23 Ultra was unable to be repaired in another country, as the screen also included the antennas and could not be purchased in that country at all. This looks like a significant redesign from previous.
I don't see why the S23 ultra can't be repaired, all the screens are the same, unless you are getting a screen with frame combo, which yeah some frames may or may not have the mmwave antenna. But still you can always order the correct part to replace. Thanks :)
Excellent teardown!!! thank you so much for this video
Glad you liked it!
I live in Kenya, i would like one of those....that is a luxury in Kenya
PBK my favorite teardown channel!
😀👍
Been waiting for this video ❤❤❤
👍
Can you buy new adhesive? I'm asking because i would like to remove the back of the phone and strip the paint for a clear cover. Thanks, great video!
yes, It's not available online to purchase yet, but eventually the adhesive for the back cover will become available on ebay and other places. Also it's not paint, its a laminate later than can be peeled off by hand. Thank you :)
Which looks like a gray magnesium structural frame is all one piece of titanium or just the outer edge is titanium?
Great video ! S22 Ultra , S23 Ultra and S24 Ultra pretty much the same hahaha. At least nothing is software lock like someone else always do.
Thanks!
Bro you deserve a billion views at least .
Really i am not joking because you destroy a phone for us
And well explain
Thanks!
What about the sim pin tool in the microphone hole can it damage the seal or something, i just did that , The tool had resistance then i pushed harder it felt like gone true something and went deeper?
I mentioned and showed in the video. You will be fine. The filter and mic are seated above the hole.
Is it possible to replace the volume button without disassembling the phone?
Thank you bro good information thank you one again 👍👌
👍 You're welcome
thank you for the video, I see that they changed the place for the microphone, if we mess up when we insert the sim card we won't damage the microphone?
Sincerely
Excellent video really needed to see all doubts are cleared thanks a lot and is the display finished now 😅?
Thanks! Yup, display is a goner :)
8:16 Do you really have to take it all apart every time you want to take out the s pen? ;D
lol
A great video. Samsung has great build quality.
Thank you
Thank you for making this awesome video!
You're welcome
Thanks a lot for such a detailed video in a very short span of time.
Is the bottom speaker module really improved when compared to S23 Ultra?
You're welcome. Not sure since the speaker is enclosed in the same type of plastic housing so didn't break it apart to know if there is a difference in the speaker inside.
Would you say the parts inside the phone are pretty durable and are well secured inside the phone? For example if you dropped the phone or the phone was shaken rigorously it wouldnt affect the internal parts/moving parts like camera lenses/optical image stabilisation sensors etc? You'd have a better idea since you open these phones up and look inside 😊 Just asking out of interest. S24Ultra owner here.
Do you heat the front and the back off camera or don't use a heater at all?
yes, I just don't show it on camera since people skip through it anyways and it's just a waste of footage.
Would like to see the difference with the S24U glass vs S23U when detached from the frame. Just to see the tint on it
I dont have a S23 Ultra screen on hand to check unfortunately
Thank you!
What is the name of the main camera sensor?
I have the exact same device, with the exact same colour, 512GB of storage, 12GB of RAM.
Which version has these 5G antenas?
The ones sold in the US have the mmWave antenna.
I think it doesn't matter with the storage options. It depends on what country it was distributed
