Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra improves repairability but still trails iPhone 16 Pro Max, scoring 5/10 on iFixit.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has improved repairability with an easily removable battery and modular camera system. However, it still faces challenges due to glued components and limited repair parts availability, earning a 5/10 repairability score from iFixit. Despite these improvements, the device lags behind the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which scored a 7/10 for easier repairs and better documentation. The Galaxy S25 Ultra's design changes reflect efforts to comply with Europe's right-to-repair laws, but more work is needed for full home-repairability.
