Though Samsung has made the Galaxy S21 easy to teardown, previous evidence revealed the company was locking down third-party repairs for other models. Looking at that evidence, one would assume that Samsung follows the same suit with its latest flagship line, but you’d be surprised. A new video shows that it’s easy to swap out components between two Galaxy S21 models without running into problems.

Hugh Jeffreys has a YouTube channel with a wide audience that he’s garnered because of his ability to take apart smartphones, piece them back together and perform restoration videos. On this occasion, he wanted to find out if he’d run into the same problems earlier exhibited when he swapped out the fingerprint readers on two Galaxy A51 models. However, a separate video revealed that the fingerprint reader on the Galaxy S21 is glued into place and isn’t user-replaceable.
