The iFixit team.com carried out a detailed disassembly of the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus, assessing the complexity of the process and finding out what is hidden inside the device. Specialists liked the fact that many components are modular and can be replaced independently of each other. Among the disadvantages noted were the difficulty of accessing the battery and the time-consuming process of replacing the display.
While disassembling, the iFixit team took a closer look at the 12-megapixel optically stabilized 2x zoom camera module. The dual camera is designed as a single unit on a single PCB with a single connector. DRAM chips were found inside, responsible for super-slow-motion shooting at 960 frames per second.
It also turned out that the main camera aperture has a simple design, consisting of two ring-shaped blades that switch between F1.5 for low-light shooting and F2.4 in other situations. The Galaxy S9 Plus ended up with a fairly low repairability rating of 4 out of a possible 10.
