Since he doesn't tell at the end of the video someone has to do the maths please
Quick maths
I thought that was the point of the video.. WHERE IS THE PRICE!!
687.34$
As a Chinese, I'm glad you can come to Huaqiangbei in China,😀 Huaqiangbei is also a magical place in China, you can even buy all the mobile phones and accessories in the world in Huaqiangbei
, including mobile phones from ten or even twenty years ago, which is difficult to do anywhere in the world. But there are also many profiteers in it, I hope you can distinguish clearly.

@megat daniel android phones are easy, and iPhones have more parts but it is clear where stuff goes.
You don't need to take courses to assemble a smartphone. Just know where everything goes and don't be careless. It's not that hard as long as you're careful.
same and like how
Its crazy that this feels like something from a bygone era yet its only been 2 years. With the way things are going with parts pairing, soon all we'll be able to build are Galaxy and iPhone shaped paperweights!

Man builds an s9+ from scratch
Gets stumped by a lock screen
fast and easy to remove on pie 9 update or 8
Not really scratch. More like Man assembles a s9 plus. I was hoping he would buy a system on a chip and make a pcb and everything. There are projects on HackaDay where people actually do build phones from the ground up.
@@excitedbox5705 The video wouldn't be as interesting as it is now as he would have to do quite a bit of research and either put most of part numbers on the screen or just compare it all the time with some existing products (eg. "CPU the same as in pixel 3", "screen same as in galaxy S10", etc.) and finished product wouldn't look like a finished and assembled phone.
The lockscreen problem itself shows how unprepared he was for this video, but that's another story.
I think he went I to the bootloader to do it, which is something that not even most Android users know exist.
@@excitedbox5705 He actually wanted to do that when he first set out to assemble the first iPhone, but thought that it would be way too complicated. That's why he didn't even consider that in this project.
Just a little hint: it snaps together like a little Lego.

@@raihanislam912 that's a made up number. He didn't show the price of a couple things. Go and add it up yourself and it comes out to $150-$200
@Monty Python the Flying Circus If you're paying someone else to do it or you're planning on selling it then yes you do, but if you're doing it all yourself then why would you factor all that into your own final cost?
Here is what I found in the video:
Motherboard - ?
Screen - ?
Battery - $3.65
Case - ?
Front Camera (not sure) - $2.32
Back Camera (not sure) - $5
Screws - ?
Adhesive - ?
Antenna - $0.30
This comes down to about tree-fiddy.

The burning question
Alex Cook Good question. I had the same
I love that Samsung uses one type of screws for all components in their phones and even across different models. Makes repair a lot easier and the phone works just as good.
As a screw collector, I must say that it spoils the fun with just one type of screw. If I had to decide, each screw would be different.

@@Kekmit When you buy from iFixit you receive a tested part with a warranty, buying from China or a Chinese source you are taking a chance.

@@FaithsFallenthese are the terms of paid sponsors and partnerships,this can there once was a comment by gamersnexus /linus techtips in this regard
He'd want to make a separate video on that, to gain some extra money I suppose.
It's not about the cost. It's about finding the parts and making an interesting video. Buying individual parts is a really expensive way to get a smartphone.
Was about to suggest this too.
It would be cool if you told us at the end how much you paid USD to build it compared to how much you can buy it on Ebay or something, idk im just curious
He's probably making a separate video for that
Ditto
@strangeparts. Please do.. let us know the cost
i want the same answer
Curious too, waiting for the answer
Did this way back with a Motorola startac flip wasn't easy to get part's. Ended having to buy a broken phone for part's. Great video
it looks easy to assemble with the right parts for a specific PCB, the real problem was finding the parts. Good thing the IC's are already soldered in PCBs
Just saw this S9+ and met Scotty today at LTX2019
Ho, did he? That's fun
So he was at linus'
Cool!
Did he tell you how much it cost to build
@@ARCANEmateCLAN :D :D
The reason you won't find Android parts in a backalley store is because the is no need for that, you can order replacement parts directly from the manufacturer.
The entire reason this market exists for iPhones is that Apple refuses to sell their parts to shops and individuals that don't want to pay their apple certification fee.
And the same goes for other Apple products, such as iMacs. Ultimately as he said, this abundance of iPhone parts is also due to the fact Apple releases fewer models compared to other companies.
You also can order online on popular sites
They won't even sell you the parts if you're authorized.
@KeonXD yeah but the difference is that if the manufacturer supports parts it's way easier for people to buy and sell parts
I will never give my money to Apple again. Huawei is for me!! 💪🏻
I can't even imagine how crazy it is making a phone by yourself and see it working well. It's a incredible experience for sure.
That is a very respectable captions language list, incredible

Awesome and interesting video!
Awesome - Thank you for this video. May I ask what the total cost was after you complete build?
Strange Parts: "Do you have these Samsung wires?"
Employee of the month: "Let me ask my boss"
Boss: "We don't have Samsung" :')
well, we don´t know. maybe it was just his wife watching over the shop while the owner was taking a piss or ordering some parts online in the back office :o
Right.. I was like "You don't even know what brands you sell?" 🤔
I mean they most likely sell parts from hundreds of different manufacturers and we don't know how long they've worked there.
Boss: We sell burgers here
I wonder if it was more the employee being suspicious of what a random non-Chinese person is doing trying to buy Samsung parts. They probably checked with their boss to avoid getting in trouble. It's entirely possible they did have Samsung parts and the boss was just trying to cover their grey market asses.

When you put a phone together yourself, you gain an appreciation for the amount of engineering that goes into them.

@@razzledev so you're a hoarder. welcome to the club
@@MaxCE indeed welcome to le gang
Unless it’s an iphone then you don’t gain appreciation, you actually gain a hatred, and realize how much anti-repair they engineer their iPhones. (As well as MacBooks and everything else they engineer).
@@cellgaming8989 very true. PCs are a lot more upgradable than Macs, plus you're not forced into using their crappy OS if you don't want to (honestly I hate both Windows and macOS, I use Linux). I was surprised to see that my Lenovo IdeaPad 3 has space for a second drive as well as upgradable RAM. Can't do that on a modern Mac!
Great video, a reason for lack of parts in China is because Samsung actually makes it easy to order them online, whereas apple's supply chain is locked down
Actually there are not many people using Samsung in China nowadays, so it is not easy to get the used parts🤣
Or just low market shares in China. Makes s10 and s9 parts rare.
@@partrickw.gg.8541 I'm sure that's also a factor, though shengzen does repair for other countries so I don't think it's the entire reason
One of the most important factors is that stolen iPhones are sent to China for disassembly and part reuse since the iCloud lock prevents stolen iPhones from being possible to resell whole, while stolen Samsung phones are just illegally resold locally.
or maybe Samsung last longer?
This is amazing, I’ve never wanted to visit China but they are so ahead in technology! Definitely on my to do list now

It's for security. To prevent your phone from getting accessible if stolen by just replacing the sensor..
@@BrawndoQC That security also bricks your phone when the fingerprint sensor gets replaced, doesn't matter if it's the same fingerprint after
@@BrawndoQC Fingerprint data isn't stored in sensor, your argument is invalid
@@kvviingu2507 It's stored on the phone. There's a reason why Apple wants you to pay between $269 and $329 to replace your home button, and it's security. When Apple introduced its Touch ID sensor for the iPhone 5s, the company needed to reassure its customers. Your fingerprints don't get uploaded to Apple's servers.
So accepting third party replacements could hack the stored prints.
