Thank you for making this video. I needed the physical location of the processor since I wanted to attach a magnetic thermoelectric cooler to the back of the tab and none of the teardown videos on youtube seemed to disclose anything about the processor's location. Great video!!
I love how easy the screen is to remove, but God knows how expensive that screen will be. The problem with these tablets is if the screen breaks, they usually cost more to fix than buying a used one on eBay 😭
It's not as easy as it seems from the video, since I do a lot of the heating and prying off camera to save video time and fast forwarding for people :). It requires time and patience if your screen is working and not broken, but if its cracked or broken already, you can pry it off without having to be careful etc.
@@PBKreviews Oh for sure, I should have been more specific. I meant I love that the screen is right there, easy to replace. Instead of having to remove a motherboard, battery, and 25 screws.
the screens for the s8 are around 60-80$ if you can get wholesale prices. but even wholesale pricing on ANY + or Ultra models is 3-600$. That's wholesale price. Those Super AMOLED's 🤣 Main reason i bought a tab s8 with a cracked screen for $250. easy replacement and cheap. But i wouldn't even THINK of getting a cracked s8 ultra lmao
Thanks! Will consider it if this video gets good views but not sure it will be worth the cost vs the views since not too many people seem interested in it.
Don't ever break the screen. Wholesale price on a s8+ screen is $396, so you'd probably be looking at atleast $500 for a screen repair. The regular s8 on the other hand... replacement screens are only $70
because graphene is a single layer of graphite used as a film, where as you would refer to multiple layers forming somewhat of a solid or 3D layer as graphite or 3D graphite. some electronics use a thicker film which basically has multiple layers of graphite which I don't know if this is an accurate representation but is more like folding clay vs paper. The difference is obvious.
@@PBKreviews Ok, I asked for it because I never saw graphene so I don't know if it is so simple to recognize it even if I know what it is technically. If your are able to recognize it I trust you. Thank you for your confirmation 😊
This is really helpful! My Tab S8+ had a little part of the screen detached and just sent it to customer survice for repair. Seems now just some gaps between the adhesive. I was so worried if there would be any big issues
It's shame that Samsung didn't apply a batter cooling solution to the Tab S8. The Tab S8 will hit 90 ℃ Core Temperature in the first 10 seconds and thermal throttling to 70% of its maximum performance for the rest of the test. All Previous TabS7 and S6 didn't have this issue and were able to stay at 95%+ stability during the 3DMark Extreme stress test.
Every tablet makers should have included a fan like how redmagic did it especially with the amount of space it has i bet they could have included a built in fan considering tablets would replace laptops as they say
do you mean that it's not thermal paste between case and motherboard, it s some coper thin but the contact with the case could be better if they put some paste like they did between the chip and copper plate , had the s7plus and was same crap , the tablet overheat in gaming more than 10min and i bought a cooler from black magic and the back stays cool but the core temps was over 70 with cooler because there was no direct contact between the case and motherboard , why they don't make like in phone's, just put that f paste between so the heat pass more effective through the case , i considered to open tbe s7plus but i ended up sell it
Was there adhesive *all* the way around the screen? It's hard to see in the video if there were gaps or if the adhesive was rubbed off in some places from the removal process. Mainly wondering what the risk of water ingress is through the gap between the edge of the screen and the aluminum body if I touch the tablet with wet hands. Also, were there any gaskets or any amount of resistance to ingress around the power/volume buttons? Have you disassembled a Tab S7, and if so, was the internal design (particularly the elements I mentioned here) similar?
There was adhesive all the way around, and there were no rubber gaskets around with connectors or the sim tray or anywhere else that I could see. I havent taken apart a tab s7.
@PBKreviews Assuming the designs of the S7/S7+/S8+/S8 Ultra are similar, it sounds like I've been correctly handling my devices then. If my hands are wet, I only touch the screen, never the buttons, ports, SIM tray, or pogo pin contacts. Thanks for confirming my suspicions! I wish Samsung would make a proper water-resistant tablet (besides the lower‐spec Tab Active line). The last real contender was the Xperia tablet from years ago.
The cooling solution is not good enough in this tablet. What about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip? Does it have any thermal paste on it or is it just the RAM that has thermal paste on it?
I saw a broken one on eBay that wouldn't turn on was wondering how hard it was to fix to see if I could do it, I think I could but I would have to figure out what was wrong with it first
I have a chip in the corner of the glass only that is not affecting the operation in any way shape or form. I see I can get just the glass from eBay. Can just the glass front be replaced without exchanging the entire digitizer system?
I am not 100% sure but if I remember correctly, you can heat up the digitizer glass and pry it off the screen itself. But you would need to disconnect the digitizer flex cable from the back of the screen as well. You would not be able to just replace the glass since it would require special tools and machines which are using in the factory to get it done correctly and aligned etc.
Here are the links for the adhesives for each side of the screen: rounded.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-s8-sm-x706b-adhesive-sticker-display-lcd-top-gh02-23462a.html and rounded.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-s8-sm-x706b-adhesive-sticker-display-lcd-left-gh02-23464a.html and rounded.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-s8-sm-x706b-adhesive-sticker-display-lcd-right-gh02-23465a.html and rounded.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-s8-sm-x706b-adhesive-sticker-lcd-connector-gh02-23868a.html
I prefer to use a hair dryer vs heat gun since its not as abrasive. Heat it up so its hot to the touch but not too much that it will be burning hot. You can always apply more heat as needed during the prying process.
Do you plan to do Tab S8 Ultra? Would love to see how reliable it is. And how replaceable the battery is. I have the S8 ultra and the battery live is not as good as my old Tab S7. Around 30% less SOT.
Great breakdown. Concise and informative. You don't happen to know the pinout for that pogo connector, do you? I've been searching for ages and can't seem to find any info.
I have 2 months old s8 tab and i can hear some clicking sound when moving it arround sometiimes. Just like its less addhesive in my right side. Do they use tape or glue? Seems very easy to remove the screen so cant be that hard to reapply some? Warranty yes.. but would they do anything if u hear some clicking sound sometimes.. Dont believe so
@@PBKreviews thx for reply! The click sound will disapear if u hold the tab with left hand. So it does come from the displays right side, because if u hold the right side(pressure) u will hear som click sound. If i remove the display to check will i need new tape? Maybe less tape from factory or something? Some dirt making some tension, stress in the display? :)
I used to see people applying liquids when removing adhesive on any teardown video. I thought it was a special adhesive remover liquid, but instead only a regular isopropyl alcohol?
The S8+ has been a great tablet... battery life is starting to fall off after about 4-5 years. I set it to max charge at 85% and I think it's a slower charge which might help prolong the battery life.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC(Samsung 4nm fab) is power hungry(6 to 10 Watt). 8+ Gen 1 resolved this issue just by TSMC fabrication. My Tab S8 plus has 8 Gen 1. To reduce strain on battery, Can I use the table with the USB-C power supply? Or Does it ruin the battery by simultaneously charging(at 25W) and discharging(6 to 10Watt for SoC + Dispaly power consumption)?
Thx you very much I didn't know how to put my Sim card now it's fit will Oh unfortunately s8 didn't support wifi Sim I don't know what to do I need wifi in my tap
I have a s8+ needs battery replacement, I can't seem to get anyone to replace, guess I'll send it in, I'm too afraid I'll fuck it up. Doing it myself. Just don't have the confidence i did when I repaired PC for a living, I'm old now at 76.😊😢
Disappointing. Nothing was really done to help spread out the heat generated by the SOC. This thing under any kind of sustained loaf will thermally throttle to hell and back..
The copper heat transfer tape as well as the thermal paste would help transfer the heat to the back aluminum housing, but I would have liked to have seen some graphite or graphene film on the back housing where the copper tape would touch or some thermal paste or pad there as well for better heat transfer.
You should turn this teardown videos into ASMR. Without you speaking, just some auxiliary text and the volume of the disconnecting pins and screws turned up to 11
Hi, the teardown of that should be similar to this or the Ultra. If I end up finding one for a good price I will look into taking it apart but for now, the price vs the views it will get is not worth it.
In most cases, prying a working assembly apart would cause damage and render the screen useless or crack the digitizer etc. All that is left in most cases when the digitizer is removable, is to heat it up and gently pry it off the screen. But in most phones for example, the screen and touch digitizer glass are fused together so they are not user replaceable. However on tablets it may be a different story. I didn't personally try to pry it off to see if the digitizer is replaceable by itself, but I believe it would be.
How Ironic that the battery is the hardest to replace. It just blows my mind how we went from swappable and easily replaceable batteries, to it being one of the most difficult pieces to repair. WTF?!?! What is up with that?? It's better on the environment if we have replaceable batteries, but companies don't want that because they would rather have you buy more of their products instead.
@@MariusVerbavicius high density USB ports are not suited for cables that tug at the port and is not as durable as 3.5. By using the USB C port to double as your audio out you decrease it's life span. Tablets have the room to spare a jack.

Battery is always the first thing to go on ALL of my old mobile devices. Companies really need to focus hard on making battery replacements easy.
Great!!, just bought one, waiting for delivery. Nice to see how it looks on the inside.
Nice!
Can you go from the back and have easier access to battery?
Hard to believe the battery is easier to remove than in their phones.
I have the S8 Ultra and i'm wondering if the speakers are bigger in any way, housing and what not.
Thanks for doing this great video. I have one drop of water in the screen . And now this area has extra light in the cells . How to get this fixed ?
What kind of connector is the 3 pins that connect to the keyboard?
could you point for me for where Wifi module ? and it can find replacement parts or need to change main board thank you so much
