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.
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.
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.
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!
@@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. The prices being put on a video sponsored or otherwise will do nothing to lower iFixit's sales.
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.
Damn, really cool. I would like to learn how to assemble a cell phone as well. Do you have any courses? Big hug from Brazil and congratulations for the content.
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.

Yes please do. I caught whiff of some of the prices of the parts but the case, camera, battery, and logic board were left out. Those cables were .30 and a few other parts were about $2-3 dollars US.
I worked at a repair shop and we used midframe+screen replacements instead of just the glass. And I was able to pump out 8 to 10 Samsung's for every 3 iPhones.
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.

@@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.
its already feasible to begin with. ps4 is just a overglorified budget low end pc anyways. The burning question is that, how much time and budget does he put into making this phone in total?
The b role editing vid/music and the quality of production are so wonderful on these videos it’s amazing to see all your growth going back in these. Keep doing amazing work
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
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.
The Samsung parts are hard to tell the difference between, but that's what makes them so good normally. Samsung perfected the design for their parts to make it simple to assemble, so they don't make drastic changes for every new model. Apple, on the other hand, focuses on making their phones difficult to assemble, and more importantly difficult to take apart, so they change up the shapes of their parts every new model. That leads to more unique shapes for Apple, but a far simpler construction for Samsung, which I appreciate as someone who likes to fix my phone instead of throwing it away for every little problem that comes up.
@@moizahmed7392 I wasn't aware of that. Yeah, that's a pretty dumb thing to do, but I'm sure they did it for a simpler production process, not just to piss on people who want to fix their own phones. Still sucks though.
@@sudonim7552 i believe it was to remove the connection between the sub pba(motherboard) and the main pba. on a s9 the main board and the board with the charging port are separate and they have a small cable that connects them both, by making the board one solid piece they save on time and save space in the phone for a larger battery
Except now(and for the last 7-8 years) every android maker is trying to copy Apple in every single thing they do...down to lack of headphone jack and nonremovable batteries. :( Why would they sell you $30 new battery when they can sell you $800 new phone.
I think you forgot the thermal compound connecting the CPU and the copper heat pipe! That is very important!!! Edit: Thanks for the likes, TH-cam-Algorithm!
The sheer amount of engineering in Samsung devices is wonderful. I've worked on a variety of mobile devices, but the pentalobe screwdriver and multi-length screws boggle me. I've also loved not only iFixit's guides and parts, but their fervent (if self-serving) participation in Right To Repair legislation. Your videos get watched every time I see them and I've subbed for years, so glad to see the content continuing.
How much did it cost you in total? was it cheaper? from the prices I saw from the sellers it looks like u made that phone for like 50 bucks or something. please upvote so he can see.
All the time and he did not mention the price of all the parts but he did bother to film how he was looking for S10. A flagship phone. Did he seriously expect there to be parts available already? What is even the point of this video?
@@DjSeptimus Well, yeah, I assume he thought he'd be able to find some brand new parts. It's been out and around for at least 4 months. Either that or he thought it was last years model or something, like he said, he never deals with android phones.
@@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.
Tesla is opening a gigafactory in China. So, it's not a joke. You bet there's going to be a market of used Tesla parts, copied pars etc. Besides, China already has many electric vehicle companies.
Assembling a phone is not that difficult, a lot of people do it in factory and it's easy once you learn it. Most people don't know how to do it cause 99.99% of the time it's not needed and of no use.
Making a phone like that would be impossible. Different manufacturers use different connections, drivers etc. Even if he would be able to make one, he'd have to build an os + kernel for it.
Hi, I'm here to bring you a great smart power bank idea for IOS phones and others. How about opening a smart power bank case and putting SSD 120GB? Or even enjoy battery charging but put a micro SD reader?
Because they don't say 10 , they say S - 1 - 0 , S Yao ling instead of S shi the cantonese 4 and 10 are phonetically reversed. So there is also confusion
@@larsradtke4097 S一零？We don't say that. Proof: I'm Chinese myself. Samsung isn't popular in China, and some random electric parts seller may not even know samsung has a new phone.
Lars Radtke Possibly, never heard anyone say S-1-0 but that’s just me. Probably because it sounds like S Sh*t if you’re not careful with the pronunciation.
I'm phone -agnostic. I don't care what brand I use; BUT I just got a Motorola stylus 2021 and I love it. It's so awesome to not have to jump thru hoops to transfer files, music, etc. No more iphones for me. iPhones are usually nicer quality, but this Motorola just is so easy to use that I realize how badly I've missed it. Anyway, another great video!
IMO means a lot more than a "fake" platonic review. A screw driver can only impress so much. His genuine reaction to it makes it much more believable. Over-hyping the product would only disappoint me after I buy it.
@@foorack Most TH-cam reviewers: "Oh my god, these are absolutely incredible. They're literally the best... (what were they? oh right) screwdrivers I've ever used."
@@foorack those Ifixit screwdrivers really opened my eyes, though. They're such a blessing after having used cheap ass screwdrivers my entire life. The way you can hold them stable whilst turning them with only one hand, my god it feels good.
Koome His concept, not theirs. Point would be to buy parts openly that are what they are, not looking for dubious spares or clones of a specific model. So he could start with a reference board from one of the chip makers (Qualcomm, MediaTek, or a less known brand), hook up parts like battery, cameras, screen, plugs etc. Use the part factories software kits and the Android reference software to cobble together a working phone. Fun part is finding suppliers who don't require a minimum buy of 10000 units to give him the files.
@@mounirelkirafi $134.65, working off the prices provided, I don't think he gave a price for the logic board, but I don't imagine it would have cost much considering the price of all the other parts, so you're probably looking at somewhere around $140-$150ish

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.
This channel has quickly become one of my favorite. Super interesting content.

That's exactly my thought as well. 😂😂😂
The Samsung parts are hard to tell the difference between, but that's what makes them so good normally. Samsung perfected the design for their parts to make it simple to assemble, so they don't make drastic changes for every new model. Apple, on the other hand, focuses on making their phones difficult to assemble, and more importantly difficult to take apart, so they change up the shapes of their parts every new model. That leads to more unique shapes for Apple, but a far simpler construction for Samsung, which I appreciate as someone who likes to fix my phone instead of throwing it away for every little problem that comes up.
It ended up with s10. The usb c port is now connected with the motherboard. Which makes it difficult to repair
@@moizahmed7392 true
@@moizahmed7392 I wasn't aware of that. Yeah, that's a pretty dumb thing to do, but I'm sure they did it for a simpler production process, not just to piss on people who want to fix their own phones. Still sucks though.
@@sudonim7552 i believe it was to remove the connection between the sub pba(motherboard) and the main pba. on a s9 the main board and the board with the charging port are separate and they have a small cable that connects them both, by making the board one solid piece they save on time and save space in the phone for a larger battery

The sheer amount of engineering in Samsung devices is wonderful. I've worked on a variety of mobile devices, but the pentalobe screwdriver and multi-length screws boggle me. I've also loved not only iFixit's guides and parts, but their fervent (if self-serving) participation in Right To Repair legislation. Your videos get watched every time I see them and I've subbed for years, so glad to see the content continuing.
How much did it cost you in total? was it cheaper? from the prices I saw from the sellers it looks like u made that phone for like 50 bucks or something.
please upvote so he can see.
Not cheaper than a used s9.
All the time and he did not mention the price of all the parts but he did bother to film how he was looking for S10. A flagship phone. Did he seriously expect there to be parts available already? What is even the point of this video?
@@DjSeptimus Well, yeah, I assume he thought he'd be able to find some brand new parts. It's been out and around for at least 4 months. Either that or he thought it was last years model or something, like he said, he never deals with android phones.
He was curious to know if they were available YET - As he pointed out. Then he went down a generation to see if that was possible.

@@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.

I would love to see a strange parts phone. no brand. some kind of hybrid would be awesome to see.
much easier to make a Generic Android smartphone with unbranded OS.
Thats what I was thinking,I'd love to see one with the best parts of every other phone
Making a phone like that would be impossible. Different manufacturers use different connections, drivers etc. Even if he would be able to make one, he'd have to build an os + kernel for it.
That would be hard since parts are very different from each other no standard is followed when making

Koome His concept, not theirs. Point would be to buy parts openly that are what they are, not looking for dubious spares or clones of a specific model.
So he could start with a reference board from one of the chip makers (Qualcomm, MediaTek, or a less known brand), hook up parts like battery, cameras, screen, plugs etc. Use the part factories software kits and the Android reference software to cobble together a working phone. Fun part is finding suppliers who don't require a minimum buy of 10000 units to give him the files.
