Galaxy Note 10+ 5G is just as difficult to repair as the Galaxy S10

-

The majority of Galaxy Note 10+ buyers are waiting for their latest acquisition to be shipped tomorrow, August 23, and if you feel like another nugget of information regarding the flagship will make your wait a little bit more bearable then you might be interested in a teardown. iFixit is at it again with a disassembly of the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G, so this is your chance to get a better view of what's on the phone's inside.

Since the disassembled variant is the one supporting 5G, there will inevitably be some differences between it and the LTE model's internal components. Aside from the LTE version missing the appropriate 5G-related chips, there may or may not be some differences in terms of cooling as well. This remains to be seen, but as far as the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G model is concerned, it relies on a fairly solid vapor chamber to keep the components' temperatures in check. Using 5G tends to heat up a phone fairly quickly, more so than 4G.

The Galaxy Note 10+ is not easy to repair

As is the case with most Samsung smartphones that feature a glass sandwich design, the Galaxy Note 10+ is not an easy phone to repair. It takes a lot of patience to remove the glass back panel using prying tools, suction cups, and a heat gun. Likewise, replacing the screen would require a complete teardown.

On the bright side, iFixit gives the phone extra points for relying on equally-sized Phillips screws, which means that you won't need more than one screwdriver to disassemble it. On the not-so-bright side, the battery is glued to the chassis quite strongly, and because there are display ribbon cables in the way, replacing the battery is reportedly more difficult than it's ever been.

Overall, iFixit gave the Galaxy Note 10+ 5G a repairability score of 3 out of 10, same as the Galaxy S10. You can head down to their website and check the full teardown process complete with photos of various internal components.

Do more from your inbox with Gmail Add-ons

For many of us, email is mission control—the prompt to generate an invoice, prepare a presentation or follow up on a sales opportunity. With so many to-dos, imagine if you could complete these tasks directly from your inbox without interrupting your workflow. We believe email can do more, which is why we're launching Gmail Add-ons, a new way to work with your favorite business apps directly in Gmail.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK). The red model reminds me of a Porsche. / © AndroidPIT Design and build quality In essence, it is th
