Samsung's newest flagship fablet will be a bugger to repair and will need to be sent back to the manufacturer most of the time if anything goes wrong.

A tear down of the Galaxy Note 7, by iFixit, resulted in a "repairability score" of four out of 10. While this is better than the Galaxy S7, which earned a three out of 10 it is pretty shocking. iFixit said that several components were replaceable but a number of other parts were completely sealed. Some of this problem was due to the Note 7's waterproof feature, but the ablity to survive being dripped in a loo comes at a price.
