Samsung Galaxy S 4 Beats HTC One in Teardown Test

The Samsung Galaxy S 4 will launch globally this month, but someone has gotten their hands on one of the phones early... and has already taken it completely apart.

TechnoBuffalo posted a teardown video, revealing that the Galaxy S 4 is actually fairly easy to disassemble should owners ever need to repair it. Although if the phone's Gorilla Glass screen might cost quite a bit to replace, the S 4 is "almost infinitely" easier to repair than the "other" flagship Android phone of the moment, the HTC One.

Check out the video to get a good look at the insides of Samsung's latest flagship smartphone, and tell is if you're thinking about getting one — and why — in the comments.
