Those who take their Samsung Galaxy device to a repair store may get it back in pieces, since Samsung forces service providers under certain conditions to disassemble devices instead of repairing them, and to send the customer's personal data to the company. iFixit is therefore ending its cooperation with Samsung.

It would be cool if they sold the thing in (or were willing to ship to) my country…
I ordered mine from http://clove.co.uk/ and they happily shipped to Canada. It has worked fine in Canada, the US, and Barbados (eSIM and physical SIM).
I like the phone a lot, but whenever it’s talked about I’m surprised how many people feel the urge to chime in on why it wouldn’t work for them.
I’d say my biggest gripe is lack of accessories. I paid the huge price for the official screen protector twice. They both cracked relatively quickly and there are pretty much no other options. I’m using a flexible matte-finish screen protector from Amazon now, but it scratches really easily and will slide around on the screen if I keep my phone in my back pocket.
I didn’t say it wouldn’t work for me, only that they make it hard to get here.
