Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 will delight employees of service centers with good maintainability
Craftsmen iFixit studied the “anatomy” of the smartwatch Galaxy Watch 3, which Samsung officially unveiled on August 5 during the virtual presentation of Galaxy Unpacked 2020.
Recall that the gadget is available in two sizes – with a round dial with a diagonal of 1.4 “(34 mm) and 1.2” (30 mm). The full-color Super AMOLED screen is constantly on, and Corning Gorilla Glass DX protects against damage.
The device carries an Exynos 9110 processor with two cores, 1 GB of RAM, a flash module with a capacity of 8 GB, Bluetooth 5.0, and Wi-Fi 802.11b / g / n adapters, an NFC controller, a GPS / GLONASS / Beidou receiver. The set of sensors includes an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a barometer, a heart rate sensor with eight photodiodes, and a function for measuring the volume of consumed oxygen, an ambient light sensor.
Dissection showed that the watch has very good maintainability – seven points out of ten on the iFixit scale. This means that the device will not create serious problems for employees of service centers.
In particular, the autopsy procedure is straightforward. There are no cables and fragile connectors coming with overlapping inside. The battery and display can be easily accessed. Plus, most of the components are modular. The disadvantages of the design include the partial use of proprietary fasteners and the glass-to-screen interface.
