Samsung Galaxy S25+ Rear Cameras Replacement

Allow the Galaxy's battery to discharge below 25% to prevent potential damage.

A charged lithium-ion battery may catch fire if damaged — perform repairs with a discharged battery only.

• Unplug all cables from your phone.
• Hold the side key and volume down button, then select Power off to completely power down your phone.

Cracked back glass can cause injury or complicate disassembly.

• Apply non-overlapping packing tape strips across the cracked glass, covering it completely.
• Ensure a single strip of tape is on the bottom edge, allowing a suction cup to fit.

Only apply tape directly to the glass; avoid sticking it to the frame.

• Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from potential flying glass debris during repair.

Careful handling required: improper use of a heat gun can damage the display and/or battery.

• Apply heat to soften adhesive using an iOpener for two minutes, or with a hair dryer/heating tool (following proper use guidelines).
• Heat an area on the bottom edge of the back cover.

Adhesive damage can occur if not carefully separated.

• Identify the perimeter adhesive on the back cover frame using the provided picture as reference.
• Insert your tool under the cover, near the cameras, only slightly to avoid damage.

Position a suction handle near the center of the bottom edge of the back cover.

Careful: Your phone may be hot.

• Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force until a gap forms between the back cover and frame.
• Hold the phone down with your lifting hand or steady the frame with your free hand using the fingers of that hand.
• Insert the tip of an opening pick into the gap.

Apply heat to a stuck area if needed.

• Slide the opening pick along the bottom edge to break the adhesive.

Slide the opening pick around the bottom right corner and up the right edge to loosen the adhesive.

Insert the pick just a few millimeters into the gap near the cameras, being cautious not to damage them.

• Slide the pick around the top right corner and along the top edge, separating the adhesive as you go.

Insert an opening pick into the top left corner of the device and gently guide it down along the left edge to break the adhesive seal.

Use a suction handle to lift and remove the back cover.

• If stuck, go around the perimeter with an opening pick to separate remaining adhesive.

Power on your phone, test all functions, and power down completely before continuing work.

• Inspect rear cameras for smudges; wipe gently with clean, lint-free cloth if necessary.

Apply replacement back cover adhesive to either frame or back cover. Use cutouts and contours to ensure best fit.

Insert the pointed end of a spudger between the connector and the charging coil, gently prying it loose.

• The wireless charging coil press connector should now be disconnected.

Keep track of each screw removed during this repair.

• Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove thirteen screws:
• Six screws securing the wireless charging coil (3.5 mm long)
• Seven screws securing the loudspeaker (3.5 mm long)

Make sure each screw is returned exactly to its original location.

Use the point of a spudger to gently pry up the left side of the loudspeaker, allowing it to unclip.

During reassembly, press firmly around the perimeter of the loudspeaker to ensure its clips engage securely.

Hold the wireless charging and loudspeaker assembly firmly with both hands.

• Lift upwards to release the assembly from its mounting points.

Pry at the correct location indicated by the gold arrow, avoiding damage to nearby components.

• Locate the gold arrow corresponding to the press connector on the board.
• Use a spudger's point to pry and disconnect the battery press connector.

Use the pointed end of a spudger to gently pry and release the earpiece speaker press connector from the top right of the motherboard.

Remove the earpiece speaker using a Phillips screwdriver.

• The screws have a length of 3.5 mm.
• There are five screws to be removed.

Avoid touching the cameras or applying pressure to surface-mounted components.

• Lift the earpiece speaker by its center using a spudger point until it releases.
• Remove the speaker from its location.

When reassembling, press firmly around the speaker's edges to secure its clips.

Use the point of a spudger to pry up the interconnect and screen cable press connectors.

• Pry up the three total connectors from the bottom edge of the motherboard.
• Disconnect the other ends of the cables for easier access, if desired.

Remember to reconnect both ends of the cables during reassembly.

• Disconnect the selfie camera and mmWave antenna press connectors using the pointed end of a spudger.

Remove the rear camera mounting screws using a Phillips screwdriver.

• The screws are located near the rear cameras.
• They are approximately 3.5 mm in length and have a flat head.

When handling the motherboard, grip only its edges to avoid damaging connectors and surface-mounted components.

• Lift the top edge of the motherboard and carefully remove it, ensuring no cables get snagged.
• During reassembly, hold or reposition cables as needed to prevent snagging or damage.

Do not press the motherboard against your work surface while working on the camera area.

• Hold the motherboard upside down above your workspace.
• Be gentle to avoid scratching or smudging the exposed cameras.

Start by removing cameras from top to bottom due to their interlocking design.

• Ultrawide Camera (Top): Use a spudger point to pry up and disconnect press connector.
• Remove the ultrawide camera.

Be cautious not to damage cutouts on motherboard when reassembling, as ultrawide camera has two pegs that fit into them.

• Wide-angle camera press connector: use the point of a spudger to carefully pry up and disconnect.
• Remove the disconnected wide-angle camera.

Use a spudger point to pry up and release the telephoto camera press connector.

• Remove the telephoto camera once disconnected.

Ensure cameras slot together properly during reassembly. Refer to reference image for correct alignment, with minimal play between each component.

Identify and separate the three rear camera assemblies.
