The Samsung Galaxy Tab has been pried open, not by ifixit but JkkMobile. Obviously this wasn’t a proper dismantle process that we’re used to and the person doing it says that it was a nasty experience and advise viewers not to try this at home. Some excessive force is required to force open the plastic back.
In the video, he showed the massive 4000mAh battery which occupies nearly half of the tablet and the external sound comes from 2 speaker boxes which is bigger than we would expect. Looking towards the glass, the gorilla glass seems to be fused with the frame, making it possibly more costly and difficult to repair if the glass is broken.
Another surprise is there’s an empty slot towards the sides where he demonstrated a possible stylus could be stored inside. We suspect this area he mentioned might be for the antenna used for DMB TV which is Mobile TV feature that was shown in the Korean model.
Check out the full video after the break.
