Of course, you'll need to get the flagship smartphone (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/10/samsung-galaxy-s4-commercials/) in hand before you're able to damage it, but if you do, repairs shouldn't be a tremendous undertaking, if today's teardown video is any indication. According to TechnoBuffalo, which published the clip (available at the source link), the Gorilla Glass screen could be a bit more costly to replace, but overall, the device appears to be quite repairable. US carriers are expected to begin selling the Jelly Bean smartphone later this month (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/03/att-galaxy-s-4-pricing/), so even though this first undressing isn't terribly detailed, we should have but days to wait before taking a much closer look.
