Score breakdown
Why this grade
iFixit scored the Galaxy Tab S3 = 4/10 (front and back both glued) and rated the Tab S8 only 'average'; tablets carry the same adhesive penalty as Samsung phones. Samsung runs an official Self-Repair program with iFixit selling genuine parts (display, battery, charging port) plus step-by-step guides for tablets including Tab S7+ and the Tab S9 series, which lifts parts and manual availability. Coverage gaps remain: newer Tab S10/S11 are not yet in the self-repair program. Less aggressive parts-pairing than Apple but genuine-part verification exists.
Methodology & version
Five dimensions — parts availability, schematic access, repairability, OEM pricing, and software freedom — are scored 0–100 and weighted equally; the letter grade is the average (A 90–100, B 80–89, C 70–79, D 60–69, F below 60).
