The Definitive Guide to Replacement Parts for the Samsung Galaxy S22 5G: Screens, Batteries and More
The Samsung Galaxy S22 5G (SM-S901B) remains a benchmark device for its perfect balance of performance, design, and size. Despite its robust construction with Armour Aluminium and Gorilla Glass Victus+, daily use and unexpected accidents may mean you need a repair. At iLevante.com, we understand the importance of keeping your device in perfect condition. That's why we've created this comprehensive guide to all the spares and parts available for your S22 5G, from screens to the most specific internal components.
A Technical Look at the Samsung Galaxy S22 5G
Before we dive into the world of replacement parts, let's remember why the S22 5G is such a popular device. Launched in February 2022, this model stands out for its:
- Screen: A 6.1-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1300 nits of peak brightness.
- Processor: In Europe, it's equipped with the powerful Exynos 2200, a chipset that, while offering great performance, has been a topic of debate for its thermal management compared to its Qualcomm counterpart.
- Memory: 8 GB of RAM accompanied by 128 GB or 256 GB of internal storage.
- Cameras: A triple rear camera system (50MP main, 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and 12MP ultra-wide) and a 10MP front camera.
- Battery: A 3700 mAh capacity with 25W fast charging.
These high-end components are precisely the ones that, should they fail, require quality replacement parts to restore the device's original functionality.
Screens for the Samsung S22 5G: Which Option Should You Choose? 📲
The screen is, without a doubt, the component most prone to damage. A drop, a knock or pressure can cause anything from visible cracks to internal failures. When looking for a replacement, you'll come across several technologies. We'll detail them here so you can make the best decision.
Types of Replacement Screens
- Original / Service Pack: This is the highest quality option. It is a genuine Samsung part, identical to the one your mobile had from the factory. These screens, often identified by a part number like GH82-27520A, guarantee 100% compatibility, the same Dynamic AMOLED 2X image quality, vibrant colours, and the 120Hz refresh rate. They come pre-assembled in their frame, which makes installation much easier. This is iLevante.com's recommendation for a perfect repair.
- AMOLED / OLED: These screens are the highest quality alternative after the original. OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) technology allows each pixel to generate its own light, offering pure blacks and infinite contrast. A generic OLED or AMOLED replacement screen will offer a visual experience very close to the original, although there might be slight variations in colour calibration or maximum brightness.
- INCELL: This technology integrates the touch panel (digitiser) and the LCD into a single layer. Although more common in mid-range models, versions exist for high-end models. Its image quality is lower than an OLED's, with less vivid colours and blacks that can appear more greyish. However, its cost is significantly lower, making it a viable budget option.
- TFT (Thin-Film Transistor): This is the most basic and economical screen technology. TFT screens are a type of LCD that requires a constant backlight, which results in higher battery consumption and much lower contrast. The blacks look illuminated and the colours lack the vibrancy of an OLED screen. Although it's the cheapest option, the loss of visual quality and lower energy efficiency are considerable.
Galaxy S22 5G Battery: Everything You Need to Know 🔋
Battery life is crucial. Over time and with charge cycles, all lithium-ion batteries degrade. If you notice that your S22 5G doesn't make it to the end of the day, suddenly shuts down with charge remaining, or has swollen (a serious problem requiring immediate attention), it's time to change the battery.
Identifying the Correct Battery: Model EB-BS901ABY
The Samsung Galaxy S22 5G uses the battery with the model number EB-BS901ABY, with a capacity of 3700 mAh. When looking for a replacement, it's vital to ensure it is compatible with this reference.
What Are OEM Batteries Without a Logo?
In the replacement parts market, you will often find "OEM" (Original Equipment Manufacturer) batteries. These batteries are made by the same companies that produce the official ones for Samsung, following the same quality and safety standards. The only difference is that, for brand licence reasons, they do not carry the Samsung logo. They are, in essence, original parts without the branding. Opting for an OEM battery from iLevante.com guarantees you performance and durability identical to the battery that came with your new mobile, but at a more competitive price.
Basic Guide to Changing the S22 5G's Battery
Changing the S22 5G's battery is a medium-to-high difficulty process due to the device's sealed design. It is recommended that this is carried out by a qualified technician. However, if you have experience, these are the general steps:
- Heat the back cover: Use a heat gun or an iOpener to soften the adhesive that seals the back cover.
- Open the device: With a suction cup and plastic plectrums, carefully lift and separate the back cover from the chassis.
- Disconnect components: Remove the screws from the motherboard cover and disconnect the battery and any other flex cables that might be in the way.
- Remove the old battery: The battery is stuck down with strong adhesive. Very carefully, using isopropyl alcohol to dissolve the adhesive, pry it out. Never puncture or bend the battery!
- Install the new battery: Place the new EB-BS901ABY battery, reconnect everything and seal the phone with new adhesive for the back cover.
Back Covers: Colours and Replacement Process
A broken back cover not only affects the aesthetics but also compromises the device's water and dust resistance. Fortunately, it is a relatively simple part to replace. The Galaxy S22 5G was launched in an attractive range of colours:
- ⚫ Phantom Black
- ⚪ Phantom White
- 🟢 Green
- 💖 Pink Gold
- 💜 Bora Purple
- ⚫ Graphite (Samsung.com exclusive)
- 🔵 Sky Blue (Samsung.com exclusive)
- ⚪ Cream (Samsung.com exclusive)
- 💜 Violet (Samsung.com exclusive)
The process for changing the cover is the first step of almost any repair: applying heat to soften the adhesive and carefully separating it using plastic tools. Replacement covers from iLevante.com often include pre-installed adhesive to facilitate a perfect seal.
The 4 Most Relevant Replacement Parts for Your Samsung S22 5G
Besides the screen and battery, other components can fail. Here we present the 4 most in-demand replacement parts and their associated problems.
1. Charging Port Flex Cable (USB-C Port)
- Function: This component not only manages the device's charging but also integrates the main microphone for calls and data transfer via cable.
- Symptoms of failure: Intermittent or no charging, the PC doesn't recognise the mobile, problems with Android Auto, or people can't hear you during a call.
- Relevance: It's a high-wear part due to the constant connection and disconnection of the cable.
2. Rear Camera Module
- Function: The S22 5G has three rear cameras. They can fail individually.
- Symptoms of failure: Blurry photos (autofocus failure), black spots in the image (internal dirt or damaged sensor), the camera app closes or shows no image. A "rattling" or "clicking" noise when you shake the mobile is usually normal and corresponds to the optical image stabilisation (OIS), but if it's accompanied by focus failures, it may indicate a problem.
- Relevance: The camera is one of the S22's star features, and its failure greatly limits the user experience.
3. Earpiece Speaker (Call Speaker)
- Function: This is the speaker you put to your ear to listen during calls.
- Symptoms of failure: You hear nothing, or the sound is very low, distorted, or crackles during calls. It often gets clogged with dirt, but if cleaning doesn't solve it, it needs to be replaced.
- Relevance: A failure in this part makes the most basic function of the phone impossible to use without the loudspeaker or headphones.
4. Rear Camera Lens
- Function: This is the external glass that protects the camera modules.
- Symptoms of failure: Deep scratches or a crack in the glass. This causes photos with lens flare, blurriness or artefacts, and leaves the delicate camera modules exposed to dust and moisture.
- Relevance: It's a very common and inexpensive repair that prevents much greater (and more expensive) damage to the camera modules themselves.
Technical Diagnosis: Hardware vs. Software Problems 🛠️
Sometimes, a problem that seems like hardware can originate from the software. A technician should always rule this out first to avoid unnecessary repairs.
Common Hardware Problems
Overheating is a frequent complaint with the Exynos 2200 version, especially under heavy use. While this is part of its design, excessive and constant overheating can accelerate the degradation of the battery and other components. Other pure hardware failures include dead pixels on the screen, vibration motor failures, or problems with the ultrasonic fingerprint reader that are not solved by reconfiguration.
When the Software Fails: Professional Diagnosis
From a technician's perspective, many "hardware" problems have a logical root. A "bootloop" (the mobile constantly reboots on the Samsung logo) after a software update is usually a corrupt firmware problem, not a motherboard issue. Excessive battery drain can be caused by a poorly optimised app or a background process, not necessarily a faulty battery.
To diagnose, a technician uses tools such as:
- Safe Mode: Boots the mobile with only the system apps. If the problem (e.g., battery drain, slowness) disappears, a third-party app is to blame.
- Wipe Cache Partition: Clears the system cache from the recovery menu. This solves many performance issues and minor glitches without deleting user data.
- Odin: This is Samsung's official software for flashing firmware. Reinstalling the factory operating system is the last resort to rule out a software fault 100% before opening the device.
