Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Rear Camera Replacement

A malfunctioning camera on your Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge can cause blurry photos, failure to focus, or a completely blank screen when opening the camera app. Because this device features an incredibly thin 5.8mm profile and a massive 200 MP main sensor, replacing the camera module requires careful handling of fragile components. This guide will walk you through safely opening the device, removing the old camera module, and installing a new one.

1. 1

   Heat the back cover

   • Apply heat to the edges of the back glass using a heat gun or iOpener for about two minutes.
   • This softens the adhesive securing the incredibly thin back panel to the titanium frame.
2. 2

   Create an opening gap

   • Apply a suction handle to the bottom edge of the back cover and pull up gently.
   • Insert a plastic opening pick into the small gap you create.
3. 3

   Slice the adhesive

   • Slide the opening pick around the entire perimeter of the phone to cut the adhesive.
   • Be very careful around the camera lenses to avoid scratching the glass.
4. 4

   Remove the back cover

   • Once all the adhesive is cut, carefully lift the back cover away from the device.
   • Set it aside in a safe place where it will not get scratched.
5. 5

   Remove the motherboard bracket

   • Use your Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the screws securing the plastic motherboard bracket and wireless charging coil.
   • Gently lift the bracket out with tweezers and set it aside.
6. 6

   Disconnect the battery

   • Use the flat end of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the battery flex cable from the motherboard.
   • This is a critical safety step to prevent short circuits while working on the internal components.
7. 7

   Disconnect the camera cables

   • Locate the flex cables connecting the 200 MP main camera and the 12 MP ultrawide camera to the motherboard.
   • Carefully pry them straight up from their sockets using a plastic spudger.
8. 8

   Remove the old camera module

   • Gently lift the camera module out of its housing in the frame.
   • If it feels stuck, apply a tiny drop of isopropyl alcohol to loosen any underlying adhesive before lifting it with tweezers.
9. 9

   Install the new camera module

   • Place your replacement camera module into the housing and ensure it sits perfectly flush.
   • Gently press the flex cables down onto the motherboard connectors until they click into place.

    Reconnect the battery and bracket

    • Reconnect the battery flex cable to the motherboard.
    • Place the motherboard bracket back into position and secure it with the Phillips screws.

    Test the new camera

    • Power on your phone temporarily to test the camera app.
    • Check both the main 200 MP sensor and the ultrawide lens to ensure they focus properly before sealing the device.
12. 12

    Seal the phone

    • Power off the device, clean the old adhesive from the frame, and apply new adhesive strips.
    • Press the back cover firmly into place and apply steady pressure for at least thirty minutes to ensure a tight seal.
