The iFixit report points out that the battery is 'tightly adhered' and within the device's insides, making it very difficult to reach the battery. Moreover, it also reports fear of completely destroying the display while replacing a cracked glass.Talking about the components, Samsung is known to build all kinds of tech components, and so its obvious the Galaxy S6 Edge doesn't have to rely on components build by outsiders.
