    • Insert a fingernail or a plastic opening tool into the slot located above the power button.

    • Gently pull the panel off the back of the phone.

    • The plastic snaps will make a popping sound as they separate.

    Hi, Yesterday I added a comment (although I can’t it on the site right now) I stated that the back on my S5 Mini was stuck on, not held by clips as you say in your S5 instructions. This was wrong. ''''

    ''''I wrongly thought my phone was an S5 Mini when in fact it’s an S6. I had forgotten that I had upgraded to the S6 some time ago and had not disposed of the S5 box etc. I will now rest my three remaining brain cells before attempting the repair of the S6.

    • Insert fingernail or plastic opening tool into the slot at the bottom of the battery.

    • Gently pry the battery away from the phone.

    • When replacing the battery, ensure the contacts are aligned and press lightly. The battery will appear to fit in multiple directions, so do not force it in.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
