you're welcome 👍

Well, it's easy for those who do it for a living every day and with the magic of video editing. Even pros sometimes make mistakes and nick a cable. After 22 years of fixing phones, sometimes it happens to me too., but that's how you learn.

Thanks!

Thank you and You're welcome :)

Nothing in this teardown either confirms or refutes serialization. We simply don't know until someone attempts to swap components from two similar devices.

​@@MikeTrieu Not this teardown, his 6 Pro teardown, he did exactly that. Swapped components to test what would work. Only thing serialized is the fingerprint reader, which makes sense. And Google provides you the calibration software to re-calibrate a new fingerprint reader, which is unheard of and a huge step forward for right to repair. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p991oKaZtLOlfmQ.html We can assume this applies to the regular Pixel as well.

You're welcome. Yea hopefully :)

Sorry but has nothing to do with right to repair. Watch this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9qcm5iVzrnRh4k.html&ab_channel=LouisRossmann It is when phone manufacturers use a certain chip that the manufacturers of these chips (eg. TI, Samsung etc) are not allow to sell or like Apple that even genuine Apple parts (e.g. from brand new phones) can't be swapped between the same two devices because they don't have the same serial number. Soldering a USB C port to the main port is not like that. It worsens the reparability, but it does not make the operation impossible like in the mentioned cases.

@@b0nz1official I know what you are talking about, but in my opinion, easier repairability also counts to R2R.

@@user-bp8yg3ko1r There is an engineering and durability reasoning for such choices. Not everything can be made modular while meeting goals set by the team for longevity. The same thing goes for those being upset about the how complex these devices are to disassemble. You can only do so much in such a small space.

@@user-bp8yg3ko1r Then watch the video. Louis Rossmann is probably one the most famous proponents of R2R. And he explains in detail why there is a huge difference and he doesn't want to force companies of using parts that are easier to repair because it could slow or hinder progress. He even explains that he is worried that people don't get the difference and you clearly are a candidate.

Thanks! ya if I had another one on hand I would have tested it out but didn't have another one. I'm sure someone will do a video on that maybe ifixit or someone else pretty soon.

👍😀

I tried to remove the glass, it looks like it should be replaceable but the adhesive is really strong so I did not want to risk cracking or breaking it so I left it alone. But even if you clear out the back, on this phone you wont see anything since the glass sits over the aluminum uni body of the phone, there is only a square cut out for the wireless charger but aside from that you would not see into the phone.

gonna have to wait for a dbrand skin unfortunately

@@neolordie wait for Jerryrig

would love to just replace it with some plastic panel... more reliable, thinner and less weight))

@@neolordie skin is released

Phone cameras are becoming an overkill. IMO For the average person even a 3-4 year old phone takes perfectly fine pictures. Pros are better off with high quality digital cameras with replaceable macro and tele-photo lenses.

​@@BillAntit's more for video everyone wants a 5k recorder in their pocket so companies are racing to make that happen.

​@@cavc1979- Most people can't tell the difference between 1080p and 4k especially on a relatively small phone screen, it's a waste of storage.

Thanks! and yup would have been good if they did.

@@PBKreviews I came back here to know more about the device. I am now a proud owner of Pixel 6. ^_^

@@prakharagnihotri5579 I'm here for the exact same reason. Would you recommend this device for long term use?

@@jvbenjamin Yes I would. 100% but i have a feeling that Pixel 7 will have all those tiny issues (that 6 has) solved and improved on. So if you are not on a budget constraint and can wait 5 months, Pixel 7 would be a better buy. 6a looks beautiful with that handy form factor but pixel 6 will still be a better overall device when comparing the two. So if you want one NOW close your eyes and get the Pixel 6. See if you can get a carrier sale price of $549 that would be sweet. Only get the 6a if you are tight on budget or want a small handy phone And pixel 7 if you can wait a bit. I have a feeling that the Pixel 7 will be $100 more than 6 (ie; 700 dollars) so you have enough time to save up.

👍😀

👍

Thanks. Yes its attached to the display and a lot of newer high end devices have the in display finger print readers. I personally don't love them since they are not as fast as the physical ones in my opinion.

lol :)

You can always use a power drill with a drill bit small enough to fit inside the screw head, and drill slightly into the screws to break off the heads. Then you can use a clamp or something similar to grab and twist the broken screws out and replace them with new screws.

You're welcome. You would need this adhesive: www.ebay.com/itm/353905995635?hash=item526670ef73:g:zZkAAOSwNGBiBoss&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4BaT9F4j%2FRvU%2FRm43BO4Eh2J84UdL5H5doASFVJd5k1ZC25ElsX8rtYXCcAPTATz97vbjeev69USNoajzhKA7b%2Flnttu3q3Ixu1rbQWSpIrXSNti727GrQk4X5IktVDLv07zo2y59Djz1HnfG5dn4LW%2B2k2sEoZPgVJlzK8GShQaliufsqwyfuhpVPt1I7IA0Cn1OxukArLF0yJaGSirOTFn4nt2JFSxJU1bSh7OVVoYH24XD5NzNFHR61WSj6yQjUI0UMf3HNJee2X7lFgo%2ByQflqACvi8oEbDjYNelGM8w%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR_Lv--u8Yg

You're welcome

Thanks

Thanks! I believe they moved it back to china for the 6 and 6 pro because of covid regulations but not sure which manufacturer. I will probably be doing the 6 pro as well, but I don't have it on hand yet. Will see.

@@PBKreviews Thanks for the update 👍🏽

You're welcome :)

👍

You're welcome!

It's normal for it to heat up due to the fact the point of the heat transfer materials on the inside are to exchange heat from the components out to the outside of the phone. Also the main board is located on that side you are feeling heat, so again should be normal. But if it is extremely hot that you cant hold the phone then might be an issue with the phone or software/app you are running.

Thanks!

Thanks! Yea the top speaker was surprisingly large and also has the white foam balls but the bottom didn't seem to have the foam balls. I will try to do the 6 pro as soon as I am able to get one in.

Oh I see. Thank you PBK. Thanks for your full explain. Great teardown video.👍👍👍

@@zuhayrzainuddin1150 you're welcome and thank you!

Yes, the Verizon version will have the mmWave antenna. You can see the solder points on the board next to the battery connector where the mmWave antenna connector would be.

Yeah, I don't go too into detail on those things because I feel if someone doesn't have any experience at all and doesn't know how to use any of those tools, it wouldn't be a good idea for them to do it in the first place because so many people end up damaging other parts along the way trying to fix one thing. So I just try to show the stuff people want to see like internal build, cooling and basics on internal part removal vs how to use a suction cup tool. Entertainment wise yeah its a good idea, but educational wise not so much I feel. For example, I've had people who don't even know which button is the power button on the phone try to take their phone apart and damage it when they shouldn't have been attempting it in the first place :)

Yes it has it on the top speaker but not the bottom. The pixel 6 pro had it on both top and bottom speakers.

Yup. The charger port will require someone with soldering knowledge to be able to de solder it and solder a new one on. Some repair shops do it.

@@PBKreviews honestly I managed to screw up my display only once and the only thing I had to do was a battery swap on a OnePlus 6 + the USB-C ports are dust eaters, so cleaning that one with some Tweezers. The phone I screwed up the Display was a sony Ericsson. Fun story tho: had a empty glass on my table with a spoon in it and knocked it off the table while my phone was laying on my PC. Catched the glass, but well... Display got spooned, lol :D Managed to modify a Dell Streak 5 to give it more internal storage, was fun. One of the first Android devices back then and the only thing you had to do was swapping an SD-Card on the PBC. Repair wise I really loved that one back than

@@L1ghtbirdy yep some things were a bit more simpler back in the day.

Thanks :)

Thanks 😀👍

@@PBKreviews speechless 🤣

same as mine. but i noticed that it only heats up on the aluminum frame and the heat is not dissipating that much to the screen or the back. seems like the passive cooling graphene size used here is pretty small plus the poor thermal of the tensor itself due to samsung's less efficient fabrication

@@jpara_dise that might be it, but it's so long ago that now I'm having the new Pixel 8 Pro, the heat problems are completely gone, only if some weird programmed apps are running it might get hot, but not at any normal games, so basically Google learned from previous problems.

@@Bl0wUMind good for you. Seems like tensor g3 is a true upgrade from the tensor g1 chip

If they have the part I would assume so but most likely only authorized service centers like ubreakifix which get parts directly from the manufacture would have the graphene heat transfer film to replace. However, if they carefully peel off the film and not damage it, it can be reused.

👍 you're welcome

Yup unfortunately

No it's adhered with adhesive to the back of the mid plate shown @1:59 in the video

@@PBKreviews oh thank you. Nice to see bigger taptic ones. The old round ones were trash

Hi, no I didn't have another one on hand to test that out.

​@@PBKreviews If you could do that, it'll be super appreciated. Please let Louis Rossman know of the result, because according to a repair manual that was leaked, the camera(s) is software locked to the mainboard, making the phone less repairable for no good reason. If you let Louis Rossman know with evidence, then we can either name and shame them or clear their name, depending on the outcome. Perhaps this could be a part of your Pixel 6 Pro teardown review? If you do and Louis Rossman mentions you, it'll attract many more viewers too!

@@Guy109897 I will see if i am able to obtain 2 of the pixel 6 pro to test it out.

@@PBKreviews 👍 Forgot to say - great work with this and all your other vids! Keep it up, super informative and helpful :)

Thanks! I appreciate it. :)

Hi, I don't have the phone with me anymore to take measurements but its usually in the back center of the phone.

@@PBKreviews THANK YOU 🙏🙏👍

Hi here is a link: www.ebay.com/itm/353775198686?hash=item525ea521de:g:vToAAOSw6HhhlyjB

Not sure what it is, didn't see any code written on it aside from that QR sticker.

Yup lol

It's possible its due to the fact the screen doesn't have a metal back plate or any backing and the plastic boarder of it has it siting slightly above internal components so nothing actually touching it directly so might be giving it that hollow sound when tapped.

@@PBKreviews Thanks. Would this make it less strong or more likely to break in a drop?

@@BatfinksWings shouldn't affect it plus it has gorilla glass victus so should be strong.

Yep, soldered charging ports on main boards suck. You can try to use a toothbrush to brush out any corrosion inside the charger port itself to see if it will help.

Appreciate it

Hi. As long as you dont remove the logo on the video, it should be ok. 😀

👍

Did you see it? I also searched but didn’t find it in the clip

Not sure where you would be able to find the part.

my bottom speaker got a water damage and also any recorded voice msgs sounding so muffled. I dont know where to find that bottom mic replacement part to change.

In some ways yea but also the more compact and closer everything is, the more heat is boggled up and also makes for repair jobs even more difficult. Also the battery needs some room to expand during charging and so forth. I'm not an expert in electrical engineering or how they engineer the boards, so I can't speak on the behalf of how they arrange the layout and why they couldn't make the board smaller by arranging the components and chips closer to each other. :)

I did do that on the pixel 6 pro disassembly video, you can check it out on my channel :)

@@PBKreviews Awesome. Just watched it. You now have a new subscriber. Thanks!

@@6StringPassion. thanks and you're welcome 👍

That's what am asking

You can get it from here, they are reliable and from the looks of it cheaper than the ones on ebay. www.mobiledefenders.com/oled-display-assembly-for-google-pixel-6-black.html

not sure

@@PBKreviews so I'm paying for empty spaces ;_; guess it explains why theyre able to make this cheaper vs other flagships

nope

you mean for removing the battery? isopropyl alcohol. Here is a link for one: www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/iFixit-Adhesive-Remover/IF145-400?o=4

That's what I'm wondering

@@earnistse4899 I didn't see anything that looked like one

@@LOUISVILLECARDINALS looking back it has thermal pad on the chip as well as graphene pads

@@earnistse4899 okay thanks for the info

@@earnistse4899 I just went back and looked I see what you're talking about now thanks for pointing that out

lol

@@PBKreviews It's actually pretty self explanatory because of the packaging. So it wasn't really needed. I'll give you that. Good video overall.

its soldered onto the motherboard under one of the shields.

lol

Yes hopefully soon.

Should be uploaded in the next 4-5 hrs.

It's probably because of the fact the screen sits on top of a plastic frame that borders the sides of the screen and the center is somewhat hollow but very slightly. However the glass is gorilla glass victus and is strong so there are no worries of it breaking. Also most other phones have a metal plate or backing where the back of the screen is adhered to that plate so this one doesn't do that which is another reason you may hear that hollowness when tapped on etc.

@@PBKreviews love your explanation👍

yep, I have a feeling that the screen replacements will probably come with the fingerprint sensor pre attached.

It's a System On a Chip. The entire board is apart of the CPU.

It's normal, its the OIS (optical image stabilization) for the camera.

oh lol sucks. On these, it isn't as easy to damage the screen taking them apart as most other phones, but yeah the risk is always there with phones where you have to remove the screen first.

👍😀

the iphone is too many parts that need to remove. he is maybe not too experienced to disassemble iphones. update : the iphone is expensive

I have a few, but the main reason is that a lot of people are able to get the iPhones early or right before release and they upload teardown videos on them quick so there tend to be numerous teardown videos on them and isn't worth me spending the thousands of dollars on them when I won't get many views on the videos to recoup the costs etc. Hope this explains it. But when I am able to get my hands on one early, I will definitely do a video on it. :)

@@PBKreviews Appreciate the answer and I fully understand. Thanks for this video also :)

You're welcome :)

lol

Repairability I gave a 6/10, quality of the phone is good and is an aluminum uni body so that's a plus as well.

Not sure what you are saying

Most people break the screen and screen replacements on this would be pretty simple since it opens screen side first. The rest isnt too difficult but just time consuming. But ya the charger port isnt easily replaceable.
