one of the best part is the charger port that you can replace without soldering.

It's weird watching a video on taking apart a phone while watching on that exact phone! Freaking awesome LOL

Incredibly useful and well done. Thank you for taking time to put this together and help out a lot of us amateur repair buffs.

I've done my fair share of phone repairs, so I coulda figured about half this out on my own, but I woulda messed something up without this. I'd say you saved me about 2 weeks and $250 for the fingerprint scanner swap. Thanks a million (which roughly translates to $10).

That headphone jack was unexpectedly easy to remove, I thought it would have been stuck in place like in the old Xperia Zs, or lined with a gasket like the charging port, for water resistance.

i think every gsm repair shop in the world has to pay monthly 50$ subscription to you ^^

Thanks! Gotta replace a screen and I'm glad I don't need to remove absolutely everything. This is the only Xperia 1 III disassembly video I've found on the internet. I was going to just jump into it like I do with most phones but was needing a bit of reassurance, so thanks again!

Sony are the best

Great job as always

THE BEST .. THAHK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TEARDOWN BRO ..

This is like a double-edged sword, it appears to be firmly secure and highly durable but compromises on the ease of repairability. Thanks for the teardown.

Thank you for being thorough, it helped me fix my phone. I appreciate you very much

Great video!!!!

Thanks for the video!

Perfect phone

Looks top notch built

this is far better than jerry destroys everything.

Good video!

Yess! Finally! Thank you~

Thanks. I changed my battery with no problem. I draged the black stuff out and it didn't work sadly. The adhesive pull tabs. So I had to work carefully, That was a intence moment. But at the end it wasn't that bad. But thx for the video.

Which type of adhesive do you use to reattach the back plate? Great video. Thank you.

Thanks for this! What was the music played during the reassembly? Thanks!

To replace the battery, do you also need to disassemble the motherboard? From the video, it doesn't seem necessary, they seem to be separate

FINALLY! Thank you!

Idk why you do this but I'm very glad that you do

My phone detects sim card but can't get network signal since falling in water. Any help please - took it to a shop they checked and said I need to replace the network antenna connector 'box' on the motherboard which is water damaged. Everything else works fine. Any idea where it is exactly on the teardown video and any links to buying the part online? Many thanks in advance

How easy is it to remove the duel rear camera from the main board? My shutter is malfunctioning and ive bought a replacement but i want to know as much as possible before attempting to replace it. Also thanks to the comments i need to buy the flex cable for the power button/finger sensor before I start as i bought the button thinking the "click" part would be on there 😂 really hoping i don't trash my phone trying to repair it but i don't trust any repair shops near me 😕

Thanks for the detailed video. Am I correct in assuming that I don't need to remove all the parts such as the upper board and speakers etc. to replace the battery?

I've recently had my phone screen replaced and its come back looking great but sometimes the bottom of the screen 3 icons aren't responding to touch .... last night it also went crazy and over reacting to touch. What should I do? Take it back again or ??

i was searching for xperia 1 mark 3 review :)) and i found only this :)) heheeh , you should do a review also! Great work!

i feel sad about sony xperia not in india anymore , i wish sony to make a come back to India. bullist Xiaomi phone people buy because its cheap...

Im no expert but ive seen a few teardown videos before on different phones and the build quality on this phone looks better then anything else ive seen.

Thank you, great video. At which point do you decide to change the screen? My screen is not broken or cracked. Colors are all ok. Just the top half inch or so is unresponsive. Not sure if screen replacement is the answer

Thank you for Xperia!! Now deciding between it and galaxy s20fe..

do you glue the backplate or just fit it in and it holds? wonder how

I have this phone and the right speaker is not working well. If I blow through the speaker hole it sounds sometimes. Do you think blowing some hot hair from a hair dryer could fix the problem by "bailing" the component? Do you think is it risky to do it?

Very informative video, can you tell me what brand and model of screen protector is used on the phone... Fitment looks perfect, as only covers the flat side of the screen and not the curved edges, thanks

Hi Man, Is the power Button fixed to the aluminium body with screws ? I am wondering if it is easy to breake it by pressing it hard 🤔

Instead of a camera bump, I personal don't mind having a large battery bump instead.

The battery looks simple enough to replace, would you still recommend taking to a repair man to replace for me or do it myself?

Super!!

Very good review, thanks!

Hi there, I own this phone for almost two years now and very happy with it. Two days ago thought I received a software update from SONY through the software updates notifications and as always applied the latest update, rebooted and phone was working fine for more or less 24 hours. then as I was reading some articles on google news the screen went black and the phone looked switched off. I pressed the power button and the phone powered up showing the SONY logo, and then the android boot up video, (never asked for the unlock of the sim card) asked for the android unlock number sequence and completed the boot up sequence. This had never happened before in the two years that I own this phone. So I ignored the event and continued to read the article that had left unread. 3 mins later it happened again, and I followed the same process. The phone powered up again and seemed to work fine, until five minutes later that did exactly the same thing. This time though when you press the power button the top light flashes green and the phone vibrates once, but nothing happens. if you continue to press the power button after a while it vibrates three times and flashing light goes off. As I have a lot of data on this phone which I would like not to loose, is there anything you can advice me to do? ( Tried entering recovery mode, does not respond, connection to computer, does not respond, connection to power supply, starts charging for two seconds and then vibrates once, and after five seconds vibrates three times, and continuously repeats this cycle). Thanking you in advance.

Hi was wondering how likely it would be if my phone dropped and basically just the finish got scraped off that the water proofing would be compromised. It was a corner against a basement tile floor so it was a pretty solid surface that it hit. The aluminum doesn’t seem dented but it does seem like the glass has a slight separation from the frame compared to the other side

Would have loved to see how the fingerprint sensor is taken out, as a lot of xperia users, myself included, have failing sensors

this is an exciting disassembly like the one for Asus phones, i hope you can do disassemble for one of new nokia phones like x20,

I wonder if it would be possible to upgrade the front camera since it being modular. That would be awesome.

Where to find mobile network anntena in this phone? I have signal issues and I want to replace that part

Where is signal antenna located and how to replace it?

I've been waiting for this

How long the thermal paste will last normally sir?

Wonderful smartphone and vidéo 😍 However the back get scratched easily because of dusts or others. Any method to remove that scratches on matte finish? Thanks 😊

How do you remove the LCD from the frame?

Is it possible to repair the motherboard if the motherboard is short circuit for this 1 mark iii.

As most phones damaged have a broken front display, it would be nice, to get a disassembly teardown how to exchange the front part the easiest way too.

is this battery compatible with 1 mark 2?

My antenna is broken where can I buy antenna part for my Sony xperia 1 iii?

Please could you tell me where you bought that screen protecting tempered glass because I've been trying my luck with 5 of them and all of them having black edges are too slim from the sides so they cover up part of the screen

Is it Wasser resistent after opening?

Hello. Would you repair new Nokia 105 4G or 110 4G? Thank you.

Do you know where the GPS antennas are? I got a second-hand one and GPS isn't working at all and I'm wondering whether I can fix that.

I can't get the glass back to loosen no matter how long I apply heat with a dryer. The plastic tools break down but the back glass doesn't move at all. How did he do it?

no heat sink for S888. Kind of disappointed.

I've had my phone dropped in water. Now it doesn't turn on, I've replaced the battery but still only get a red blinking led and no charge happening, still can't turn on. Any ideas what might need replacing to fire it up again as all my kids pictures etc are on there and I'd like to get them Thanks in advance.

А защита от воды IP68 осталась, после сборки обратно?

can Xperia I iii battery work in Xperia I ii

3:22 can you replace that thermal pad with thermal paste for a better cooling solution?

Why your screen has a glass screen protector? Usually the phones on the tear down table does not have anything attached to them.

Dear PBK Review I'd like to ask you a question, when you removing the proccecor Board I'm curious can you apply a thermal paste for a better cooling solution?. if so where should I apply it? on top of the metal proccecor or behind the proccecor? and how much thermal paste should I used? Thank You.

Where to buy a OLED display for this phone? Anyone has a clue ?

WOW

Can I change the from camera of the 1 ii with the 1vi

have the same phone and seeing it being unmounted makes me doubt its "waterproof" abilities, i know that the adhesive acts as a sealant but still... Do you know if it's possible to order a back plate for the same phone ? I dropped mine and i slightly cracked it, would like to change it. Would really appreciate ! Thanks ! :)

Pro I need the all part of this phone

My Xperia 1 III's power button stopped functioning, but the fingerprint scanner directly on it works just fine. Any ideas? I have no repair experience but I have built computers, so I'm wondering if it's something I could attempt to fix at home.

Oh a headphone jack. How nice

I just started working in a very thick concrete building where cell reception is extremely poor.... looking to upgrade to a phone with a good antenna. I heard last year's 5 ii had one of the best antennas ever. So I've been waiting to see whats up with the mark iii's.... Do you think the 5 iii internals is going to be the same thing as the 1 iii, just shrunk down?, including the shrinking of those antenna parts? like, would there be reason to believe that the 1 iii should give a stronger connection than the 5 iii?

hi, can you please help me how to buy one .. I'm from india and sony stopped their sales .. i couldn't find any global version too .. will the us version work here i mean like carrier issues.. please guide me

I have a sony xperia 1 iii and its so much better then the iphone 13 pro max that i had

Ah, i wanted to see how the zoom camera works 🙁

The best thing is this phone... charging port and headphone port is replaceable 😍😍

Can you explain how to use digital tester?

Доброе время суток подскажите где находится Контроллер питания на Sony Xperia 1 iii весь интернет облазил нет ни где информация

This is the china version right? Does it have mmwave antenna?

Do you repair phones in south Florida?

Are there any anti-repair shenanigans with this phone? Like part serialization or such?

I am really surprised the extent of the cooling is just thermal pads.... I wonder how hot the phone will get with use. I really appreciate the modularity of the components though, top tier repairabilty

it already disassembled. btw i want thus

Pls do it with a mark IV 😇 need to see how difficult a battery replacement would be. Nice video

Is Sony the only one who's using the thermal 'pad' (not paste)? It looks clean and perfect. I like it! :D
