    • 这里是Essential Phone's的一些硬件信息。

    • 高通骁龙835包括Kryo 280 Octa-core CPU 以及 Adreno 540 GPU, 4GB运行内存。

    • 128 GB UFS 2.1板载存储

    • 5.71“LCD,分辨率为2560×1312(504 ppi)

    • 具有图像融合技术的双1300百万像素后置摄像头(一个彩色 +一个单色)

    • 前置摄像头具有8 00万像素和16:9的宽高比

    • 802.11a / b / g / n / ac Wi-Fi + MIMO蓝牙5.0 LE + NFC

    • 在他们追求无边框屏幕时,Essential设法为前置摄像头和隐藏听筒挤出点空间。

    • 转到背面,我们发现这款手机的一个小东西 - 内置的两个电源磁力触点。 这就是让一些不必要的东西固定在Essential 手机上的锚点。 对于更多的承诺,到目前为止,一个360°相机是唯一可用于于Essential手机的配件

    • 模块化的智能手机系统尚未起步,但这是我们所欣赏的一种想法 - 升级单独相机模块的花费远低于更换整个手机。

    • 我们还发现一个内置的双摄像头系统,为那些需要拍摄高质量'〜180°照片的人,加上指纹传感器负责确保Essential手机的一些基本功能。

    According to my experience (with an ANCIENT Mortorolla), these thin speaker grill tend to be FILLED with dust and similar things with a high dirtiness. I do not like it.

    The 180º photo is pretty much a lie, by the way.

    • 耳机孔应该是基本的需求,但这里只提供USB-C插口,这样做很危险

    • 插口两侧为扬声器孔和SIM卡槽,以一颗麦克风。 与盖乐世S8相似的是麦克风孔和SIM卡托孔为了看上去舒服两者十分相似。

    • 这也造成了一些麻烦。

    • Essential手机也给我们在SIM卡下留下了彩蛋。 它们将所有的识别信息都放在了这个可爱的小标签上,使得手机外观上没有任何多余的信息。

    • 我们很“高兴”地发现它不能完全取出来。 难道在他们制造Essential的时候难道是围绕着这个小标签造的 ?

    Do you think it's possible to break the mic if you firmly insert a pin in the wrong hole (the one *too* close to the one to release the sim card) by mistake? That would be a very bad design...

    Pascal Forget - Yanıt

    “…and it proved to be an issue.” descriped a case…

    • 比冷还冷的是什么?超级冷!

    • 在给手机多次加热和使用锋利工具后还是没有打败粘合剂。 我们尝试使用加"冷”的方法来开始撬动。

    • 经过一番痛心的北极考察后,我们终于可以从后面的盖子上撬开它的巨大的胶粘垫,露出...

    • 什么都没有! 我们只看到了几个螺丝和一个中框组件,看来我们走错路了。 看起来像脆弱的显示屏一侧才是拆开手机正确的位置。

    I hope someone know what they are doing.

    THAT applies to BOTH of you, Essential and iFixit. (you SHOULD know the way to the insides are through the display. MAYBE…)

    • 我们仍采取冷功的战略方法,现在开始尝试撬动冻住的LCD面板。

    • 看来我们和 Essential厂商对不可或缺有着不同的定义。我们的不可或缺电子的工具套装,旨在解决所有常见的电子维修,但不足以将这个顽固的手机拆开。看来工具套装需要升级加强了。

    • 即使成功地将LCD面板撬起,内部仍然被牢牢保护着。 在所有这些工作之后,我们不得不展现出的是一个破旧的显示屏,一个空白的中框屏蔽板和显示屏背面的杂散IC:

    • 高通 QTC800S

    • 将保护玻璃与LCD面板分离是很简单的。 如果你不介意玻璃面板有一点破碎。 但我们对未来手机维修工作前景表示担忧。

    Did the “intense reinforcements” include acetone or another solvent? That might have been a less destructive way to separate the bond.

    mwarrenus - Yanıt

    I don’t really think so. most glue was either heat-softened or dissolves quickly by WATER, which will DESTROY the phone.

    I have not heard of ANY glue beside these two with the ability of being able to be removed at some point. In the fields of digital devices (ifixit.com, verge) ,the modeling and 3D printing.

    • 在手机外部历经千辛万苦后,我们提起中框,终于露出一些内部组件。

    • 我们的间谍:一个热管,接地的手指和一个带有拉伸剥离粘合剂的电池,被困在另一个支架下。

    • 加分项:伸缩胶是最可维修的粘合剂,我们希望更多的制造商采用它。 不幸的是,在这个手机 上浪费了,因为很难拆开这个手机。

    • 电池上写着11.7Wh相比之下,盖乐世S88.5的11.55 Wh,iPhone 7为7.45 Wh,一加5为12.35 Wh

    • 我们在SIM卡槽那里找到了那个小的标签。这次就可以将其很容易的取走了。 看起来手机应该是围绕着这个小家伙制造的。

    • 我们拆机过无数手机,但是这次是最热闹的一次。

    • 同时,我们移除了主板,包括半岛(佛罗里达?)充电接口,USB-C接口直接与主板相焊接。我们很失望。

    • 如果您需要更换这种零件,则需要(昂贵的)微型焊接工作或(非常昂贵的)全主板更换。

    • 移除板子。

    • 主板背面采用天线互连电缆和同轴连接器。

    The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact had an even bigger tag like this.

    Moritz - Yanıt

    yes exactly, sony have been using these tags to hide the regulating symbols for years now.

    Paul Chan -

    You're right! Good call. We updated the step ;)

    Jeff Suovanen -

    The vacant coaxial connectors are likely switched test connectors that break the on-board RF connection when a test probe is inserted. These are frequently used for RF calibration without needing a costly anechoic OTA calibration environment.

    joshshua - Yanıt

    For now, I do not remember ANY phone that have a charging port NOT soldered to a board. Not a single one of them.

    It tend to be the OTHER way aroudn when speaking of bigger things…like, the iPads.

    What is the name of this SIM card reader? I want to try replacing it, but am having a hard time identifying what it is called and where to get it from.

    • 高通公司发布了一款针对骁龙 835的开发套件,让我们很期待。 这是我们发现的芯片:

    • 三星 KLUDG8V1EE-B0C1 128GB UFS

    • 高通 PMI8998 PMIC

    • 三星 K3UH5H50MM-NGCJ 4 GB LPDDR4 mobile DRAM

    • 高通 WTR5975gigabit LTE 收发器

    • 高通WCN39902x2 802.11ac Wi-Fi与MU-MIMO配套

    • 高通 WCD9335 音频解码芯片 (与 WCD9311相似)

    Samsung K3UH5H50MM-NGCJ should be "LPDDR4x" which uses lower voltage than LPDDR4.

    JJ Wu - Yanıt

    Who came up with the UFS model number? It's a lot better than a "KLUDG[E]" if you know what I mean.

    • 在冻完主板之后,我们终于可以取出双摄模块。

    • 不是Essential手机不小心把摄像头连接线放在了背面,就是有人像折纸一样把它折了过来。

    • 在附近,自拍摄像头在一条胶上,需要点努力才能把它取下来,把距离传感器的线缆连带地取下来。

    • 惊喜!前置摄像头和听筒是一体的。这个微小的器件横着放在极窄的手机顶部。

    • 振动器的顶盖(字面上看起来像帽子(外国人的梗)),我们感到惊讶的是,这些部件之间没有橡胶阻尼。

    • 振动器似乎是标准的“”煎饼式”马达,比通常的要高一点。

    • 最后的元件:扬声器和其接触电缆。

    • 形状十分奇怪,看起来扬声器是为了填补手机空余的空间。

    This type of vibration motor is properly called a "coin" or "button" vibration unit, not a "cap". -- PvdL

    Peter van der Linden - Yanıt

    Douchey things I just read in the comment before mine:

    - Correcting the author of the teardown for improperly calling it a cap when he only referred to it looking like a cap.

    - You quoted yourself

    - Referring to yourself as "PvdL"

    Andy Salinas -

    The cap reference is to the vibrator cover being pulled off in the first photo, rather than the vibrator itself, which lies underneath. It's a coin vibrator, with a cap.

    Jeff Suovanen -

    Oh Peter… your comprehension skills are quite lacking read it again you mongoloid. “De-capping the vibrator" which any competent person can see with the enhanced ease of understanding through included pictures shows him literally removing a small metal cap that encased the vibrator not your simpleton interpretation of which you confuse that for him calling the vibrator itself a cap.

    nsa.spy.gov -

    I came here to just make fun of him.

    • 模块化夹式附件的磁铁被整齐地标记。 他们很难被更换,但没关系,在700年左右的时间里,磁力是不会消失的。

    • 没剩下多少东西了,指纹传感器被完美地粘在了手机的别面,这也带来了许多缺点,但很快地这么做成了手机产业的标准。哎,好吧。

    Funny thing about the 1st picture here, the purple word below the magnets is a Chinese word which means 'Party', CCP to be specific.

    I HATE the guy that put the finger print sensor on the phone’s back. The person that came up with this MUST have his head bumped, or he do not know what he is doing.

    • 这就是Essential Phone最基本的部件,这个比我们想象的要复杂。这也比我们想象的“冷”很多。

    • 欣赏一下这张照片,当我们把冬季外套拿出来并给拆解室除霜。

  15. Son Düşünceler
    • 全部螺丝都是标准的Phillips/JIS紧固件。
    • 电池被易拉胶固定,方便维修。但是不好的是根本到不了那一步。
    • USB-C被焊在主板上,没有提供耳机接口。
    • 几乎没有的缝隙和超多的粘合剂非常容易维修变成破坏。
    • 我们刚才提没提到我们必须要冻它才能拆开?

wow horrific phone! 10/10 to iFixit for effort, 0/10 to Essential!

Will - Yanıt

This is a phone where iFixit will have to determine if it's even worth selling replacement parts.

iPostIt - Yanıt

the repair score should imo get a zero instead of a 1 because you cant open the %#*@ thing without destroying it.

My1 - Yanıt

this phone is essentially future trash. too bad

thanks iFixit for the honest repair score!

Andrew - Yanıt

Why a phone is bad because independent repairs are almost impossible?

OEM has been moving to proprietary components and outta-nowhere configuration to have on purpose to un-motivate people to go to beyond the warranty and authorized repair centers, since YEARS ago.

I appreciate the work from iFixit but saying that you won't buy a phone or it is "DOA" because OEM wants to control THEIR products is so childish at theses modern days.

(Please, spare me the "is easy for you to say because you don't own or work on a workshop and repairs give food to our tables". I know a few owners that although s just more spending, they are working on becoming authorized repair center for most brands.)

TheGeeZus - Yanıt

When you have to freeze a phone to get it open, that's a new level of WTF.

JJ Davis -

ifixit gives repairability scores, this isn't a review of the phone. That people still don't get this and come to this site to complain about it is beyond me.

tipoo -

Sure, an OEM can control THEIR products. And I can decide not to buy THEIR products if their design is un-repairable. One little drop, splash or sit on it in my back pocket one time too many and it's toast... yeah, they can control their product all the way to bankruptcy court if that's where it takes them. You make it sound like I'm obligated to buy THEIR product - I am not. Thank you iFixIt for yet another informative teardown!

R. Andrew Thomas -

It's a repairability score man, not a condemnation of the phone itself

Akko -

When manufacturer wants me to spend 300$ on replacing the usb port instead of 30$ due to poor design decisions or just to cut down the manufacturing costs they no longer could be considered good in any way.

Smartphone is not something you use for a few days and then toss it to trash replacing with a new one, it's an increasingly complex and expensive portable computers that should be as serviceable as possible.

Alex Lee -

If you're such a big fan of unnecessary electrical waste, I assume it's OK if I dumb a few tons of heavy elements in your back yard?

Repairability is not just about an individual saving a few dozen bucks here and there, but also about environmentalism. The more repairable common electronics are, the longer they stay in use by someone, somewhere, the less waste generated from buying new devices that are just marginal upgrades from the previous.

Ståle Helde -

Thank you for your support, TheGeeZus! It's nice to hear that you enjoy our work, and you bring up a great point about ownership and repair as well. You can find some fantastic information at both ifixit.org/right and repair.org/stand-up.

Richard -

Thing is, it’s not THEIR product when you buy it. It’s not a license agreement. Do not repair is nothing other than a way to force us to get new products and giving them more money. Best practice should be to be able to repair a device that you own.

Sebbe -

Designed to trash.. Like most other consumer electronics. Try and take a look at 99% of the appliances in your homes, most of them are designed to fail and spare parts are unnaturally high cost to encourage new purchases. And as long as the consumers doesn’t make a conscious decision to choose not to buy the goods with low repair-ability, then the manufacturers will keep on refining the “if only 90% makes it past warranty period it’s fine” mentality, that constantly tries to ensure more $@$* can be sold.

I mean.. there’s people that gladly spends more on throwaway gadgets than they would comfortably spend on car maintenance, and still think it’s sad that no one is doing more for the environment. Sadly most people are happy as long as the medias keep numbing their intellect with “don’t think” TV-shows, that keeps them pacified and not thinking for themselves.

Lundberg -

Do you know what it means to live in countries with no official stores? in parts of Africa and Asia? The nearest official Samsung Store is two countris away. Nearest apple store is 5 countries away. Warranties from companies mean nothing to us; those companies do not even ship to our countries! independent repairmen save us from so much.

You have no idea what we go through so do not judge us for needing such

Kanyesigye -

You are buying their products.

You own them.

The owner should have all right to repair as needed.

Luis Gonzalez -

The IMEI and other certifications in sim tray is nothing new.. My Lumia 920 had it in 2012!

mvadu - Yanıt

One of my old moto e's had it as well. 2015 I think.

Caspar Caudill -

No one going to comment on the lyric mistake? "What's cooler than being cool? Ice cold!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qMtsir0...

kirk - Yanıt

It's called parody.

dgw -

I think Essential set out to do what most people try to do - keep people out of the phone. No company wants someone to get in their product lol

westsidepatriot - Yanıt

Not an option for most part of Africa and possibly Asia. We depend mostly on local repair shops as the cost of exploiting a warranty is almost impossible. Who wants to mail a phone from Nigeria or Uganda to a service centre in the US or UK? Essentially, this phone is not for some of us.

Abbas Abdus-salam - Yanıt

I am surprised that people expect highly-integrated, ultra-miniaturized electronic devices to be repaired nowadays. It's like trying to tear down a microchip and repair the transistors inside it, just because 50 years ago you could replace the fried transistors on a board performing the same functions as the today's microchip. This is the price paid for miniaturization, for bezel-less phones, for large batteries. Instead, there is warranty, there is insurance, etc. Things have evolved and ironically, the evolution has been dictated by us, customers, the ones that are now complaining :)

Dennis James - Yanıt

Demonstrably false. 2017 phones are not significantly different on the inside than 2012 phones,and lots of 2012 phones are extremely easy to repair with inexpensive parts you can order om eBay. I just recently repaired a nexus 5 with a busted USB port, worn out battery shattered camera glass and very ugly back cover for just 25 bucks. The difficulty of repair in phones is mainly because certain manufacturers insist on using pretty materials instead of durable materials. When a phone isn't even waterproof, there is no good reason to make them difficult to open, other than to make them difficult to repair so that they can sell you a brand new phone instead of you replacing a 5 dollar USB port.

Ståle Helde -

Spoken like someone who would pay extra to be able to upgrade a phone every 6 months. Believe it or not there are still a lot of us who buy for the long term. For people like me self repair or local shops are the only way to go. I have had 2 phones in the last eight years and I really appreciate these tear downs. They can actually be a deciding factor in which phone I purchase.

You have obviously not worked all that much, I could be wrong but don't think so, with electronic devices. Usually it is not the miniaturized parts that go bad first rather the battery or the connectors. And these are parts that most people handy with small tools can replace.

Thanks iFixit for your work.

protagonistic -

Why go through the back.

If you look at the Essential website they show an exploded view assembly and clearly you need to go through the front.

The motherboard is remove by front facing screws. You can't do any motherboard repair without getting the screen off first.

denae cole- shephard - Yanıt

Mainboard is made by Multek a company of Flextronics

Peng - Yanıt

I'm curious about that when the Essential Phone is in Warranty and send it back to the Essential company, how do they fix it?

Mandy - Yanıt

@Mandy: Since it's a "startup", you won't be able to get proper service anyhow (like OnePlus). So if you battle through the 1000 challenges, they will simply replace the entire device most likely. But, just like OnePlus did/does, I think Essential will also try to change every claim into non-warrantial. I.e.: "Don't even ty to send it back."

Enjoy! I love underdogs, but this is one fat reason why one would dislike them. This is why I bought Huawei, and before that, Samsung. But I also had HTC, they all had repair centers all around Europe. And they were all really professional and cool with the repairs. !&&*, if I walk into Huawei they do almost all work within hours, it's crazy good and professional.

A анонимный - Yanıt

OnePlus was not a start-up company, please stop perpetuating this myth.

qwirked -

I bought mine about three weeks before the price drop and they just credited $200 back to my credit card without being asked. Also, my other phone had bitten the bullet. I ordered it on Saturday, emailed them on Sunday asking them to rush it along if possible and they responded immediately on a Sunday, and it shipped Monday. Now my verizon/motorola phone that had a defective screen was a nightmare to get supported because neither company knew who was responsible.

Raymond Ferguson -

"Essential" is a joke in my opinion.

Julian Fiallo - Yanıt

hi

is it a chip exactly upper than Fresco Logic FL1100-1A0-LX USB 3.0 host controller?(or i mis-steakin?)

and abut how repairable is this phone: well it is kinda bad that you need a lot of work to fix it but think from different angle, it will be more shock prof than almost every other phone!

to metal plate supporting internal components!

and most likely if you send it for warranty they will replace it with new one!

Mojarch - Yanıt

this is what happens when a software expert decides to go into hardware without consulting the big dogs in the business... the result is an essential phone without essential features and repairability.

Ezekielo Tech Vlogs - Yanıt

Muito bom, Parabéns à equipa.

NPimentel - Yanıt

These teardown videos are great. In short, before buying any device anyone should watch a teardown of it. If not available, skip the product altogether unless you want to make a teardown video of your own (if and when time comes) and risk non repairability of the device. Much like car industry must provide maintenance manuals and perform safety tests (of which videos are available) there should be also a law about portable devices which requires all manufacturers to provide teardown videos and repair manuals. There is so much talk about “greening”, “sustainability”, “eco-friendly”, “care for the planet” but sounds to me it’s mostly greenwashing. Want to cut reduce drastically the speed at which we consume resources that go into making electronics? Allow anyone willing to repair and keep their old devices to do so providing info and parts. There’ll be always those who buy new every year or so (that’s here to stay). Those of us who prefer conserving and responsible consumption should be allowed to pursue it.

freakqnc - Yanıt

Um…Essential stated that you need a suction tool to remove the display properly after heating it up. It was in one of the AMA’s they did on Reddit. I think you should revisit this in the idea of being fair and unbiased.

Jeff Warner - Yanıt

Can you re-do this since essential confirmed you did it incorrectly. Here is a link on how to actually do it:https://www.reddit.com/r/essential/comme...

Gabriel Williams - Yanıt

Jeff and Gabriel, the purpose of the teardown is a first glance repairability assessment using the tools and knowledge available at the time (you’ll notice we published this a couple months before that AMA). Essential had no public repair manual so we had to improvise with the tools we had available. As stated we did try heat first (“After applying more heat and sharper tools than might be advised, we reverse the polarity and start chilling out.”). If you watch our video teardown at the top of this page you’ll see that our video team had a better time with heat and a razor—but still broke their display, so unfortunately the score stands.

Sam Goldheart - Yanıt

Then something should be added at the start to keep people from claiming the device is unfixable and cite you. Because the device is pretty repairable, but no one does research past you. Giving a false idea of the device.

Jeff Warner -

We’d love for you to post repair manuals and prove us wrong! ;)

Sam Goldheart -

you guys are a fraud. You opened this up in the worst way possible. Get some heat and suction and pull that baby off

Chester Davos -

We probably could have emphasized this more in the teardown, but: all the heat and suction we could throw at it did nothing to weaken the adhesive. And we used a lot more heat than we’ve used on other devices—enough to cook the display, and probably just short of blowing up the battery and aborting the entire teardown. Can it be repaired? Sure, but they’ve made it about as difficult as anything we’ve ever seen in the smartphone realm. And we’ve dismantled plenty of stubborn phones. The second unit we received came apart more easily, so I’m not sure how to explain that (manufacturing variances?), but our initial experience was not good.

Jeff Suovanen -

Real biased teardown. My thought is you were paid to do such a horrible job to deflect a good phone from competition. Here is a easy fix where you failed and still fail to update, why? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCKxAQXd...

Jon Nagel -

Jon, the teardown has been updated to more thoroughly explain the process we went through. It doesn’t change the fact that the phone is assembled with extremely tough glue, and there’s a high probability of destroying the display en route to attempting any repair. That earns it a low score, at least on the initial release. It’s easy for someone else to post a nice clean procedure two months after our teardown, but when you are probing your way into a phone like this on day one with zero guidance, it’s not as easy as it may sound. This teardown reflects that experience.

Jeff Suovanen -

You want a phone that wouldn't need to be repaired before you want a new phone. Now, you can satisfy your curiosity with a teardown. Modern components are generally reliable to last until then. The only thing that fails is the battery. And that is not much of a contribution from the phone manufacturer.

Debasis Goswami - Yanıt

The thing that most people break are screens. Shattered screens are super annoying and are pretty easy to get off on lots of phones. On new iPhones, you just have to heat up the waterproofing adhesive before opening it (6S and above). Same thing with many more phones. You shouldn’t have to do… this.

Liam Powell -

You don't have to do this Fixez.com on YouTube had a much better guide for the teardown it's easier than an iPhone screen replacement.

David Baudin -

You guys should redo this teardown the right way instead of misinforming consumers. Fixez.com did a video on YouTube where all they did was great up the screen and removed it to access the internals. It's one of the simplest teardowns I have ever seen.

David Baudin - Yanıt

Yep, makes these guys look like amateurs

Chester Davos -

Seriously? You guys still haven’t fixed this? Ridiculous. It’s almost liek you’re getting paid to push certain phones down or something…

There are multiple videos of people getting it without damaging the device at all. Redo the guide and admit you messed up.

Jeff Warner - Yanıt

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_conti...

Gauntlet thrown.

After watching Fixez’s video, I can’t help but feel that ifixit overly dramatized this teardown in order to get headlines. Time for a revisit and perhaps some humility.

Anthony Larson - Yanıt

I agree but surmise this as unlikely. This was a hatchet job from the get go.

So if the goal is to replace a cracked screen what makes this so hard to accomplish? Obviously the issue with damaging the screen to get into the phone isn’t an issue if that’s what you are replacing. Or did I miss something?

Beyond appalling and embarrassing to make this phone look as bad as you did just because you wanted to be quick and/or brute force your way in. Seems like you are becoming a shill these days. This phone as others have said looks like one of the easiest ones to open or repair. This is why your site has gone to garbage and is why people steer from otherwise good devices. I’m glad I did research instead of believing your lies. Step it up admit you were wrong and redo this properly and stop making good phones seem bad just because of the cheaper price tags.

Full disclosure: I don’t even have this phone, never owned it. I’m simply seeing how your site has gone to waste lately.

As shown in the video at the top and in the display replacement guide for this phone, we’ve gotten ahold of some additional Essential Phones that were much better behaved. It’s possible this teardown unit was a production-line anomaly of some kind (we got it very early, before almost anyone else). It was seemingly impervious to heat and suction, the back panel came off first despite equal force being applied to the front, and we froze it out of desperation after everything else failed. Long story short, we were disappointed and the whole experience sucked. I’m glad to see others have had a better experience. Regardless, I’ve worked on nearly every flagship phone on the market, and Essential Phone is far from “one of the easiest ones to open or repair”—even with practice, it’s tricky to open without destroying the display.

@jeffsu So how many of normal users repair their own phones? Any data to give some importance to your “repairability score” other than attempt to sell your DIY kits through Fry’s? I don’t see a point in this whole repair drama(other than coming here to understand what part numbers are used) as most of us thrash our phones(when we upgrade) and recyclers don’t care about opening them gently either. To all those complaining, how many easy to repair phones you have fixed yourself?

Head on over to iFixit.org if you want to learn more about why repair matters. As for “recyclers don’t care about opening them gently,” you should visit a recycling facility sometime.

I personally think the Repairability score should be higher (based on how far I got with the repair). I am by no means a professional phone fixer, but I have experience. I was able to disassemble two essential phones without damage to the screens, and swap the motherboards, as well as all parts ended up still working (I tested every part). I heated the phone, and was careful with my fingernail to get the adhesive off after lifting with the suction cup. It took awhile but if you’re careful, you will be fine. Other than the screen, the rest was a breeze to replace the motherboard. I’d rate it about a 5/10, as it is still hard, but by no means should someone avoid repairing their phone because of the low score given.

it is much easier to open the front screen using heat rather than cold.

I sent two essential phones, one each to two friends, to Uganda. the first one’s cat knocked it off a shelf onto a concrete floor, I sent him a new screen, and a phone repairman in a mall replace it easily while he waited. A few months later, he had a motorcycle accident, broke the screen again, through a heavy duty case this time, as it hit a rock when he went down, I sent him another screen, he had it installed at a different kiosk, also with no trouble, and the phone's working just fine.

Are you serious did know and try a suction cup? Mine came off easily with just a suction cup? The glass was not shattered however the display failed after a large impact I was quite surprised it was all still intact yet the LCD was damaged below. Maybe the drop knocked it a bit loose but it was quite simple to stick up suction cup at the very top right corner and pull.

I feel better about delaminating the display assembly just now… It still works, except for destroying all of the pixels right where the Android notification bits are in portrait orientation. Maybe that’s not so bad.

Maybe because my phone has been welded together with adhesive since early 2017, the battery did not want to come out. It laughs at your stretchy-glue encouragement. Those foil chunks glued to the battery are probably the dismembered corpse of the NFC antenna.

Fingerprint assembly likewise: the cable came out via an ablative maneuver. In pieces.
