We unleash a multi-headed heat-gun serpent—we named it Pat—which blasts through the curved display's IP68-rated adhesive.

There is one last big secret we need to explore to give Huawei's newest fighter a ranking—the 3120 x 1440 pixel, 19.5:9 ratio (~538 ppi density) display!

For the numbers fans: the iPhone XS has 2436 x 1125 pixels (~458 ppi), the XS Max has 2688 x 1242 pixels (~458 ppi), the Pixel 3 XL has 2960 x 1440 pixels (~523 ppi), and the S9+ has 2960 x 1440 pixels (~529 ppi).

An opening pick or eleven dramatically improves this smartphone's aerodynamics, and helps us pry up the display.
