Low repair difficulty, detailed disassembly of Google Pixel XL

From the perspective of various media According to the evaluation, the messages are basically positive. After all, if you look at the parameters, you can understand why.

  • 5.5 inch AMOLED display, 2560 x 1440 QHD resolution, 534ppi, 2.5D fourth generation gorilla glass

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 quad core processor, 2.15GHz+1.6GHz, 4GB LPDDR4 memory

  • 12.3 million pixels, f/2.0 aperture main camera, phase focusing and laser focusing, 8 million pixel front camera

  • 32GB or 128GB built-in storage

  • Post fingerprint identification

  • USB Type-C and 3.5mm headphone connector

  • Android 7.1 nougat

Although Google said that this generation of its own sons are completely in their own hands, from appearance design to hardware, it is undeniable There seems to be some fruit flavor, Without the physical Home key, Google has always insisted on using virtual keys, which makes the front panel look cleaner, There is a fingerprint identification module on the back and a main camera without protrusion.

The two sets of holes do not use the round holes like Apple's. They have their own characteristics. The USB Type-C interface is in the middle.

First heat the screen edge, then use a suction cup and pry to turn on the screen.

However, one bracket covers the display cable, and the screws need to be removed.

After the bracket is removed, the display screen is separated, The display screen provided by Samsung is numbered AMS546KD09.

This light and thin middle frame is probably made of magnesium, which is firmly fastened to the fuselage, There is a mysterious ribbon cable and earpiece speaker on the middle frame.

Google's battery strap is a little different from others'. You need to tear off the paper covering the battery, and then pull out the battery, The two adhesive strips firmly hold the battery, but the process of extracting the battery does not require heating.

This 13.28 Wh battery is better than iPhone 7 Plus (11.1 Wh) is larger, but smaller than the 13.86 Wh battery on the Galaxy S7 edge.

We like this modular internal structure design. All the small parts can be replaced separately, and it will not cost much.

An interconnect board with LED notification lights looks a bit like a light sensor and a microphone.

3.5mm headphone interface, iPhone 7 should be ashamed:- D

Then this is an 8 megapixel front camera.

Before entering the motherboard, it is very simple to remove the fingerprint sensor cable.

Then this is where the microphone and rangefinder are located. The rangefinder is used to activate Focus the laser on the.

The degree of modularization on is very high, which means that it is easier to repair and cheaper.

We got the main camera that Google has been touting at the press conference, which is 12.3 million pixels, but it doesn't have the optical anti shake that other high-end phones are equipped with.

Components on mainboard:

  • Red: Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 quad core processor (2 x 2.15GHz&2 x 1.6GHz), equipped with Samsung K3RG2G20BM-MGCJ 4GB LPDDR4 DRAM

  • Orange: Qualcomm PMI8996 power management IC and Qualcomm SMB1350 fast charge 3.0 IC

  • Yellow: NXP TFA9891 Smart Audio Amplifier

  • Green: Qualcomm WTR4905 LTE RF transceiver

  • Light blue: 3207RA G707A (should be WiFi)

  • Dark blue: NXP 55102 1807 S0622 (should be NFC controller)

  • Purple: Bosch sensor BMI 160 low-power IMU

Look at the back:

  • Red: Samsung KLUBG4G1CE 32GB UFS 2.0 flash memory

  • Orange: Qualcomm PM8996

  • Yellow: Anhuagao ACPM-7800 power amplifier

  • Light blue: Qualcomm WCD9335 audio codec

  • Dark blue: Scarlett SKY77807 four band power amplifier module (PAM)

  • Purple: Bosch sensor BMP280 series air pressure sensor

It is not difficult to disassemble the daughter board. It can be seen that there is a USB Type-C connector and a microphone on it, At the same time, we also found something on the sub board: a Qualcomm QFE2550 dynamic antenna matching tuner

summary

Repair difficulty: six Points* 10 points is the easiest to repair

√ Many components are modular and can be easily replaced as long as the display screen is removed

√ The battery is easy to remove

√ All screws are T5 Torx screws

× The light and thin display screen needs to be pried up during disassembly, so it will cause some damage

× In addition to the screws, the middle frame is equipped with clips that need to be pressed and fixed, which makes the disassembly process more troublesome
