Last year, Samsung's flagship Galaxy Note7 exploded, which everyone knows, but now this Korean company has Note8 Come back, can it bring about any change this time? Note8 With a screen similar to the S8, the fingerprint sensor is also located on the back of the fuselage, so the two Samsung flagship ships are very similar in appearance.
Parameter list:
6.3 inch Super AMOLED display, 18.5:9 screen scale, 2960 x 1440 resolution, the fifth generation Corning gorilla glass
Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 6GB memory
3300 mAh battery capacity
Dual OIS dual camera, 12 megapixel wide-angle（ f/1.7 ）And 12 megapixel telephoto（ f/2.4 ）
64/128/256GB storage space, supporting microSD card expansion
S Pen, Type-C connector, 3.5mm headphone connector
IP68 waterproof and dustproof
Under the irradiation of X-ray, it can be found that the layout is quite similar to that of Note7. Next, let's take a big look.
（ See the comparison with the old version of Note7 ）
First, heat and soften the adhesive, then use the pry to insert it and pry the panel up. After opening the backplane, we saw the connecting cable of the fingerprint sensor, so we should pay special attention and be careful here. The pry should not break the cable.
Very good. The panel integrated with the middle frame/NFC antenna/PMA and Qi wireless charging coil can be easily opened with a cross screwdriver. After removing this highly integrated panel, we will remove the speakers at the bottom, and then we can see Note8 Inside the fuselage.
Like other Samsung mobile phones, there is adhesive under the battery, and we dare not heat it to soften it. After all, we are afraid of burning the battery. So here, we use glue softener, and then we can easily pry the battery open.
Note8 This battery is made by Samsung SDI, and the Note7 battery is also their own, with a capacity of 3300 mAh. Compared with Note7, the capacity is reduced by 6%. However, compared with the 3200 mAh of the old version of Note7, this annual flagship is still improving.
OK, now let's take a look at the motherboard and Note8 If you think there are many cameras in Note7, believe Note8 You will be surprised by our 4 cameras.
（ Camera on the front of the fuselage* upper With the camera on the back* lower ）
Take a look at the upper front of the fuselage. It has an iris recognition camera and an 8 megapixel front camera（ f/1.7 ）。 Let's take a look at the dual camera on the back of the fuselage. One wide-angle camera and one telephoto camera support OIS optical anti shake, which is great. The first dual OIS dual camera in history.
Now take a closer look at these parts

orange : Samsung KLUCG4J1ED-B0C1 64GB UFS flash memory
yellow : Qualcomm WCD9341 Aqstic Audio Chip
green : Scarlett 78160-11 power amplifier module
Cyan : Anhuagao AFEM-9066 power amplifier module
blue : Wacom W9018 touch IC
Turn over and look at the back
gules : Qualcomm WTR5975 RF transceiver
orange : Anhuagao AFEM-9053 power amplifier module
yellow : Scarlett 77365 four band GSM/GPRS/EDGE power amplifier module
green : Qualcomm PM8986 power management chip
blue : Murata KM7628048 WiFi module
The USB Type-C interface can be removed together with the daughter board, and the 3.5mm headphone interface is also modular, which is very good.
From the analysis of DisplayMate, Note8 This AMOLED screen is almost the strongest in active service. The iPhone 8 will also be equipped with a full screen. At present, only Samsung can provide this technology, which may also explain why the predicted price of the iPhone 8 is so high. After all, it is monopolized by one company.
Removing the screen of Note8 requires heating, and almost all the prys are used. In addition, we also found the Samsung S6SY661X, which should be a touch controller.
That's it Note8 We have broken down the details of the mobile phone. We have given the repairability score of this mobile phone 4 Points（ Full score: 10 ）。
√ Many parts are modular design and can be replaced separately, which is great
√ The whole mobile phone only uses cross screws, which is easy to remove
-Although the battery can be replaced, too much adhesive makes the process very difficult
× If maintenance is needed in the future, the screen must be removed first anyway, but the process is difficult and there are many adhesives
× To replace the display screen, first remove the glass panel and the screen itself, but they are both fragile and have a lot of adhesives
