  1. Rados Brzakovic Right on. quality and ingenuity.

  2. Sure nuff Zack, Nokia is doing a pretty good job with the line. Just wish they put front facing stereo speakers in their phones. I actually like the back on the 7plus nice touch and durable too. Thanks.

  3. Hey Zack, how many times have u pulled down a phone, put it back together and found something left over? Be honest,, 😀

  4. Waiting to see. Looking forward to it. Just hoping they keep the prices real. Real reasonable, that is.

  5. ReinTurtle ,I'd think you still would want a good dac because you still have headphones, just not a separate plug.

  6. Kinda amazed the small amount of adhesive used to hold the screen down. You didn't even use any heat. Or had you removed it on a practice run?

  7. Just one reason I will never by an 🍎product.

  8. Филип Пешић ,True. hell they bragged about it. Well, maybe not, the GM said, we're doing it cause wireless is the future. So hard to imagine a crumby headphone jack costing very much, and for what they charge for their products, you know they're swimming in profits.

  9. I believe HTC did put headphones in the box. And as far as 🍎 goes, wow, a dongle. Non of those little toys don't justify anything. Bottom line, prices are still too high.

  10. I guess, but how big a vibrator does a phone need? And, we are all talking 🍎s and 🍊s. All the outfits have the ability to create a nice phone, with great hardware and features. My main point was price. I think the new companies have proven that you can build a quality product, and not charge twice what it costs for production, overhead, etc and still make a nice profit. Their attitude is,,, why should we? People are still gonna buy. We have them them in our proverbial pocket.

  11. Thanks Zack, I had asked if the battery would be self replaceable. Does look doable. Does peeling the back off distort it for reuse, or do you have to buy new? Also, how expensive is the mother board, if charge port becomes sloppy? Or, would a competent repair shop be able to resolder new port? Thanks again, good video as usual.

  12. teakertown If I'm correct, once you pull the back, you can pop the plug on the battery. That will shut it down. You should probably get repair video on computer or another phone to make sure you pull correct cable.

  13. teakertown Yes I do. Just watched video and yes when u pull the back the battery cable is eligible for unplugging. Course after this amount of time, I'm sure your battery is dead. 😀 Good luck.

  14. teakertown Do like the pure. I'm not hard to please though, came from Virgin Mobile where you are stuck using the phones they offered. Switched to cricket mid last year, got the pure 32g version black no moto maker frills, but yes, with my budget the pure was it for me. Always wanted front speakers,,, and nice screen. The pure has it. If it ever gives out I'll get another with 64gb, but 32 is actually plenty, especially when I'm used to 8,,,talk about no storage. Mostly I hear good reviews. To bad Motorola sold out again. Lenovo probably won't keep the X series alive. Be nice if they did. Moto x pure 2,,,,, I could dig it. take care.

  15. Would have suggested turning over and tapping several times to dislodge any debris before pulling new glass in place. Picking wouldn't insure all particles out. Amazing u can buy that little piece of glass but guess Samsung does have extra,,, somewhere. Thanks Zack.

  16. More than likely the people did something themselves, then just blamed the manufacture.

  17. One thing though,, does it come in gloss or different colors.

  18. It is nice to see components replaceable such as battery and charge port. Gives folks who don't get a new phone every year , choice to keep or not to keep.

  19. Did look like the bottom speaker was pretty large. Course not sure how much was speaker and how much was sound box. Seemed to me, they had most space occupied. Trust me, I'm no HTC fanboy, but try to be fair. But your right about price. There's actually no reason in my thinking, for any phone costing more than 500 bucks. Hard to believe the little outfits use cheaper parts to obtain those more realistic prices.

  20. Does seem a tuff little device. Just watched a vid with drop tests. Did better than id have expected.

  21. Corinne N Really? That sucks. Makes you think they don't want us working on our own stuff.

  22. Looks like Nokia may win my next phone. Stereo speakers is the win. But certainly a rugged little booger.

  23. Hi Zach, Do love the tear down videos. Do you think it's practical to do a self tear down of the moto x pure, to replace the battery? Don't need it now but do realize that over time it will wear out. Also the charge port, same phone, you said is not replaceable. Is the component it's attached to replaceable by us, or is that something better left to pro? Thanks for all your videos, very informative. take care.

  24. Thanks Zack, that was an interesting and informative video. Really wonder though the opening the stairs to public use. Us humans have a way of screwing up so much of what nature offers. thanks again.

  25. Shawn Mendes true enough, how many phones have headphone jacks and also a decent v motor. My moto x pure has both and the one in mine is the same as they put in the Xbox one elite controller. Your right, excuses, excuses.

  26. Another little item I wonder could be added to cell phones,, a reset button. Very tiny, but very handy for all the new non removable battery phones. When rebooting totally is impossible. Just a thought.
    1
  27. Don't know though if reset buttons actually disconnect battery, or what they do.

  28. Anirudh Hasija Hi, I'd say if repairs are gonna cost near what a new phone would cost, hell get a new one. Not worth the hassle and probably never work as good as new either.

  29. So do u think they added something to the 3t to keep the screen from popping a bit as it did with the 3?
    1
  30. Very cool. Does make you realize all those tiny components. Talk about micro processors. Looks like design is a real factor with LG. Only 14 screws. Wonder how that's gonna hold up to the bend test. I have the LG stylo original, very strong phone, curious to see that one in durability test. Funny thing, only gorilla glass one, but screen seems very dense. cleans as easy as day one. Thanks Zack for the g6 tear down.

  31. Really sucks when very expensive phones skimp on things to save a buck in construction. I mean how much can a piece of tempered glass for camera cover cost vs plastic, when ur gonna charge 800 bucks for the dang thing.

  32. Love those little jabs . Flying United,,, funny.

  33. Im assuming what finally fades out to the heat from your lighter is the plastic coating that layers the glass on the screen. So maybe the new harder glass resists the flame better, even though it scratched at a 6, like most others.

  34. Laughing my arse off.

  35. Clint Justice Phone repair shop s may sell you some screws. worth a shot.

  36. Ya know,, when you think about it, cell phones are really very cool little computer devices.

  37. Hi Zack, I see you've added another tool to your tool pouch,, namely the suction cup. Good teardown.
    1
  38. Not sure any amount of adhesive would prevent a forced bend,,, seeing s the screen is separate from the keyboard. But as many people say, most of us won't force bend our phones. But yes, you'd think they would have adhered the screen, cause many people carry their phones in their rear pocket and butt bend would probably do a similar test .Butt,, ass we know, the BB is a business person phone and no business person carries their phones in their rear pocket.

  39. I know there's another phone out with that blue ish hued back glass. You're stress test showed its a tuff phone sure enough. They truly tried to cure battery problems Guess nobody wanted another note 7 fiasco. Nice tear down.

  40. Hi Zack, Do you know if replacement of the mother board is possible on cells without any connectivity issues? Inquiring cause if on my moto x pure, the charge port goes sloppy, the mother board is only fix right? Thanks, another quality tear down as usual. take care.

  41. My wondering is why the Amoled doesn't turn white like older Amoled screens. Hmm, is it 100% Amoled?
    1
  42. Geez, you can buy a brass overflow tub cover for like 12 bucks. Brass! They must not think much of the value of those awards. The material they used is what us novices call, pot metal. thick for a base, then plated. 2

  43. Hi Zack, amazing the z is so tuff with the way the build is. even the battery is not cemented in as well as most others you've disassembled. Also that's the shatterproof screen? so so thin. Super design there. Thanks.
    1
  44. Maybe when you do your teardown, u can replace the screen.

  45. Had a hunch ceramic, as cool looking as it is, is not the best finish material for a phone. Especially, as you said, the perimeter.
    1
  46. That's why I'm not a big fan of all this glass rear stuff on phones. I mean come on,, metal phone's were only worried about the screen breaking. Now we have the whole damn phone to worry about.

  47. I also like the idea of Stainless Steel frame vs aluminum, they weren't the first though. Alcatel idol 4, 4S have a Stainless Steel frame too for considerably less price. Does seem a very strong phone though but seems they have been making them that way for a while. It's a shame they're greed gets in the way of a good phone.

  48. So I'd say that 300, 000 open and closes is a guess then. As with, how many licks, it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop,,, the world may never know. Looks like a sweet phone. But still,,, No front facing stereo speakers. Come on guys,,, what's so hard about good external speakers?
    1
  49. That's why i always,, put a rugged case on my phones. Not that brand, but a two part case with a slide on glass cover. Always a good idea.

  50. Wow, it's great to see technology work along with environmentally friendly energy to create more safe beneficial products. People can at least know they're paying for a product that has been created with recycling in mind. Thanks Zach. Good to know.
