Dude. Who on god’s green earth woke up one day and was like “Yep. Non replaceable type C port”
*Even EVIL Apple have more mercy with it!*
@@mikeo2321 in a very controlled environment probably that’s how it should work but some people damage the port with other objects on accidents , I don’t think it’s excusable to have non repairable USB C port
@@CalmSnow_ Yeah, i get that point.
Me
At least you could still charge it wireless
I been searching for this video for few days, thank you!
Welcome!
Avoid trying to remove a battery with a spudger or a metal tool yourself like he did, as there is a risk the battery could spontaneously ignite if punctured.
That’s why you don’t puncture it, you make sure to angle the tip of the tool under the battery down at the frame. It’s not hard buddy.
Nope, wrong, he is using plastic, and LIGHTLY prying on it. Disagree 110%
amazing chanel i really want more of this...this days only are youtubers showing "buy,buy" but this info its really important
Amazing channel! You tear down almost every single model. Irrespective of price range and release market. Thank you!
I can see your phone on eBay being sold. Very smart move.
That screen removal is a bit worrisome. Hopefully, someone will post a full repair guide before I need to replace any parts. Could be that I decide to replace the battery as well, if I crack the screen in a few years.
there’s probably gonna be a bunch of iFixit videos, since google partnered with them.
i mean he didnt touch it with a heat gun full on just prying it off is not the right way to do it. beyond dumb,
@@jayrobyn5124 google said they improved repairability with Pixel 8 lineup so we, normal humans don't usually have heat guns at home.
@@kerpl0p you use a hair dryer instead at that point.
@@jayrobyn5124 its better than nothing but most likely won't be enough, or will require a lot of time.
The difference between you and Jerry rigs is that you gave a detailed breakdown of all the parts and explained the different parts. Keep up the great work 💯 you just gain a new follower
Thanks 👍
Jerry rig everything is better
What’s crazy to me is how we are still gluing batteries down. You can easily have a cushion pad behind the battery, then 2 plates (top and bottom) that screw down and hold the battery in. You can make the screws hold other components as well.
adhesive is not the problem. they can use good pull pouches like Xiaomi and similar companies use which can be reused. those are really easy to pry off and attach a new battery down to so no need for screws even.
Why not go back to old school and make the battery changeable without having to carve your phone up... I guess it's like motor vehicles now you either don't have the special tools or it's only repairable by the manufacturers 🤠
Excellent video. I think that the screen and the battery will be the most frequent elements to change between now and a first intervention. I hope the Pixel 8 Pro battery lasts for at least the next 5-6 years...
You always do the most commendable work , This is truly a joy 🎉💫
Thank you :)
@@PBKreviews ❤️
Most underrated channel
Nice video ! Is not having a vapor chamber or other cooling solution worrying for the longevity of the device?
Longevity? No, overall performance especially heavy load task like video capturing/gaming? Definitely
@@boleds4316 Vapor chambers are a marketing gimmick. It sounds cool but it performs no better than graphite pads and has more drawbacks as it can actually fail inside of the phone. Look up the ifixit article on the matter.
@@boleds4316I think it’s fair to assume if it has a difficult time remaining cool for heavy tasks/loads, then longevity might be an issue.
You rock. Thanks!
You're welcome!
You are awesome thank you so much for doing this
Thanks 👍
very use full video thank you so much sir for your time ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you and you're welcome
Can you check what camera sensors they are using? Seems to be a bit of confusion what the main sensor is. G1, G2 or something else
yeah that would be great, some website said it's a gnv sensor but google didn't tell them exactly
This is what I watched the video for and why I'm in the comments now. What sensor???
Probably GNV. No official communication about that but it's almost sure
Wondering how graphene pad compares vs vapor chambers in terms of heat dissipation
ifixit had an article a few years back when Samsung was using a vapor chamber in some Note 20 Ultras and a graphite pad in others. The thermal engineer they reached out to said "There is little difference in performance between [vapor chambers] and the graphite. As long as you take the gap tolerances into consideration, it can be simple enough to swap them out for each other.” He also mentioned drawbacks of vapor chambers stating “at these thicknesses, the VCs are a little delicate during installation. Any little crimp, dent, or bend can cause one to fail.” Plus, “if you heat them up just a hair past the limit, they will swell like a balloon. You can imagine what can happen to a phone.”
Also two years ago, Andrei F from anandtech (a site once known for incredible testing methods on devices) said graphite is better than vapor chambers in a now deleted tweet.
So...based on these two things, I'd say graphite pads are actually a better solution.
as far as a graphene pad vs vapor chamber, the vapor chamber would be better, but 3D graphite which is multiple layers of graphite seems to handle just as well as seen from prior tests by other reviewers back when samsung started using 3D graphite in their phones vs vapor chambers. But not samsung has gone back to vapor chambers for the most part.
How much microphone inside the pixel 8 pro,
Is it possible to remove them and still that the phone can operate.
It's there any thermal chambers to help with overheating?
Hello, I really appreciate your videos. I would like to have your opinion regarding changing the battery. Do you think that any repairer will be able to change the battery, or you should ask to have the future battery change done by Google, if there are distribution centers of course...
most people who have knowledge in repairing phones should be able to do it. 👍
What caused screen to fail after reassembling?
I hoped the teardown will reveal the main camera model. If it is Samsung Isocell GNV or something different.
I think it's GNV
Hallo :) PBKreviews , camera sensor is GN1 mod. or GNV? Thanks
Hi, I'm not too sure
and whats yours personal opinion?@@PBKreviews
Thank you again for this
👍 you're welcome
How did you damage the screen? Too much bending on pulling or did the pick clip something? Helpful to know what to look out for as I like to DIY replace my battery every 3 years or so
I must have clip the flex cable for the screen from the bottom where it meets the display or somewhere else when working my way around not realizing that I had separated the screen from the plastic border rather than the frame of the phone. For some reason on the 8 pro, the plastic boarder was adhered to the frame stronger vs the screen to the plastic border. On the 8 it was a breeze and didn't have any issue with it.
@@PBKreviews Thank so much for the detailed explanation.
you're welcome
My Samsung A71 overheat and draining after changing display. What should I do ?
Awesome PBK! Are you able to see a part number on that thermometer? I am very curious about the stats on that component!
Thanks. I wasn't able to see any part number for it unfortunately.
If I'm not mistaken, it's Melexis MLX90632. Belgium company.
wich is best smartphone for 20k sir
شكرا جزيلا على مراجعة القطع الداخليه
You're welcome
Wow great video.... I enjoyed watching every second way better than the way Jerry rig everything does his... This more tech and professional oriented
Thanks!
Same, jerryrig is more for entertainment. Tho I like this better-
@@tierdropp7544 liEk a liTTuL lEgOoOoOoooo 😠
thanks for this. I would love if u can do battery endurance test compared to other phones
You're welcome
It's been a while since i wach some of your video. Internet was ban here in India Manipur for terrorist attack from Myanmar.
Oh sorry to hear. Thanks for watching :)
Pls compare the camera with 7 pro
Where is a reputable place to get a replacement screen and the tools
Hello 👋 Friend Excellent Video today's Cell Phones in Repair Sunday 😁🙏❤️📱🇻🇪🇺🇲🗽
Hi, thank you
I believe there's an improved ToF sensor in 8 Pro. Should have focused on that too. It literally makes Pixel's af so damn fast.
Rumored. Is there actually a new one?
Not that I saw, don't even see it listed in their specs.
@@PBKreviewsI don't know if Google ever list tof sensors. But even the 7/7 pro have one.
@@LinhNguyen101010 It is listed in the tech specs. Go to the official pixel 8 pro page then > Tech specs > scroll down to "Rear camera" > then in the last 3 lines of the rear camera specs all the sensors are listed, among them is the new ToF sensor: Multi-zone LDAF (laser detect auto-focus) sensor.
It calls LDAF not Tof
@PBKreviews what about Nokia G42 for a drop test, splash test and full Disassembly ?
There have been many videos on the teardown of that phone, and since the phone doesn't really have any rugged features, and only has gorilla glass 3, it wouldn't really stand up well against a drop test so most people wouldn't even be interested in seeing it. Compared to the nokia xr21 drop test I did which barely got views, I wouldn't see this model doing any better. :)
Did anyone see what modem they are using in there?
Good stuff thanks for sharing ✌️❤️🍻
👍 you're welcome
Were you able to deduce the camera sensor? Is it the GNV as recently rumoured?
Not sure since I am not an expert when it comes to the camera sensors, but I posted a picture of the detail on the flex cable with the part numbers if it would help someone figure out.
@@PBKreviews Thanks. We appreciate what you're doing! Really enjoy the vids!
Hey Google, Poland is the European economic tiger in the European Union. Why, Google, do you forget about my country and I have to go to neighboring Germany because there is no Pixel distribution in Poland?
Why did you put copper tape over the AP and cover it with thermal paste
huh? not sure what you mean
Does Google pixel 8 pro sounds from back camera when you shake the phone ?
Its normal, its the OIS/camera assembly
When pixel will add repleceable charging port? And why they removed it?! Pixel 1, 2, 3 and 4 had repleceable charging port. Why it's not here?
So they can charge you $300-$500 for a motherboard replacement instead of a $10 ribbon cable.
@@angleisthebest yes. I am angry that Pixel does have unreplecable charging port
@@Kotka_mechaniczna vote with your wallet and don't buy it then. They don't deserve to get any money for their anti-repair behaviour.
This tear down is 100x more useful than Jerry Rig Everything. Thanks for the video.
you're welcome
Lies, Jerry rig everything is better
Thanks
👍
Good job.
We need more isopropyl alcohol to replace the batteries. Why did they use so much double-sided tape?
Replacing the USB-C port is not possible at home, which means it is time-consuming and expensive.
Thank you for this material. To top it all off, someone do a comparative battery drain test from 100% to 0% with an iPhone and S23+ or S23 Ultra.
Because Google doesn’t want you to fix your own Pixel phones.
Crappy company
👍
What is the black shadow that reflects the camera glass?
not sure what you are referring to
Nice
👍
Amazingly, they added large area vapor chambers underneath the screen and the battery finally to partly resolve the overheating problem of their Tensor SoC made by Samsung. I have bought it.
Unfortunately, it's C shape mainboard is vulnerable, while most advanced phones use the separated mainboard design instead.
There is no vapor chamber in this phone.
@@PBKreviews only some primitive thermally conductive material (the black parts)? No chamber on the back of that screen?
It's just copper tape
@@samernabeel5971isn't it graphite? That's what I heard, just wanted to know more
They used copper tape in the area behind the screen.
Were you able to see what modem it has?
The model number for it is g5300i from what it shows on the phone hardware info app.
As before, the heat dissipation design still doesn't look great. Perhaps the lower Big Core operating clock than the Exynos 2300 on which the Tensor G3 is based is due to the lower heat capacity design.
Pls do battery drain test from 100 to 0
I was hoping to see the charging coils to see exactly where they lie. I'm guessing they might be under the large shiny black rectangular shape visible at the end of the teardown (around the 10 minute mark).
Yes its the back center of the phone. If you put a large circle ring around the entire black portion, that entire area would have coils.
@@PBKreviews Appreciate the reply, thanks!
Can we disassemble from the back of the phone too?
nope not possible
Dear google.. why would you boast about sustainability and repairability and then making irreplaceable USB C port.
Not a big deal if you're a repair shop, but not easy for a home repair.
I'm more concerned about the amount of adhesive used on the battery, hopefully it's not a big deal once you heat it up.
Could you figure out if its an optical or an ultrasonic fingerprint reader?
As mentioned in the video, its optical :)
Ah, thanks. Didn't get that. Just heard you say fingerprint reader..👍
👍
Good
👍
optical finger print reader? I thought they were using ultrasonic this time?
nope, maybe next time lol
Hello...PBK, can you make a camera comparison video between pixel 8 pro vs iPhone 15 pro max.. i heard that this time pixel received auto focus in selfie shooter .. just wanted to see if that makes any noticeable changes or is it just a gimmick 😅
Hi, I don't have a iphone 15 pro max at the moment to be able to do a comparison, sorry.
@@PBKreviews that is okay... Thanks for the response ☺️
You're welcome :)
At least ill know i will own the phone and can reolace my own screen easy enough. Cause if im replacing the screen thats because its already broke so wont be bothered how i get it off.
Yup, for already damaged screens, should be simple
Whoever designed the battery pull tabs. Certainly didn't think it through. 😂
yup, even if it's meant to be done a different way, the directions on the pull tab aren't very clear.
Ultrasonic fingerprint or optical?
optical
Ip với sam sung nó làm mặt lưng chìm vào trong khung nên nó sang hơn
What a beautiful phone.
👍
I think the third sensor in the camera array is laser focus, maybe?
should be the ambient light sensor or color sensor, the laser auto focus looks different if I'm not mistaken.
I think it was the Spectral and flicker sensor. I think the new Multi-zone LDAF (laser detect auto focus) sensor is between the primary camera and ultrawide, near the secondary microphone behind the camera bezel. He point at the microphone at 10:04 mark.
yeah probably, I should have pried off the other portion from the inside to show. Usually from the outside those sensors are visible under certain angle of light but for some reason I couldn't see anything so didn't think there would be anything important on that side to show.
Try to S23 FE teardown test repaired
soon
Why is there a green line on the screen at the end of video??
If you watch the video, especially in the beginning after I am prying the screen off, I explain :) I damaged the screen/cable when prying it off
Bro Need Detailed Camera Video
Was hoping for ultrasonic finger print reader this time, bummer
yup
How does this guy know how to disassemble EVERY phone in the world
Now some people will use this video to make a picture that pixel 8 pro has green line issue.
lol, yep. I mean it was very sensitive, so hopefully drops and such won't cause the flex cable to act this way, even though I did a drop test and it worked fine no issues until I took it apart.
@@PBKreviewsSaw some video of a machine which fixes these display lines using some laser. Might be worth looking at.
Yeah seen it also
5:31 And again you need disassembly whole phone to remove GLUED battery
i want to see those dumbs who design it how they removing glued battery byself without putting enormous force and heat
👍
Wow, so the pro model has a 5mmw antenna and the non pro model doesn't?🤔
The Verizon version of the non-Pro model does (with a $100 premium) but the unlocked does not which has been the standard with Pixels.
@@onetwentyfour oh wow! weird.....
They can’t keep getting away with this! 8:40 😭
👍
Pretty poor internal design. Soldered charging port, screen needs to be removed for battery replacement. iPhones are pretty modular, just sad that Apple pairs their parts.
no vapor chamber?
😭
nope
@@PBKreviewsis Vapor chamber important?
I would say so. 3D graphite transfers heat well but I would like to see a combination of a vapor chamber and 3D graphite
Not sure this is where to ask, but assumed the phones still work, can your next video answer the ultimate question nearly all of us are asking but no one's willing to answer:
How does the radio (baseband) in this, which is a 5300i vs 5300g in the G2, compare especially to the Snapdragon in the S23? Meaning testing in a fringe area for basic connectivity like phone calls & speed test next to a base station.
I didn't get a chance to test cellular connectivity due to the fact I "couldn't" activate the device that early, so I wasn't able to test things like that. I'm sure others will post videos very soon with those details before I would even get a chance to do a video on it.
Plenty of warranty stickers and indicators in the phone, even the battery has a glorified warranty sticker with the pull tabs. Disappointed at the excessiveness
Type C-ports wear out. Google should not make it so difficult to replace the port.
There is not a mm space inside the phone but google still can fit 5050mah battery inside. Think Apple. 😂
👍
Is this structure last for 7 years as google promised
No, obviously not -- especially with a soldered USB-C port.

Not like battery brand or phone in general. Sammy for me.
I can see THIS PHONE BEING SOLD ON EBAY. Why did you do that?
what do you mean? I usually sell off all the phones I use in videos in as is condition and clearly describe what they were used for etc.
@ PBKreviews No need to sell this torn down phone.
@PBKreviews You need to keep it for future reference.Jerry rigeverything and co do not sell their phones after doing videos with them man!?
lol what are you saying. What does it matter what others do. My channel does not make anything close to those large channels, so I have to sell off the devices to recoup costs for future videos. I pay full price if not more for everything, so I am not given these for free. There is no way I could do all these videos left n right if I never sold anything.
So basically your phone is dead when the battery dies.
What type of dead you’re talking about? Battery life being low and bout to turn off but can charge it up or being unable to charge it when it runs out of power type of dead?
😢🎉😢 3:36
:)
To be honest, it doesn't look to be all that repairable. Just swap the device with a new one. Similar to what other vendors do.
4:3
Man I don't get it. Why do Pixel phones suck so bad when it comes to repair? You need to remove the screen to access the inside, and no replaceable charge port??? What the hell?
Yep, hopefully one day the go back to replaceable charger ports.
Woah impressive now if my C port is broken, the whole phone will be useless. Is that so?
I mean the port can be replaced by repair shops which can do soldering, but its just more difficult since individual users can't purchase the replacement part and replace it themselves without soldering expertise.
You could still use wireless charging or solder on a new usb c port.
@@WirageVoyage thank you. Well actually, the thing that mostly be broken the soonest, must be the screen. I am from Vietnam, so impossible to have parts to replace. We have Samsung factory here, so most people stick to Samsung since service center is quick and responsive. I love Google phones but I hesitate since the service is not as good as Samsung
PBK is experienced and yet damaged the screen during removal. Not a good testimony for a novice to hear if trying to repair his/her own phone.
Yep, I mean it can happen to the best of us. But yeah on the pixel 8, I didn't run into the issue of the plastic frame around the back of the screen separating from the screen.
S23fe
soon
google totted this phone was repairable.
Is totted a real word ?
Would you sell me this phone?
Google has done at least once in the past non-shouldered to the board usb-c ports (source: an old PBK video and I owned one) and on a smaller device.
This design is just cheap and stupid. (that includes all the devices built like that)
They really make efforts.
😂😂😂😂😂 Google 🤨, I don't trust them

Now I know whose pixel is listed on eBay 🎷
Thank you, you've done a lot of work

Damn even the inside of Google phone looks more premium than the inside of a Samsung phone
