Nokia 3310 Tear-Down and Durability Review - April 1, 2016

2016-04-01
it's been 16 years since the release of the Nokia 3310 this is that awesome invincible phone with the snake to game on it we have photographic evidence that this phone is invincible and I know that it's true because I saw it on the Internet so let's open it up and see what's inside turn it off slide off the back cover and remove the old-school lithium-ion battery and SIM card and then without any effort that front panel will pop off the plastic buttons can also be easily removed for the front panel you will need a t6 driver to remove the six screws tools will be linked down in the video description once those screws are out there are a few clasps on each side that hold the front panel and circuit board in place the screen you see here is an 84 by 48 resolution monochrome graphic display let's take a look at what else is inside this phone Oh what is this this must be why they call it a brick phone it has an actual real life-size brick inside pretty impressive actually I can see now why the phone is as durable as it is let's take a look at the circuit board on the front you can see the contact points for the front buttons and on the back here you can see the adamantium encapsulated Faraday cages a Faraday cage is a grounded metal screen that surrounds the circuit board to exclude electrostatic and electromagnetic influences if we pop off the cage you can see this is the snake from the snake game it must be some type of analog to digital conversion that makes it function inside of the circuitry let's pop off the bottom Faraday cage and that's why they call it snake 2 because there are two snakes and they actually take turns on screen smart move by Nokia don't want them getting tired and quitting here's the exposed circuit board up here we have the transmogrified arc reactor a non binary transistor which isn't super logical in any sense of the word nutri transistors have been widely regarded as nonsensical over here we have the inverse parametric and Cabul ated flux capacitor this helps with the hydro Coptics sinusoidal directons while synchronizing the retro unilateral magneto reluctance resistor overall a solid build I am pretty impressed these LED lights are built in flush with the circuit board to help make the phone as extraordinarily thin as it is well let's put it back together I'll keep one of these little snakes as a pet and tuck the other one back inside to keep on working kind of like the iPhone sweatshops in China before I finish look at the size of this vibrator I have never seen one this big inside of a cell phone before get those six screws back into place and pop the front panel back on once the battery is back in you can use the top power button to turn it on and look at these boot times infinitely faster than both Android and iPhone I'll be using this as my daily driver for the next few months it has everything a tech enthusiast could possibly need thanks for watching hit that subscribe button and share the nostalgia with your friends
