today we're going to be taking apart the oneplus to one of the newest phones from the company oneplus the back is removable easy enough you just pop that off with your hands then there are six rubber caps on top of the screws remove those two remove the double SIM card tray and then take your screwdriver I will link parts and tools down in the video description so take a look at those there are 18 screws around the back of this phone then you can just lift up the backplate set it off to the side and this is the best-looking phone I have ever been inside hit that like button if you like the giant red battery then there's a piece of tape over the battery connection and the charging port connection so lift that off and then pop up the two ribbon cable connections they're like little Legos you can just lift them up then you can lift the battery up and out of the phone here is the battery it is a 3300 milliamp but it also says on here that it's a minimum of at 3200 milliamps so I guess they have some fluctuation in battery quality here is a charging port ribbon cable you just lift that up out of the phone that's one of the best things about this phone is that the charging port is replaceable it's usually one of the first things to go out on a phone besides the battery it is a Type C charging port it's not the normal USB once it's very similar to the new Apple lightning charger where you can take the charging cable and plug it in either way whether it's upside down or right side up there are two little ribbon cables down here at the bottom just lift those up off the board and then there's a wire cable as well lift that out then the board itself should pop out from the phone you have the vibrator motor right here and then contact points for the loudspeaker here the loudspeaker is just sitting on the back of the back plate here is the rear facing camera just unclip that from the board and pull it up at an angle this guy is a 13 megapixel camera capable of recording in 4k does have video stabilization as well here's the front facing camera lift that up and out of the phone 5 megapixels secure little guy then there's another piece of tape holding down these two ribbon cables as well as a screw on the bottom right of the motherboard so I'll connect those ribbon cables as well as this little wire cable be gentle with it you can pop that connection off the board and break it here's some grounding tape on top of this ribbon cable I'm going to lift that up gently and then unsnap the ribbon cable from the board that releases the motherboard from the frame gonna lift that out here you can see the motherboard it's got the dual LED flash on it as well as the headphone jack the headphone jack is not replaceable it also has some thermal paste on the back I'm assuming this is for the processor or the memory to help keep it cool and then here is the earpiece you can just pop that out from the main frame as well so here is the screen it's got the screen itself the glass the LCD as well as the frame on the back that holds all the components in the past one plus has sold these screens as a unit fused together with the plastic frame and the glass hopefully they continue that in the future now if they don't you're going to have to heat up the front of the screen and separate the screen from the frame and put the frame on your new screen later you can watch my note 5 screen replacement video to see the same process done but hopefully they sell the screens as a unit because it's a much easier repair that way go ahead and reassemble the phone hit that subscribe button if you'd like what you've seen so far go ahead and snap those ribbon cables down into place being careful with this grounding sticker as well don't want to rip that and then putting the tape back on top of the ribbon cables as well here's the front-facing camera going to snap that down into place and just line up a little waffle connection over the mainboard and press it down you'll hear it click into place you'll know it's connected rear camera goes in the bottom board snaps down into place be careful with those wire cables those are very easy to break snapping the two ribbon cables down and then the charging port goes back in just kind of scooch that type-c charging plate down at the bottom of the frame and the frame will hold it in place snap the waffle connector in and then just set the whole ribbon cable down into the phone so the battery won't pinch it or tweak it anywhere when you put the battery into place once you get the battery in there snap it down as well and take that tape that you took off earlier and set it back down on top of the two ribbon cable connectors then the back of the phone snaps in as well and I'm going to turn on the phone really quick just to make sure everything's connected and everything's working before I put those 18 screws back into place everything's looking good so put your dual SIM card tray back into the back and get those little rubber circle pieces back on top of there screw holes back of the phone gets put on and you are good to go I did do a durability test in this phone right took a razor blade and scratch the screen and tried to bend the phone in half go ahead and check out that video if you're interested and check out a couple of my other teardown videos thanks ton for watching hit that like button don't forget to subscribe and I hope to see you around
