the 1 plus 6 is here and while I'm a big fan of the super reflective mirror black coloring I kind of want to take a closer look at the design and you know clarify some things let's get started in the past back with the 1 plus 1 and the 1 plus 2 1 plus had their iconic red battery inside the phone for us all to enjoy during the teardown it was visually impressive to the few of us who ever opened up their phone but then they stopped I'm going to use a lot of heat to soften the adhesive under the back mirror black glass so we can see if the 1 plus has a recent change of heart and put some red back into the interior design I'll use a suction cup to slip in my thin metal pry tool and start slicing through the adhesive under the glass and then I'll use the instruction booklet to help keep the adhesive from reott hearing to the frame after it's cut I guess instructions do come in handy every now and then I should also say at this point that opening up your phone or doing any mods voids all the warranties on every single level and oneplus won't be able to help you if something goes wrong so maybe don't try this at home it is harder than it looks finally with all the adhesive cut away we get our first glimpse of the battery and it's not read don't worry I think I can still fix this the fingerprint scanner and plugs under this metal latch which has a nice red rubber accent which looks cool and I'll unclip it with my red pry tool which also looks cool but I'm unplugging a non red battery and it's just not as cool the green pool tab is convenient for easy battery removal how do you like that design I'll do the full teardown review of the oneplus 6 in another video though I thought we bring back the red battery on our own I asked Dee brand for a solution and they came to the rescue with some extra red phone skin material this video isn't sponsored at all tweeting Dee brand is a lot like asking out a girl you either get a yes or brutally rejected publicly either way somehow they both still end up with all your money I peeled off the adhesive backing on the skin and lined it up with the top edge of the battery without thin and flexible this material is I doubt it'll put any stress or add any heat to the battery itself I'll flatten it out and chop off some of the excess along the edges and fold it over so we have the bold red battery from the past never settle right I'll get the battery all situated back up in the foam body and funny enough oneplus actually includes stickers in the box with they're translucent rubber case I'm not sure if I like the big white sticker in the middle but I'll leave it on for a second while we assess our options before anyone can truly enjoy the interior design of the one plus six we have to make the glass clear I'll use a little heat to soften the adhesive holding the fingerprint scanner in place then I can pull that off along with the dual camera lens frame and the LED flash diffuser the rest of the process is pretty simple oneplus has added a thin layer of film onto the glass to give us some sense of depth and reflection once I get the peel started with my razor blade I can pull it away in big chunks or even a glass pretty clean underneath there are subtle curves along the glass side so I'm taking special care not to put any pressure on those glass is glass after all getting an up close to look at the underside of the film there's almost some hints of deep blue mixed in with the black and that's probably what helps out with that depth effect luckily I was able to get the rest of the black layer of reflective black film to pull off all at once which was strangely satisfying this is the sound of the phone losing all of its manufacturer warranties the oneplus logo and bottom text remained on the glass which i think is pretty cool the logo said to ride over top of our newly red battery and I feel like the white sticker now is rather distracting so I'll just pull that off and stick it on something else later a little bit of glass cleaner to get rid of any fingerprints and then I can stick the camera lens back on along with the flash diffuser and finally the fingerprint scanner with its super long ribbon cable a little bit of double-sided tape around the edges to pout best once I set the glass into place there's definitely no water resistance anymore but you win some and you lose some I'll plug in the fingerprint scanner and latch it down with this tiny metal tab in red rubber accents and then the phone and the glass gets safely sandwich back together and in my opinion this just might be the best looking clear phone I've ever made bold and beautiful the red and black combined with the high-tech internals of the oneplus 6 just looks pretty good tossing on the included case from one-plus turned it more translucent kind of like HTC's u11 but I'm sure there's other cases out there that are more transparent you can choose from those as well I'm the type of guy who always has a case on my phone for this one I might make an exception it deserves to be shown off everything turns on and works like normal what do you think of this clear color option we can call it the 1 plus 6 subtracted addition because you know we just you know subtracted the color I think it's a good idea my Twitter followers got a sneak peek of the phone before this video went live so come hang out with me over there to join in the fun and thanks a ton for watching I'll see you around
