it's time to tear down the brand new Galaxy Note 9 and take an inside look at that water carbon fortnight ready heat dissipation system normally I'd suggest removing the S Pen first but we already took that apart in my last video huge thanks to audible for sponsoring this video let's get started getting inside watertight bones is never super fun but heat is our best friend softening the adhesive holding the back glass layer to the metal frame of the phone this is much harder than it looks the phone is trying to hold itself together while simultaneously melting my fingers off I'll use a bit of card stock around the curved glass corners to avoid the pressure a metal tool would inflict once the adhesive is completely cuffed from around the edges of the glass the whole thing pulls away from the foam body still attached is the fingerprint scanner ribbon but it looks like I didn't Nick it with any of my tools so we should be okay it's the same solid slab of black glass we've come to expect from Samsung so a clear phone is definitely an option but we'll save that for another day the teardown gets easier at this point with eleven normal Phillips head screws surrounding the top plastics and that wireless charging pad once those screws are out and set off to the side in an organized fashion of course I can pull away the wireless charging from the phone and we get a close-up look at the golden contact pads it uses to transfer power and communicate with the motherboard as well as what I believe is the battery temperature sensing Niblett in the top right corner I'll unplug the battery from the motherboard so we don't have to worry about anything shorting out and then we can mosey on down to the seven screws holding the bottom plastics over the charging port pulling that off reveals a large loudspeaker along with this gold contact pads the water damage indicator and another foam ball pit for ants like we saw inside of the oneplus six these foam balls realistically have something to do with sound dampening but I honestly still have no idea this time around the note 9s motherboard has three screws holding it to the frame two screws down at the bottom and one screw up at the top left then it can start unplugging the ribbons like little Legos the front sensor ribbon the iris scanner ribbon up at the top and the charging port ribbon down at the bottom of the motherboard along with the larger screen ribbons on the right side and of course the sim and SD card tray is also holding the mother in place then still needs to be removed pulling the motherboard out of the frame is easy enough just navigating around all the ribbons we unplugged and finally we got our first look at the incredibly large copper heatsink we'll commence the autopsy on that guy in just a second but first we'll remove the front-facing 8 megapixel camera no image stabilizing on this guy the dual rear cameras though should both have it the whole unit is very well adhered to the motherboard Samsung definitely doesn't want these moving around but once it's off each lens does indeed have its own Hardware stabilizing built-in the 12 megapixel variable aperture camera which you can see opening and closing here has a physical aperture mechanism which changes automatically to let in more or less light as the camera needs it it's also Hardware stabilized the 2 x telephoto zoom lens camera on the left is also optically stabilized this is probably the most high-tech complex system of cameras in any smartphone on the market right now I'll plug all three cameras back into place so that they'll still function if the phone survives the rest of this teardown the charging port has changed a bit this year with the note 9 it's quite a bit smaller than the previous note 8 all that's included on the itty bitty board is the quick charging USB C docking port with its water resistant rubber ring around the tip as well as a tiny little microphone replacement charging ports for last year's Note 8 are only about 12 dollars right now so it definitely pays to know how to fix your phone down at the bottom of the phone we have our normal water-resistant mesh for the loudspeaker the headphone jack and our circular vibration motor with its golden contact pads there is one more water damage indicator up at the top of the phone visible through the sim and SD card tray when it's pulled out and of course we have the gigantic earpiece speaker one question I get surprisingly often is what happens if I stick my SIM card tool in the wrong hole the answer to that is nothing happens as you can see from inside the phone the water-resistant mesh and corresponding microphone hardware are off at an angle to the hole itself so no matter how far you stick your tool inside it won't damage or puncture anything important thumbs up for that the only things inside the phone we have left to remove are the large 4000 milliamp hour battery and the large water carbon heat dissipation system once again Samsung has added enough adhesive under this battery to glue an elephant to the ceiling it's a ridiculous amount even bending my metal right tools during the removal there's no magical pull-tabs either like we've seen in some of the iPhones the battery does finally come out though if you remember the note seven battery the one that kept exploding it was thirty 500 milliamp hours last year's note it dropped down to 3300 milliamp hours but this year Samsung has regained its confidence and is rocking a massive 4000 milliamp hour battery hopefully it works out for him now for that water carbon heat dissipation system it's definitely one of the larger heat pipes that we've seen inside of a cell phone way bigger than last year's Note 8 and looks to be about the same size as the massive heat pipe we found inside the gaming razor phone the only way we can truly understand this thing is with an autopsy which means it needs to come out of the phone under the copper heatsink is the same adhesive Samsung slathered under the battery once it's out we see that the cylindrical heat pipe itself has a large rectangular copper pad over the top of it remember copper itself is a fantastic thermally efficient conductor so a solid copper plate is useful next to a superhot processor but that doesn't give us any insight into the water carbon stuff Samsung was mentioning supposedly inside this vacuum sealed tube is liquid usually a super small amount and realistically because of that minut amount the moment it's opened up any liquid or vapor will evaporate instantly the tube itself is hollow and slicing it open reveals a copper wick inside the mesh screen inside this tube acts as a wick to help transport the small amount of liquid from the hot end of the pipe to the cool end of the pipe during high temperature loads like gaming or texting an angry girlfriend it's a capillary weave of copper you could say the whole thing looks very much like a normal heat pipe just like we've seen in other smartphones so I'm not sure where the carbon part comes into play but at this point it would just be nitpicking the advertising jargon either way this thing is massive and it's copper so it's pretty safe to assume that it's going to do its job of cooling down the phone during long fortnight gaming sessions speaking of video games you've probably heard of the movie ready player one it sounds cliche but the book is really so much better and more detailed the tasks that Wade Watts needs to complete for the contest are entirely different in the book and it just expounds on the universe as a whole huge thanks to audible for sponsoring this video if you enjoyed the movie ready play one you can grab the book version for free with a 30-day trial using the code jerry-rigged that'll link in the description or go to audible.com slash jerry-rigged texting the word jerry-rigged to five hundred five hundred works to je r ry RI g ready player one is definitely one of my current favorites obviously i won't be able to reuse this cut up copper contraption when i reassemble the phone but everything should still function just fine without it i won't be winning any of those fortnight chicken dinners or whatever because it might throttle a bit but let's see if the phone still turns on the battery is back into place along with the small charging port and its two screws and then of course the motherboard can settle down taking special care enough to pinch any the ribbon cables underneath the board every Lego connection is on top this time around and surprisingly has no wire cables I'll plug the screen ribbons along the right side and the charging port ribbon down at the bottom along with the front sensors I'll put the three motherboard screws back into place before plugging in the battery and then the loudspeaker plastics and the wireless charging plastics can be set into place with the eight pin screws holding everything together the back glass with a short fingerprint scanner is kind of tricky but after that's plugged in the whole thing turns on and we're good to go Samsung has been doing some pretty innovative stuff with the note 9 this was definitely a fun tear down the cameras and heat pipe were incredibly interesting from the inside do you think mobile gaming is the way of the future don't forget to grab your free copy
