A Very Quiet Disassembly of the Pixel 4a
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Our office is pretty quiet these days with most people working from home. We took advantage of the stillness to record a very quiet disassembly of Google’s new Pixel 4a. Our teardown engineers are hard at work on the full teardown but, in the meantime, put on your headphones and relax to the sights and sounds of this disassembly.
Full Teardown coming soon at iFixit.com!
You don’t need much to take apart the Pixel 4a-in fact, our Essential Electronics Toolkit has pretty much everything you’ll need.

Wow, you can almost hear the warranty being voided as soon as the battery was exposed enough to be possible to replace.
i swear that became illegal
Warranty-voiding sounds always give me ASMR goosebumps
They wouldn't even noticed it was opened.
I started watching this and thought, "wow it's so quiet. I can't hear anything." My volume was off -.-
I didn’t know i needed this
We didn't know either
Same
Likewise 😂
@@iFixitYourself DOES IT HAVE PIXEL NEURAL CORE?
@@mafiaboy4925 no
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE ATTEMPTING DISASSEMBLY: If you use this video as a guide (like the company says you should) PLEASE be very careful with the little blue prying tools when prying the screen off at THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER of the phone. In fact, just stay away from that part of the phone when opening the screen. The small blue picks will sever the screen cable, which is looped right next to the screen joint. You'll completely hose your screen and need a new one. Learn from my mistakes. Now I'm out $120 for a new screen...neat.
@iFixit really needs to be extremely clear about this if this is intended to be a helpful video
Indeed, the screen on pixel 4a is very fragile, chances that it will break are very high
Very good point, be careful at the bottom right corner, do not pry there
avoid bottom right corner. will keep that in mind. thanks!
The format is neat but for this device, it would've been more beneficial to hear some explanation especially getting the back plate off when we can't see what you're disconnecting with the camera.
David Jung the mother board slides out from the back plate read the text on the screen
@@Warman-do8td Again, the format is neat and the text helped but little more thorough explanation on how finicky it is and what to be careful about would've been nicer, in my opinion.
@@DavidJung03 yeah but don't worry they said they are still working on the full teardown. and they only made this cuz there were quiet In the studio for one and wanted to use that
Go to the website
ABSOLUTELY
is this supposed to be "unintentional asmr"?
More like intentional asmr, they know what they're doing, look at the tags on the video 🤣
It's not unintentional
The surround sound is lit though.
@@dparag14 that's stereo, not surround sound.
if the phone is plastic, and not IP rated, the whole plastic back should just pop out, and then screen should be unscrewed, like in old times
Phone companies do not want their phones to be used for many years.
@@Sujeesh_Bhosri uh what yes they do. Phones back then were horrendous. Slow and easy to break. Now you can get a decent phone for 150 euro and keep it for 3+ years or 4 before it might become too outdated
@@LucianGarz-x9q What happens when the battery no longer holds a charge for more than about 4-6 hours of normal use? And you must practically destroy the phone to replace the battery?
@@olo-burrows what?
@@LucianGarz-x9q 3 to 4 years LMAO until the battery breaks 2 years in then they stop receiving updates
You have definitely designed the ifixit pro tech toolkit to sound satisfying so only makes sense to have a video like this
Totally agree
0:31 "It doesn't even take much heat to separate the display from the phone's body". I didn't see you use any heat at all. Is there a longer video somewhere?
Yeah, this one seems to skip a lot of steps on things.
2:43 That shaking is so professional that all the street-side repair shops in China cannot do it...
just trying to force the screw out lol, works most of the time
Wow. Whoever designs any electronic internal parts are just admirable.
Working as a phone-repairman I'm very happy to see how WELL this phone is built. And I've changed screens on google pixel xA before and they are so refreshingly easy to fix. Well done google!
Easy to replace, but not very easy to dissemble this phone without the risk of breaking the screen, very fragile screens on pixel 4a
Where's the ASMR in the title?
They make phones way too difficult to just replace a battery. The most needed repair...
You're not wrong
At least the screen is easy to repair
@@lukasderstecher4582 true! Def a plus
Exactly. Back in the days we can choose between removable batteries or waterproof smartphones, but today we don't have neither of those. Why ?
For some screen is considered the most common repair.
I wish I knew about this channel before I took apart my beloved note 4.
why do you keep unscrewing after the screw is loose. OCD? It's a repetitive behavior.
This is perfect for falling sleep.
Hey! You missed out on the pulltabs of the battery adhesive! You can access them from the other side of the frame, just under two little black stickers. No solvent needed. ☺️
This is so satisfying.
By mistake you have written so in place of not
SOURABH ANAND
By mistake you have replied to my comment.
why is so gratifying se all this teardown videos.
Thank you so much for making this. The volume button on mine is broken, so I can only play at full volume. This video was a far more pleasant experience than I was expecting.
just the same for me : volume button broken and they say that screen would be broken too in trying to repair. I am disgusted, it's not honest...
Thanks for the raw audio and no music
Awesome video! Thanks iFixit! More please
1 Million thumps up for this Disassembly since people don't need to see your face but the phone!
The video just reaffirms time and again how much I enjoy the quiet for real.
PS: This is an Indian unit it looks like from the BIS certification on the battery! Hmm
Is the 4a launched in India?
This is the best ASMR I've ever watched that wasn't titled as being ASMR
Loved the left-to-right tweezer tapping.
This is ASMR perfection! we need more of this like of yesterday! Tech nerds need this kind of vids!
Nothing better than the soothing sound of a phone screen popping off. Puts me right to sleep.
This format is great
Apple: We hate people trying to repair our phones.
Google: Hold my Pixel 4a
Great format, l hope to see it again
This teardown made about as much noise as the 4a made in the news.
This is oddly soothing.
I want every video like this
Silent and clean ❤️
All that unscrewing beyond necessity goes me nuts...
An asmr video at its finest.
10/10 would listen to tech asmr again, please do more of this
Any sign of waterproofing?
Not likely no IP rating on 4a however it can survive a few splash of water or rain as long it lands on the screen and not in any ports
@@BlackopsUSN every phone can do that.
@@scaramouche768 yeah
@Vyacheslav V. there is adhesive around the screen and a rubber ring around the sim tray however there does not appear to be any near the charge port the rubber ring should prevent water drops however any drops entered through the 3.5 jack or charge can potentially damage the circuit
Cheap realme phones have better water protection than this. For this price it should have been water resistant
I just want know that why this channel is so underrated with this level of quality content, i checked this channel is on youtube since 2006, someone please let me know.
They are commerically selling their disassembly kits and that is the main part of their business. This youtube channel is like an advertisment to them. So they don't focus on this channel much.
I have one of these coming in the mail which made this so satisfying to watch!
This is so satisfying. I leave it on as my study background music.
At 1:28, I realized my headphone was on the opposite way.
Thank you, iFixit
Nice unboxing
We need more of this
So peaceful...
Lots of people complain about case squeaking issue on this model -- as you have arleady disassembled it, mabye you could give some video advice how to fix the issue ;) I guess many users, for sure me, would love it.
Thanks for the video, either way might be useful! :)
How precisely with utmost care you tear down the tiny electronic components, modules, FFC/FFP ribbon cables!
Way better than all the other asmr videos.
Omg it was perfect I loved the new style do it more please
I was forced to change my ear speaker.
That you have to be really careful with the screen is really no joke. I have already had to open many of my smartphones, this is the first time that a screen broke. Although you can obviously see nothing on the display. Very sad :(
I agree. Very very sad. 😢
well please continue this series
Overturning the screws gives me more anxiety than this video released 😭
Love the ASMR quality! Do more quiet ones!
I loved it! To the point. The grinding of the screw driver unscrewing the screws was a great touch!
Here's a change! Do one off the guides to a beat ;-}
Loved this video concept, but would appreciate a proper noise gate? The background noise kept fluctuating
Quietly Brilliant.
Is quite a sound?
Is quite a sound.
Is quite a sound!
Question, can the screen be re-heated and placed back on when reassembling the phone? Is there an adhesive kit you can buy to install when reassembling? Thanks in advance
If you're lucky not to break the screen, its very easy to place back with adhesive glue
I just swapped the battery on my Pixel 4a with the ifixit kit. Worked great, only took about 50 minutes.
Is the battery good?
@@Kevn37 I think the new battery is fine, same as new Pixel 4a, but I only get 2-3 hours of SOT, so at some point I sold the Pixel 4a and got a Nothing Phone 2 which gets over 12 hours of SOT.
Pixel 4a ASMR. Just what I needed to buy it. 😆
Professional essay of serving ASMR 😁 it's good though
I really like the type of video. No babbling, no annoying music! But why the hell is he over turning all the screws? He turns them loose and then keeps on turning! He must have heard that!? Am I really the only one who notices that?
Definitely need more of such 'Very Quiet' disassembly videos. Very satisfying!!
It’s so silent... I was about to fall asleep 😴
People with Sleep disorders should definitely watch this!!! 😛
Cell phone deconstruction ASMR *chef’s kiss*
Love your Quiet series
Unboxing + a tear down now that a good video
iFixit, more like iBreakIt
Then i-Fixit !
I like this format of a video.
Love the ASMR, do produce more video like this please
ASMR On point!
A very compact phone with little to no empty space left inside and that's a good thing
This is my favorite phone this year but unfortunately I can't afford it yet. :(
Hi iFixit. I really appreciate your earbuds teardowns cuz no-one else does them. Can you make a OnePlus Buds one. Cuz I can't really tell how repairable they are.
I still prefer voiceovers.
I mean... I knew that i like ASMR but i did not know that Tech-ASMR would be a thing.
Great video guys
The only asmr I’ll watch
Did they forget to put the repairability score?
More quiet teardowns please
Please make more videos like this !
I'd love o see a completely distorted version
The time taken disassembled ?
it and how we can understand whether it disassembled or not , please reply
This is basically Jerry rig everything without Zack voice and “ scratches at lvl6 with deeper grooves at lvl 7 “
OMGGG. That is the best ASMR . So satisfying and relaxing 😌. 💓
Had to watch it more than once :P
Thanks now I'm relaxed
A look at the inside of the back piece would have been beneficial for me.
iFix does a super quiet teardown
My laptop: Haha fans go brrrrrrr
My bluetooth headphones: White noise goes brrrr
That was so satisfying to watch!
I'm disturbed by the fact that the iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit being used was incomplete
Watching this in stereo on my Galaxy S10 is so...orgasmic.
A1 tear down with ear boggling sounds
Great. Now go make a teardown video of the WF1000xm3
Fuckin genius... please don't listen to the other guys, make more ASMR videos like this pls.
My wife just asked why I was being so quiet. I told her I was watching a very quiet teardown video. She told me I'm weird. I told her that's NOT fake news! Oh...yeah......GREAT VIDEO! Enjoyed it.
When will the replacement screen be available for purchase?
I need more asmr teardown
Since you forgot the repairability score: a 6/10.
Easy display replacement and the use of somewhat standard torx screws are pro's.
On the other side, strangely placed shields and connectors make repairs unnecessarily tricky.
Would it be possible to add a thin wireless charging thing to the 4a? I've seen it done with other phones. TIA
Well looking at the middle frame design, it might be possible, but why bother really. Wireless charging isn't THAT good either.
3xl here and I basically used wireless charging only once to show it off and that's it
I used to have wireless charging on my Lumia 810, or something like that, can't even remember anymore. Anyways, it was mostly worthless. Slower than normal charging and got quite hot even idle. Wireless charging honestly is just wasteful. Lots of losses.
I didn't know ASMR could be this expensive!!!
Satisfying teardown 🤗
