    That's a great video. Thanks for this. I've been looking for one for a few days. I was so excited to get a Pixel on the 28th and in the moment of excitement, I stupidly inserted the SIM ejector tool into the top microphone hole. It went, maybe, half way in. My question is, could it have damaged the water resistance of the phone? It didn't affect the microphone, but I am worried the water seals might be damaged and the phone will die a few months down the line 😂
    Thanks

    • @PBKreviews
      @PBKreviews  2 роки тому +4

    So I just got my display changed on my Pixel 6 Pro with an original one but unfortunately I'm not able to proceed through the calibration tool.
    I've connected the phone to the computer, the calibration tool detects it but it says that my Pixel software is too new for the tool and it's not working... god dammit how can google not update their calibration tool to the latest software really? Now I have a phone without the fingerprint sensor and it really sucks.... I hate it.... I've also paid like ~$500 for the original display + the change...

    I know this probably sounds crazy, but do you think it would be possible for the Pixel 3XL's autofocus front-facing camera to be swapped in place of the 6 Pro's front camera if I tried?
    I watched your videos on both and the components seem to be a similar size but the flex cable sizes are quite different and not sure if they use the same connectors at all. Just really miss the autofocus from the 3XL's FFC as the 6 Pro uses a fixed focus lens instead. was wondering how feasible you think that kind of Frankenstein swap would be. And thanks for the great video as always! 😁

      On the 6 Pro, the top mic and filter are seated in a L position so above the hole and would not be damaged. On the 6 though the mic sits against the hole, and even though I doubt poking it would damage it since its a solid strong piece, it might poke a hole in the filter but again I don't think it would be large enough to cause an issue for anything getting inside the phone to cause damage.

      There aren't any original replacement parts for it that I was able to find, but there is this one which I will link in this comment. But it doesn't look to come with the replacement adhesive strip. You would need to heat up your original glass cover with a hair dryer and pry it off, apply new adhesive strip (if there isn't one included with it you can buy adhesive to cut down and use) and re apply the replacement. Here is a link for the adhesive installation which may help understand how its done and the link to the part.

As I also saw your Pixel 6 teardown video, it has different location of haptic vibrator and it seems better in 6 pro (as I heard from some reviewers), is it correct? Secondly, the charging port of 6 pro can be released from motherboard and easy to change, and it's not changeable on pixel 6, right?

    • @PBKreviews
      @PBKreviews  2 роки тому +1

      You're welcome. Both 6 and 6 pro charger ports are soldered onto the board. The haptic feedback motor location isn't going to really affect anything much. Since when people play games or run other apps when the phone is horizontal, it doesn't make a difference if its on the top or bottom. But I guess in vertical when you might be texting or other such actions, it might be better to have it on the bottom but again I think the feel from the haptic feedback should be felt pretty evenly throughout the phone.

      yes as the previous com-mentor mentioned.

    • @PBKreviews
      @PBKreviews  2 роки тому +16

      You're welcome. Correct, but the finger print reader itself is not what stores the finger print. It's stored on the device itself. The fingerprint reader is just a reader so if it goes bad, or you break your screen, it's going to be a pain to replace etc. However I do understand the security point of few if people are able to make 3rd party readers for the phones which don't meet the standards of google or the manufacturer and thus can be more easily fooled to reading fingerprints close to but not exactly a real finger. Has its pro's and cons but at least from what was leaked before (that the cameras might not be user replaceable), the cameras are replaceable and not locked down so that's a good thing.

      Sometimes you need to do a software update on the phone and if it doesn't help, factory reset on the phone so it programs the cameras and syncs with the main board. But make sure you backup your data.

    What kind of finger print reader is it? Optical ones use a camera and throw light onto the fingerprint to read it and ultrasonic readers don't need light to read them. The pixels don't have a camera reader but throw light onto the finger anyway. Can anyone enlighten me?

      I believe its optical, also it's not as thin as it looks, it is thin yes but not as thin as a sticker. If you watch @1:10 in the video (when the screen is on its side before I disconnect the cable from the board), you can see it from the side and see somewhat the thickness of it.

      I rate it based off both replaceable parts and ease of the disassembly. If the disassembly was from the back vs the front where the screen is (since most people can easily damage a working display trying to replace an internal component or part) then I am sure I would give it a higher score. Also the fact the charging port is soldered onto the board makes it much more difficult for most people to replace vs a charger port that would be on a flex cable that is user replaceable without having the know how of soldering. I have taken apart hundreds of iPhone in my day and always prefer to work on androids personally. I wouldn't rate an iPhone in negative digits, but most probably in the 3-4 range due to the amount of different sized and type screws and time it takes to take the entire thing apart.

      You can't just swap it with your own fingerprint reader, the phone still has security features in place which reads and verifies the installed fingerprint reader to be the same make from google etc. Also I am sure the fact that its required that the calibration software as well as a factory reset is required after installing the new reader, ensures that any "hacked" or altered fingerprint reader/software would be wipped/cleaned before that fingerprint is operational.

      It's not as easy as said n done. Since liquid metal is highly conductive, you cant just apply it as is. If it spills on or around the chips, it will definitely short the phone. Would require a closed compartment so the liquid metal doesn't spill out, so its not like thermal paste that you can just apply on top of the processor and not worry about it liquefying and spilling from the sides.
