Keywords

💡Poco X6 Pro

This refers to the name of the specific phone model being disassembled in the video. It provides context that the video will show the internal components and repairability of this particular phone.

💡SIM tray

The SIM tray houses the SIM card which enables cellular and data connectivity on the phone. Removing it is one of the first steps in disassembling the phone.

💡back plate

The back plate forms the rear external casing of the phone and needs to be pried off to access internal components like the battery and cameras.

💡graphite film

This material helps transfer heat away from internal components to prevent overheating. The video points out areas in the phone's construction that utilize this for thermal management.

💡vapor chamber

An advanced thermal component that dissipates heat very effectively. The large size of the X6 Pro's vapor chamber enables it to manage substantial heat output from high processing demands.

💡OIS

Acronym for Optical Image Stabilization, a feature in the main 64MP camera. It uses motors to stabilize the camera sensor, improving image and video quality.

💡thermal paste

Applied between components to improve transfer of heat. The video shows thermal paste being used in multiple places like the RAM, processor and graphite film shields.

💡repairability score

The video rates how easy it is to repair and replace parts in the phone, to evaluate its overall repairability. The X6 Pro gets 7 out of 10 based on steps needed for repairs.

💡adhesive

At multiple points, adhesive is used to attach components and seals within the phone. Heat needs to be applied to soften the adhesive during disassembly or reassembly.

💡flex cable

Thin, flexible cables that connect various phone modules like the screen, buttons, speakers etc. to the main boards. Identifying these aids organized disassembly and strategic part replacement.

description before we start the SIM tray

needs to be

removed there's a red rubber gasket

around the SIM tray

now heat needs to be applied to the back

plate using a haird dryer or a heat gun

to loosen up the adhesive underneath and

then a pry tool can be used to pry the

back plate

off

for

here's a better look at the vegan

leather

back the glass camera lens covers can be

replaced by applying heat and gently

prying them off so you don't need to

take apart the phone to replace

those there are 17 philli screws which

need to be

removed

looking at the top plastic cover we can

see some antenna Flex cables including

the NFC

antenna we can also see this Flex t for

the LED flash and back light

sensor on the other side we can see an

area of graphi film to help transfer

heat the battery cables can now be

disconnected followed by the rest of the

cables

the white and black coax cable can also

be disconnected from the board by just

popping them

off

taking a look at the mainboard we can

see the 64 megapix primary camera the 8

mapix Ultra wide and the 2 map macro

lens the main camera is the only one

with ois or Optical image

stabilization the camera connectors can

be Disconnected by just popping them off

there's a secondary microphone

underneath the shield and there's copper

tape on these shields to help transfer

heat looking at the other side we can

see the infrared or IR blaster on top

and more copper tape on the back Shields

with some thermal paste to help transfer

heat once the copper tape has been

peeled back we can see thermal paste on

top of the ram which is Seated on top of

the processor there's also a thermal pad

on top of the ROM or storage

chip and here's a better look with a

thermal paste and thermal pad

removed there's additional graphite film

over the speaker assembly to help

transfer

heat and there's a mesh filter over the

speaker

opening and here's a look at the speaker

itself there's also an antenna board on

the corner of the

speaker to remove the battery there's a

pull pouch provided to help you pry it

off

and here's a look at the 5,000 Milah

battery

now that the adhesive pouch has been

peeled back back we can see the flex

cable for the screen which is right out

to an opening in the mid-frame and this

Flex cable which connects the main board

to the subboard so if you need to

replace the screen you'd have to remove

the back plate the screws on the top PL

the cover and the cover itself

disconnect the battery cables and pry

the battery off giving you access to the

screen cable at which point you

disconnect the cable for the screen from

the main board heat up the front of the

phone where the screen is to loosen up

the adhesive underneath pry the old

screen off apply new adhesive reapply

the new screen making sure you run the

flex cable back to the opening in the

mid-frame and reassemble the

phone once those Flex cables have been

peeled back we have a look at the very

large Vapor chamber which runs

underneath the battery as well as the

motherboard

taking a look at the subboard we can see

the primary microphone located

underneath the shield and the charger

port located next to that with a red

rubber gasket around

it the Sim reader is located on the

other side

the x-axis linear vibrator motor is

located on the bottom right corner and

the fingerprint scanner is located here

both of which are held down with some

adhesive so if you needed to replace

those You' have to just apply some heat

and gently pry them

off the flex C for the volume keys and

power buttons located over here in order

to replace that you just gently peel off

the flex cable from the frame and then

you pull out this plastic bracket from

inside of the frame and to remove the

physical buttons themselves you just

have to pull them out of the

frame

this is the 16 megapixel front-facing

camera the proximity board is located

here and the airp speaker is located

over here this is also held done with

some adhesive so if you needed to

replace that just apply some heat and

pry it off for the repairability score

on this phone I give it a 7 out of

10 now it's time to put the phone back

together

once everything's back together apply

new adhesive and reapply the back

blade

flip over the phone Power it on and

you're done I hope you enjoyed this

video and I'll see you in the next

one
