      thats only really real beef with iFixit. They always try to make the companies out like they are intentionally designing tech so they cant be worked on. Now this might be the case with some products like computers (apple), but it comes to tech like phones and tablets its a direct result of the majority of people wanting thin, powerful, and water proof/resistant devices. There is no way in hell companies can make tech that meets the majorities demands all while make everything easy to take apart and maintain water resistance/proofing. It's just not really feasible nor cost effective.

The cables are all easy to snap in their config, and the 2nd battery is likely to break the screen getting removed from it. Even with the knowledge here, It would not be an easy job.

      This is quite clearly a halo product, just as the galaxy fold is. Don't think for a second this is high volume. You're short sighted thinking that exploring new form factors wont be beneficial for future product development. Every single iteration of the phone - in all of it's forms - is an exercise in form factors. You remind me of old people yelling at the 4 inch android phone screens back in 2010 because iPhones doesn't need to be bigger than 3.5 inches. Yet they're now all using 6 inch iPhone screens. You haven't used folding phones before, you've used dial pads with screens which could be tucked away. You must be getting old.

      @@Raja995mh33 All the latest Samsung phones, apples new iPhone are all around 6 inches in size. This is the norm now. But it doesn't really matter. My point is that phones have continuously been evolving. You can't sit here and shit on these folding phones for being useless when they're paving the way for folding tech going forward. It's like shitting on the first gen iPhone for not having a real keyboard as people did back then. It doesn't matter if you don't want to open the phone each time. There will be folding phones with screens on the inside and outside. It doesn't matter how bad you think it is today. It's a crucial part of the evolution in phones and portable form factors. This is my point. And so in 10 years when you got a phone as slim as the one you have now but is able to fold out into an 8 inch screen and otherwise functions like the one you have now, there will be a new way to interact with a pocket computer. The last 100 years has been an exercise in miniaturization of tech. How someone does not see the obvious pattern here is beyond me.

      @@LadBooboo yes thanks for illustrating my point. That thing is literally the very attempt at constructing a more intuitive form factor for phones. It is not a coincidence that Samsung and LG and Apple and everyone else making designing or buying screens are invested in folding them. It's literally the thing we've been doing with our tech for decades. Having a continuous screen there is indeed a new form factor compared to two components with a flex cable in between. As soon as you create a device which can house a bigger thing in a smaller footprint you've made a new form factor. But it's cool. You hate change until it's spoonfed to you because the world has moved on. The galaxy fold and moto suck today for sure. But they're pretty god damn significant nonetheless.

  • @nixie2462

    The question is, could the secondary battery holder be taken out from the screen, so we can use it on other devices taking advantage of the conformability of the display?

    Wow. I did not realize this phone only had a 710 in it. That is unbelievable. A 710 isn't even mid tier in 2020, and you can get phones with them for less than $80 brand new, with the same 6gb of RAM. The 710 was basically made for extremely cheap smartphones for the Chinese and Indian markets.

    So... this pretty modular phone that might take a little while to disassemble and re-assemble gets a 1 out of 10 because it might take a while... but spending hours on removing shields from the inside of the Surface Pro X still gets a 6 out of 10...
    What the actual F?

    New technologies are usually more complicated but also more repairable, so I'm not expecting future folding phones to be any easier as they work on improved(cheaper) manufacturing methods.

    While they show a "typical" total of 2510 mAh, this teardown also allows us to see that they are truly only "rated" for 2350 mAh. When the battery is that small, that extra 160 mAh is not nothing. If paying $1500, you'd think they'd make sure the "rated" capacity was 2500 mAh - under promise, over deliver.

  • @aidenstanley7305

    'all of this is non-destructive' makes me think this would easily get at least a 4 if reassessed, especially when looking at the Samsungs (where you're guaranteed to break the screen) getting at least a 2.

    The innards look rather cheap. I mean, they're probably not - but conventional bar phone innards seem more wholesome. It may be high-end now but a resurgence of cheap flip phones doesn't seem impossible.

    Nah it seemed like a 3, pop up screen makes it somewhat imaginable that flex screens might get cheaper to produce sooner or later, it's made of plastic anyway, so it means it will be a race for developing the most scratch resistant and most flexible no crease displays from now on

  • @davidgrisgraber8864
    @davidgrisgraber8864 4 года назад

    Only one out of those three cables was even slightly hidden, and you say you are prying a battery out against the display when it’s clearly in its own tray, protecting the display. A one. Wow. I guess we should all consult with ifixit before we revolutionize the smartphone next time. Maybe try a potato, they might be happy with that
