If you ever want to see the phone first before anyone, this guy has it.
Perfect teardown video - short, clear, concise, with just the right amount of additional comments on key elements. I've bookmarked it just in case of future need, but enjoyed watching it to learn more about the guts of my new P7Pro. Thanks PBK.🙂
I love your teardown videos, you are awesome man...
Thanks, glad you like them! :)
People can't even review the exterior of the phone and Sir you have already dissected it!
You're super fast man.
👍
His wife calls him speed gun zollus... She told me lol
🤣
That's what she said😶
Pretty straightforward to replace the battery, not bad. It's nice there are clips, so it's not relying solely on adhesive.
Yup 👍
@Alex DIY No, I mean compared to other phones...
Keep up the good work mate fastest teardown of pixel 7
Thank you for letting us see the internals of Pixel7pro so early! Can't wait for the drop test!
You're welcome!
Just subscribed : I love your teardowns with final repairability scores :)
Thanks!
Most people have pixel 7 pro but, they can't even show us software side of the phone, But You nailed it teardown every part of the phone 😎😁👍
my man be faster to disassemble phone than quicksilver dodging bullets
haha 👍
Didn't see that coming.
@@PBKreviews Thankyou sir.
Excellent 👍 I like the blue coloured USB port gasket. Shame it's soldered to the motherboard.
👍 Yeah its a nice color. Also yep sucks but I wasn't expecting a radical change from the 6 pro since they didn't really go with a whole new design.
Excellent Disassembly !! Really a gold nugget under the youchoob videos!
Thanks!
Amazing teardown ;) Thanks for being braver than most of us and thanks for sharing. Let's hope that we don't ever need to teardown our own phones!
I love PBK because he talks about all the parts inside.
saved my life repairing this guy's mobo. Thank you so much for your work!
you're welcome
Damn bro.. this was quick. Nice!
Thanks!
Thank you, you are doing an amazing job
Thank you!
Wow so fast. Thank you!
you're welcome 👍
Great job bro 🔥
Thanks!
Not even received mine, but great to see, in case, its easy to repair 👌🏻 thx for the vid
You're welcome!
Awesome. And on time! 💓
👍
Greetings ❤ and respect to you my brother from Egypt
Hello, and thank you! :)
🔥great job sir always first🥇
Thanks! :)
Great video, thank you. I've been trying to work out the exact position of the wireless charging coils for retro fitting a magsafe ring to the back of the phone. If you get a chance would you be able to measure the distance from the top/bottom/sides of the phone to where you think the wireless charging coils start? Huge thanks in advance.
You're welcome. I don't have the device anymore to check, sorry.
Hey man I know this is a lil old but what would you recommend for me to be able to replace the back glass? I saw another video with someone doing it but to separate the glass from the wireless charger is very tricky. Would have been nice to do this before I replaced the screen lol but I didn't know it was so hard
If I where a beting man, I would put money on this channel blowing up to over a million subs in the not too distance future. You do fantastic job. Stright to the point, no BS. The way it should really be. keep it up.
I appreciate it, hopefully one day :)
Thank you for this important content!
You're welcome :)
amazing! ty!
No problem 😊
Excellent breakdown. I was wondering what the top slot was...Antenna :)
Thanks :)
Can you give us the distance of the charging coil's outer diameter from the volume buttons and the top or bottom of the phone? It would be nice to know where to put magsafe adapter stickers since it isn't obvious exactly where the coil is from the outside.
ありがとうございます！
You're welcome and thank you! :)
Nice work! Wondering if this is an optical or an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner?
Thanks, I believe it was an optical but not 100% sure.
It's optical
Great video. Thanks. Where are the gyro and ambient light sensor located? Is it possible to replace those without replacing the motherboard?
Thanks. The ambient light sensor or proximity sensor is shown @5:00 in the video. Not sure where the gyro is. The proximity sensor can be replaced.
Thank you very much for detailed video!
I had an issue and I tried to resolve it by replacing the chassis, so I removed basically everything.
Unfortunately the phone keep rebooting when not under power supply, and it become very hot.7
Keep going :)
Already... good job mate
Thanks!
Gosh you’re amazing
Please do Pixel 7 too😍😍😍
👍
Great job one of the fastest man
Unbelievable
Thanks!
I hope I never have to refer to a video like this, but if I do... I'm glad it exists. I'm not too worried about damage...but rather replacing the battery once it wears down due to normal use lol. Hopefully that won't be for a long time....but who knows.
Do you have extra part? The missing part comes off at the upperT4 screw location at 2:50-2:52. Other than that missing detail, this video is extremely helpful and very well done!
You amazing 👏 ❤️
😍😍😍
Man it looks really easy to repair. At least compared to other devices.
👍
wow incredible friend, I wanted to see its interior, thank you very much blessings 😇💯🙌🏻💡
Thanks and you're welcome :)
@@PBKreviews thank you 😇👍🏻
Superb....... Very Quickly and fast,
Does it have a magnet on the back magsafe style or a metal plate that allow to use the phone with magnet supports?
well the back of the phone is metal and has a cutout where the wireless charging coil goes.
Amazing guys
thanks!
Now I been at my screen forever heating it open and praying can't even get a pick between glass and body at all. How did yours go instantly?
Can the battery pull-tab be used to slice through the adhesive for easier removal?
Yeah should be able to
Great vid. Does the front speaker of the regular pixel 7 work the same as the 7 pro in terms of attachment position? I hated that the pixel 5 front speaker was attached to the screen and made it very hard to replace.
Not sure, haven't looked into the 7 yet but if I do then we will see :)
@@PBKreviews sure thing. I already reserved my pixel 7 non-pro! Massive improvement on this year
How many speakers are built into the device? I see 2 openings, 1 on each side of the charging port but I'm only hearing sound out of the right opening. Wanted to see if this is expected.
Inside of
Android devices: Rats nest, ugly, makes me feel sad
iPhones: Elegant, squeaky clean, makes me feel happy
I'm saving this for myself so I can replace the battery of my pixel 7 pro in 2 years. And you didn't damage the screen like some other CZcamsrs, which demonstrates that it's possible to change your battery without replacing the screen. Do you know if there's some kind of kit for a battery replacement for the pixel 7 pro? With the battery, graphite tape and rubber seal all included? Thank you so much in advance if you respond.
You're welcome. Here is a link to the parts for the pixel 7 pro: www.mobilesentrix.com/catalogsearch/result/?form_key=nO6eCy4sLuUTxxtn&q=Pixel+7+pro
yooo man was quick publishing...
👍 :)
Perfect 👍

Great video. Thankyou. Went rafting with mine and this morning all the cameras are fogged. If they don't clear in about a week it will be tear down time to clean the lenses on the inside. Doubt very much that warranty will cover from what I've read. Pixel 7 Pro should not come with a water rating IP68. It was a refurb unit, so that will have something to do with it.
Thanks and you're welcome
WOW great video, can you tell us what modem is in there please as if it is the same as last years PRO then the phone will be unusable in low signal areas, thanks for the teardown 🙂
Thanks, and you're welcome. I'm not sure which modem it has since its probably under the covered shields which I did not want to remove and risk damaging the board. :)
Love it
👍
Ur legend
Thanks! 👍
Hi, my Pixel 7 pro was dipped into the water from the camera side (not the usb side). It worked fine for a couple of hours, after which the camera stopped working. Noticed some water seeped into the front cam area. Kept the ohone in rice for 24 hours and restarted the phone (no water visible anymore). My front cam works fine but when using the back camera, screen is completely black. Everything else seems to work fine. How can i fix the back camera issue?
This video deserves at least one million views... Pixel 7 Pro should have had OIS for the UW, as well as for the front, and a TOF sensor as well for even better low-light performance... It is easily possible for Google to implement it.
There are next to no phones that have OIS on the ultrawide camera, because at these kinds of FOVs slight movements are not really visible on the photo. Also, TOF sensors do not contribute to a better low-light performance.
@@haoleiz5448 So, what is the problem with implementing OIS on a UW camera? Since these companies are charging such a huge amount, I guess there should be no problem in implementing it, and the TOF does make a difference in low-light, like the iPhone lidar sensor, which takes better portraits in low-light. The auto-focus is fast because of the TOF sensor.
@@tanmayfadnis5440 Well I think the main reason for not implementing OIS into the ultrawide camera is that the competition doesn't have it either. Given that neither the IPhone 14 Pro nor the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra have it, you can't really expect Google to use OIS for the ultrawide camera in my opinion, especially considering both Pixels being cheaper phones. I guess OIS on the ultrawide camera is just not an industry standard yet.
And in case of the TOF sensor, the IPhone does not make better low-light portraits due to the LIDAR sensor to my knowledge, it merely helps with edge detection. LIDAR can also scan 3d-objects as a bonus, but it doesn't help with image quality. Lastly, Google uses laser autofocus, making a TOF sensor a bit redundant
@@haoleiz5448 Ok, thanks for the info.
Unfortunate I can't get the replacement battery here in thailand. Lots of options are available for pixel 6 pro battery though, and they look extremely similar. idk.
Hi there, small question. While removing my case I heard a "crack" and I then noticed that the the 5G antenna (the small plastic piece shaped like an oval on the top of the phone) is quite loose and I can lift it up a little with my nails. Is that an issue that could cause me to lose any connectivity/that needs fixing?
That would probably just be the outer cover and not the antenna itself. The internal antenna should not be affected by it. However if the cover comes off, or breaks off, you can run into issues of dust or debris or even water getting into your phone.
I'd like to know why you don't open the S22+/Ultra from your previous videos starting from the display like with this teardown?
Because it's designed to be opened from the back for those phones compared to it being designed to be opened from the front on this phone. The phones which are designed to be opened from the front also generally don't have extremely strong adhesive around the screen that would make it difficult to pry off since there is a risk of damaging the screen if you need to repair anything inside the device.
Hey did they change the modem to Qualcomm or something else? Or did they stay with the modem that doesn't work in 80% of the usa
Still Samsung
Wow, well that didn't take long. Thanks for the teardown!
You're welcome :)
Wow Micron Ram chip. I hope the Rom should be micron too.
Absolutely
Very nice and right on time, thanks!
Does anybody know, who the manufacturer of the Pixel is?
You're welcome
Faster than the super Man. 😃. 👍
👍 :)
do u have a part number for the sim card reader?
mine is broken and i don't know where/how to get a replacement part.
Sorry not sure. Can't seem to find one online
Very cool. Question - my phone got wet - I dissembled it and dried it out, butt noticed that the volume down button wasn't working after. I did something stupid and shut the phone down, and now it will only boot into a fastboot menu, but not allow me to boot to the OS. Any ideas on what it could be or how I could either disconnect the volume altogether or boot into the OS?
Check and make sure there is no corrosion on any of the chips on the motherboard or connectors as well as the flex cable for the pwr and volume keys. If there is, use a small brush like a tooth brush to brush it off to prevent it from shorting. Most likely there is some corrosion either on the flex cable (which if I'm not mistaken was underneath the motherboard and the board sits on it making contact/connection) or by where the clickers behind the physical buttons are. So you may need to remove the screws holding the metal cover over the side buttons from the inside to release/remove it and clean out. Removing the flex cable completely wont help you since the power button flex is the same and you wouldn't be able to power it on. Most likely its just some corrosion or liquid left over shorting the cable making it think the volume up or down key are pressed and making it go into fastboot every time you power it on.
@@PBKreviews thank you. I have tried loosening the screws on the buttons (seems the volume up/down and the power are on the same rail.
I will go further and remove the motherboard and look to disconnect the volume altogether or at least clean any corrosion off.
Thanks so much. I appreciate your response.
Good job
👍 thanks
Where is the USB-C controller? Who makes it and what is it?
Can you identify where the bottom mic is located and whether its part of the motherboard or the bottom speaker assembly?
Its the gold square piece to the left of the charger port @4:29 in the video on the motherboard.
@@PBKreviews thank you! So I guess it is not replaceable without swapping out the entire motherboard...
Which type of adhesive and how and where do you apply it.
You can watch this video for a better explanation: czcams.com/video/T4iiPUIM7-Y/video.html
Very nice video, My phone was dropped into a pool while on vacation. It was removed and set out to dry but about 2 hours into drying it got very very hot to where the top screen was easily removed so I opened that up to finish drying. Of curse it does not work now. I would like my pictures so can buy an identiacl phone to swap parts and try recovering them but what part stores the pictures locally ? I will put that into a working phone and see if I can get the pics
thanks
Thanks. Always keep in mind, if your phone gets water damage (even if ip rated and water makes its way in), you need to take it apart as soon as possible and disconnect the battery cable as well as dry out any water inside and brush off corrosion on chips and connectors. Because if the battery stays plugged in, the parts will short and become unusable. You can try taking apart completely and brushing off any corrosion on the motherboard and connectors with a small brush like a tooth brush, and then place the board in a working screen assembly with a new battery to see if it will power up. This way you rule out the screen and battery being defective. But if you still have no luck then you probably are out of options. The data is stored on the ROM chip on the motherboard and that's soldered to the board and isn't user replaceable.
thank you very much for the reply@@PBKreviews
Hello, how can I check this water damage indicator without remove screen?
is there OIS on the telephoto lens? it's in some spec sheets but not all
Yes
@@PBKreviews Awesome, thanks for checking!
You're welcome
Important question: I repair my phones myself. Repairability is very important before I purchase a new phone. One question I have and is not clear from the video... Do have to dissemble EVERYTHING in case you have to replace the back panel of the phone. A glass back panel breaks easily. Is there an easy way to replace the back panel. Thanks
I tried to remove the back panel and it wouldn't budge so I didn't want to risk breaking it. It's possible you can still pry it off but its glued on tight. However the wireless charging coil is adhered to it as well, and the flex cable is routed inside the frame and under the main board, so if you are able to pry the back off, you would need to make sure your careful and are able to somehow peel off the wireless charging coil from the glass (if there is even enough work around room) so that you don't tear the cable. If not then you would need to disassemble the phone to remove the board and route the flex cable for the wireless charging/nfc out the back.
This Google pixel 7 pro looks it Would be Very Easy to Replace Parts 👍🔥😃 Especially to lift Front Screen like Nice 👍 Good video btw 👍💯
Thanks!
I broke the back glass. What do I do?
So the divot at the top is for the 5g antenna?
For the mmWave 5G antenna, not all networks use mmWave 5G, most use sub 6 gHz
Hi! I have my pixel 6a and I am worried that it can stop working and it can not be changed :c never damaged one in my life but I do not want this one to be the first.
My Pixel 7 Pro was damaged but still I was able to use it for a month until it suddenly died. I did everything I could but it just doesn't start. Can you help me figure out the problem?
good job
Thank you :)
You're the only Pro in that room!
👍
Nice
Thanks!
Is it equipped with an x-axis linear vibrator?
yes
Damn that was fast
👍
BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN SEPARATING THE SCREEN! THE PLASTIC FRAME MUST STAY WITH THE SCREEN! I was careful, used a heat gun, and gently separated it with a guitar pick, and even still, the pick went in-between the layers of the actual screen and killed it. It only poked into the layers 1mm or less and yet the screen is now non-functional. Make sure to start on the sides, NOT the top/bottom as that's where the screen layers can separate more easily. Also, put the pick/spudger straight down first as far as it will go and only then start angling it inwards to pry. Otherwise there's a good chance your spudger or pick will separate the screen layers and kill it.
That was quicker than I expected
👍
Hello. How about new Infinix Hot 20 5G? Thanks.
Hi, not sure I will be doing infinix since I don't get enough viewers for those phones to justify spending money to buy them.
i fixed my screen at a top repair place but the finger print is not showing ...how do i get it back
You would need to backup your data and do a factory reset (which would erase all you data) and if still no luck, then you can try running the fingerprint calibrations tool (pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/carrier_selection )
Curious, is the black USB-c port shell plastic? Google has been one of the only phone companies to use plastic usb-c ports that routinely fail early in phone ownership. I'm curious if they finally adopted metal usb-c ports like the rest of the industry. Thanks.
Yeah I believe it was still plastic.
If that truly is the case, wow. The pixel series is the only phone series where 3rd party USBC boards and flex are of superior quality than OEM. Good job google!
5:25 Why does the lens have black spots?
It's just shadows
What happened to the {Graphit Film}??
You mean when re-assembling it? I forgot to include it in the video, but when I took it apart again to add new adhesive etc, I placed it back on.
It has a similar structure to the existing Pixel Pro~
yup 👍
You are the first
👍
i love you broo🥀
