    Fun teardown. It's always nice to see one survive. Dumb question you've probably answered elsewhere at some point in the past: what do you do with the tech you teardown that survives? I remember, I think anyways, hearing that you part out the stuff that ends your videos completely broken. This one appears to be more than serviceable still. Is it destined to be parted out too?

    It's quite common to have holes like this on the screen for the proximity sensor for recent phones wiht thin bezels. You have to put them somewhere. And I still don't see what the big deal is, you'll have a camera that's visible anyway that can record at any time. Since Andriod 12, you have a camera and microphone indicator in the system anyway (up to you if you trust it or not) and it's not like you can just tape off your camera with the whole screen around it. The only safe option was the motorized retractable cameras, but even then the microphones could listen if you want to be paraniod.

    • @KazeMemaryu
      @KazeMemaryu Před rokem +1

      I don't think that is the issue at hand. The problem there is that this can be an uninformed surveillance method, which can be seen as wiretapping, depending on circumstances. There are special phone cases to cover the cameras, and plenty of unofficial apps to restrict mic activities, and no company should be compelled to install extra hidden hardware, except with malicious intent of breaching privacy beyond the ability of the user.

    • @sandorbence2067
      @sandorbence2067 Před rokem +2

      @@KazeMemaryu The possibility has been there for a long time, it's something you can do with pretty much all OLED screens as they are so thin by design. I still don't think this is an issue as if any reputable brand would try to do this and were found out, they would look at serious fines, lawsuits and potential bans (just look what happened to Huawei for a lot less). There are easier methods to manipulate the already existing cameras, mics or just install some sort of malware/spyware app or backdoor on your system. Or just add the extra camera and sell it with as a feature.

    I miss the good 'ol days when the entire inside of a phone was filled with the PCB and the battery was external and quickly swappable lol

    I wish they still made plastic screens and back panels phones. I know, they get scratched easily but I use a glass screen protector even if the phone has a gorilla glass screen, so I don't even use it anyway. At least this way, it wouldnt break when I drop it on the ground.
