Experts iFixit disassembled the smartphone Google Nexus 6, assess its maintainability.
Case back glued, but separated quite easily.
For further disassembly screwdriver needed. Preparator noted as a positive development for the use of fixation components namely screws instead of latches, glue and tape. Another plus: although the battery capacity of 3220 mA ∙ h made removable, replace it entirely possible.
An interesting element of design: disk rim that covers the main camera lens, a light guide is used for the two LEDs, resulting in a ring flash, providing more uniform illumination.
On the main circuit board of the device is chip RAM LPDDR3 production SK Hynix H9CKNNNDBTMTAR (3 GB), which is hidden under the SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 805. In addition, the visible power controller Qualcomm PMA8084, flash memory eMMC SanDisk SDIN9DW4-32G volume 32 GB modem LTE Qualcomm MDM9625M, RF transceiver Qualcomm WTR1625L, receiver Qualcomm WFR1620, DSP Texas Instruments TMS320C55 and other components, among which – a LED RGB, positioned opposite the speaker grille.
Experts attributed to the pluses design facilitating repair, separable cable connections, the use of one, and widespread, the type of screws and avoiding the use of glue and latches. In cons got installation of components such as the vibrating motor slot SIM, a speaker and a connector microUSB, directly on the PCB, making it difficult to replace them. In addition, the union considered minus the touchscreen display and a component that increases the cost of replacement. In general, again, the unit has earned quite appreciated – seven out of ten points.
