Google Pixel 8 Teardown Disassembly Repair Video Review 

god damn you're fast. this is the video i was looking for :) looking forward to the 8 pro teardown.

Very quick, thank you! Waiting for the 8 pro

Battery drain test would be highly appreciated.

Wow thank you for the quick video! It still sucks that the charge port is soldered to the mainboard.

The charging port being soldered is so frustrating

I think,it’s one of the best RU-vid channel for smartphone teardown, probably number 1, Cause whenever i search any smartphone teardown video, i always see your channel already have this video 😅 😍 Take love from BD 🇧🇩 😘😘

Man, I love watching your teardowns, very instructional and are a great tutorial. You also help me quite a lot in choosing my phones because of your explanations and scoring. It's great to know what we are paying for. Keep it up brother!!

Battery replacements seem nice and not too crazy difficult

It will be interesting to see teardowns in 2 years time when adhesive will be almosnt non existence as self repair & easy battery replacemnt must happen.

WoW，這個設計實在是太讓人驚訝了，我需要考慮購買了... 1.螢幕後的銅箔居然沒有絕緣，且用石墨片不是更好嗎?更輕?更好的THERMAL? 2.電池上石墨片居然可以凌駕Google，把主要 logo 蓋住了，石墨不能破孔露出LOGO嗎? 3.電池上居然沒用上易拉膠如何更換？還用上沒有防火等級的MYLAR片? 4.電池下的膠 要改成條紋狀 比較好撕開，泡棉等級很差... 5.補釘式設計 沒有美感...

Very nice 👍 I feel like you need a rubber mat, so the phone doesnt slide around. But i haven't seen white mats though.

Happy to see such a huge heat sink

This man is from another planet 😅

Would be great to see how face unlock works in low light conditions. The face unlock system, beside the small form factor, is a thing that i really love at my Pixel 4. If the face unlock system from Pixel 8 works as good as the one from the Pixel 4, i think that Pixel 8 will be my next phone ❤

this is the content we're here for! :)

Google continues improving the internal construction of their phones. Goog job.

Please do a short speaker test compared to Pixel 7 Pro and/ or other devices 🙏

The struggle with the pull band was perfect 🤣

Looking at the thermal system in this video I wonder how the heat management of this device going. Really hope it's working to reduce heat from the processor.

I'm 1 minute into this video and I feel duped by the Google presentation. They made it sound like it would be easy to replace the screen or battery. "'Apply heat to loosen the adhesive" is already outside the scope of 'easy'. Possible, yes.

So just an idea, have you tried applying a little bit of heat to the battery before trying using the plastic strip? I know heat isn't good for any comment but Im sure using just a wee bit would be fine

Is Pixel 8 Screen a flexible OLED panel? Or It's Still a Rigid OLED?

Great work mate! Please post a full review with the battery performance and throttling performance. Also what's the charging speed it's capable of and how long does it take to charge. Also whether the pixel 8 has an optical fingerprint sensor or the ultrasonic?

massively underrated channel

Hi @PBKreviews: Great Video(s) thanks for sharing teardowns like that with us! :) One question if I may, starting in 1:13 little springs are visible along the edge that connect to the back-side of the screen when assembled. Currently the thread count for weird bumps visible in bright light (light needs to be as bright so that the screen becomes blue) goes up on reddid where users (including me) see those when the screen is turned off. I have also recorded one video (in my profile, an attempt to link it here was removed automatically). In case you have time to watch that/consider - do you think those bumps/dents could be a by-product of a assembly issue at the factory causing those springs to touch the screen a bit too hard so that the dents/bumps are visible from the front. In that case, could that in theory cause screen issues over time or would that rather be a cosmetic mini issue (I could accept a cosmetic issue, my only concern would be in case that could potential damage the screen over time)?

No vapour chamber cooling I thought they will use it in pixel 8 when they used in pixel fold

It’s clean in the inside And I should say the cleanest pixel on the inside

This taught me why I shouldn’t buy cheap smartphone given the requirement of genuine chips and parts with proper detailing installations, whereas, in cheaper phones materials are compromised surely with less focus that could severally harm us in long term even blast

Great video. Can you also do a Pixel 8 Pro teardown? It would also be interesting to know more specifics about the main wide sensor. Is it a Samsung GN1? Or GN2? Is there maybe some writing on the backside?

But isn't this graphite layer on the battery missing, which could lead to heat issues?

great work! how about replacement of flashlight?

Doesn't it have any kind of heat dissipation system?

Thanks for the teardown. Could you figure out which sensor the main sensor is? Because according to the specs it surprisingly is neither the gn2 or gn1, except Google made mistakes in their own official data sheets. (it is stateted, that the pixel 8 has ultra hdr which the gn1 isnt capable of but it is also stated that the sensor is 1/1,3, but the gn2 would be 1/1,12)

Is the fingerprint reader optical or Ultrasonic ?

Did you ever connect it to a cellular network and notice anything about cellular reception?

NF.2322 18 SB3 Main A863A - Does this tell us anything about the main camera sensor?

Wow! Thank you..

GN2 or GN1?

How are the thermals of the Pixel 8 Pro?

PBK we love you here in the U.K.

Thank you for the review. Can you run the 3dmark wild life extreme benchmark and tell me the score? Many people are curious.

Hey, I was wondering, do you remember if the speaker grills are some fabric mesh? I was trying to clean it and pieced a hole. I don't know if it will impact how waterproof it is.

No vapor 💨 chamber beneath the battery like Oppo OnePlus or Xiaomi flagships ?

on pixel 8, there is a gap between the aluminum frame and the back cover on the side of the buttons, which is not on the other side. In the promo video, they focus on it, but other users don't have it, is this

Привет! Кто то сталкивался с зазором на задней крышке? У меня можно в эту щель, лист юумаги просунуть, и это не считают боаком в моем магазине

Thanks👍

It has a similar internal structure to the Pixel 7.

Not including a 5mm wave antenna was a battery saving measure?

Thank you very much for this insightful video! Could you report on the precise position and dimensions of the wireless charging coil? This would be very helpful to mount a metallic ring for a magnetic phone holder.

Will the Pixel 7 and 7 pro be getting pixel 8 camera features with OS upgrade ?

Why is there a hole in the back of the screen like something punctured through? Near the square tape

What's the indent on the top left of the phone looks like a button but not really? Opposite side of the mic on the top

Is it the same modem used in pixel 7 series?

Do the screens of the 8/8 Pro still feel and sound hollow when you tap them?

Is that main camera sensor GN1 still from predecessor?

can swap module wired cam from pixel 8 pro to pixel 8?.as i see, it same demensitions?

Is the main camera ISOCELL GN2 ?

So basically Google touting the phone is way more repairable, is a blatant lie.

Hi @PBKreviews, has the top ear speaker a mesh filter like the bottom one? Thank you.

Hello, thank you for the video. It's very informative. In your opinion, is this a more durable phone than the Pixel 5a? I dropped my 5a and the screen stopped working, although the front glass was intact. I would like to know if these kinds of situations are not going to bappen withh the pixel 8.

USB port soldered in the MB, no expandable storage while there is a thing called microsd epxress card.... still a no

You are the fastest~

Same design as the 7 which streamlines design yet they charged more this year

That stupid battery pull tab design still last 3 pixel generations is concerning

I don't remember you mentioning where the antenna cable is

Do you believe that the phone is still somewhat water-resistant after the disassembly? Its rather disappointing that the charging port is soldered, I love what Nokia did with the Nokia G22. I won't mention the Fairphone, that's a whole different level.

Nice

Hi, can you tell what type of fingerprint sensor this is? doesn't look like an optical one.

Is the display cable built in the same way, as in Pixel 7 Series? What do you think, will the P8 suffer from the same green flicker display problems, as Pixel 7?

Could you please test the fingerprint. Thanks

just curious, why it doesnt have 5g mmwave antenna? is it an international version? or google's just lazy to put it in us versio

Ma il finger print è ottico o ultrasonic ? Grazie from italy

Neat and clean inside.

hi sir love from bangladesh

When replacing the battery, i assume you would have to replace the graphite film to not mess up the thermals and also find new adhesive for the screen online, correct?

After removing my battery and placing it back, the phone didn't charge nor power on, any help 😣?

Non-replaceable USB-C Port 👎

Hi, just want to confirm @7:15, is the copper film and metal block surrounding it the only cooling component for the chipset?

No vapor chamber for heat dissipation. It'll throttle like Pixel 6 and 7 series or how IPhones do, because Apple and Google insist on no vapor chamber and think a graphite/copper film is enough lol

Hello, Can Galaxy S23 battery be installed in S22?

Beautiful Google logo.

Good

Hello 👋 Friend Excellent Video today's Cell Phones in Repair Sunday 😁🙏❤️📱🇻🇪🇺🇲🗽

How's the build quality? And the water resistivity? Will I be downgrading on build quality and water damage if I went from my s22 plus to this?

Do you know what 5g modem it has?

But has the fingerprint sensor changed?? That's what I want to know. It looks different, but is it just a different cable, or a totally different sensor? Is it still optical, or is it ultrasonic?

So any way to confirm which sensor that is?

Didnt this phone get announced 2 hours ago LMAO

I think you should work a little more on your commentary and video editing. Jerryrigeverything makes similar content and gets millions of views mostly because he has good storytelling skills and better editing. No hate at all towards your channel, you're always the first one to do the teardowns just giving a few suggestions. Peace!

My Pixel 8 makes a "rattling" sound when I shake it. I believe it's somewhere on the upper part. It never dropped as far I know. So actually looked for a teardown video to check what it could be, looking to the internals. But everything seems to be tightly fitted and screwed. It seems there're not actually components that might have gotten loose. Anyone anny idea if this is normal or not. And if not, what it could be?

where is the wireless charging coil?

No vapor chamber? Overheating again?

removed my battery and placed it back, now it only shows low battery and doesn't seem to charge when charger is plugged in.should i get a new battery?

Will the 8 or 8 pro support video out via type c? Like a desktop mode?

amazing

Volume button feels a bit loose?

Man I just bought my pixel 3 days ago and accidentally dropped it while getting out of the van now the back glass is cracked 😭 phone repair place doesn't even have the parts yet since the phone has just came out !

How do I fix the screen randomly turning fuzzy green? Seems to be a pretty massive problem for the pixel 8 based on the amount of Google results.

Whats the camera sensor? GN1 or GN2? Thank you!

Everyone is waiting for the battery perfomance..
