Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are now released, so it’s time to separate them.

To study Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 6, we can watch the video. When you turn on Pixel 6 or Pixel 6, you can see that there is a lot of heat dissipation inside. The back of the screen is made of copper, which makes it a good heat sink.

The inside of the phone is cooled by the thermally conductive graphite film covering the inside, making it look slightly cleaner than the clean inside of the iPhone 13.

The back of the display is also interesting. On the left is the under-display fingerprint reader, which is why the company prefers these components to capacitive back fingerprint readers.

An optical scanner only a few millimeters thick is placed on the back of the screen.

You can also see the brightness and proximity sensor cutouts under the display, as well as the invisible homes of fingerprints and other sensors.

According to PBK, there are some interesting differences between Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. The haptic motor is located at the bottom of the Pro model, and it faces the top of the baseline Pixel 6.

The bottom position is more preferable because this is where your hands are usually located, providing you with a better sense of tactile movement.

Some Pixel 6 models do not include millimeter waves, while others do. If the device you purchased does not contain millimeter waves, in the millimeter wave area, you will find...a placeholder metal block.

As evidenced by this disassembly, the design of the 5G millimeter wave function of Pixel 6 does not seem to have been well thought out. There are many reasons why millimeter wave is not an excellent mobile phone feature.

Since operators use millimeter waves to justify the 5G speed claims in their advertisements, it has received too much attention. However, the truth is that almost no one can reliably access millimeter waves.

According to a recent OpenSignal survey, people who use compatible devices spend only 0.8% of their time on millimeter waves.

Even if you can use the Pixel location network, it only has a millimeter wave antenna located on the top edge of the phone (in a very visible plastic window).

The reputation of providing high download speeds is most of the reason for the mM wave in mobile phones.

In this case, landscape mode will be used because most of this speed is used for media consumption. But in landscape mode, the antenna on the top prevents the millimeter wave signal from entering your hand.

Compared with the Galaxy S21, Pixel’s design choice is that it has only one antenna, which has two millimeter wave antennas on each side of the phone, and is more likely to work better in any lateral position.

Because it is easy to block millimeter-wave signals by hand, Qualcomm’s original millimeter-wave document proposed four antennas—one on each side of the smartphone—because technically there is no need for more.

Most people will never encounter millimeter wave signals, but if you can encounter them on Pixel 6, the location of the antenna makes it look like marketing fluff.

Unfortunately, iFixit seems to have abandoned the Pixel series, and their last complete dismantling was for Pixel 4.

I am very disappointed that neither of these two videos discusses motherboard chips nor resolves them.

In addition to Samsung's Exynos 5G modem and any other components that Google is using, it is nice to see Google's Tensor SoC and other components being used; nonetheless, this movie is only about replacement parts.

In terms of repairability, the USB-C connection is soldered to the motherboard, which makes the normally damaged components more difficult to repair.

Everything is fixed together as usual, which means that any repairs may affect the water resistance of the device.

The team from PBK Reviews also replaced some components to see if there were any iPhone-style software locks that could not be repaired.

When they changed the screen, they encountered a problem message when changing the fingerprint sensor.

The follow-up update of the video description pointed out that after visiting Google's official repair site, running some calibration software, and then restoring the device to factory settings, they successfully made the sensor operate normally.
