The greatest complexity is to remove the back cover of the device.
Most owners of smartphones have little interest in what is contained inside their devices, content with the information that the manufacturer specifies in the specifications. But there are those who certainly need to see with your own eyes, what made their unit, and see how easy it it to replace certain components in the event of a necessary repair. Especially for them, many online resources publish photos and videos of the disassembly of the most interesting novelties on the market, giving their assessment of maintainability. This time the “victim” of experts from FoneArena has become OnePlus 3 — the third generation “killer flagships” from young but ambitious Chinese company.
Describe in detail the process of disassembly we will not — everything is visible on the video. We note only that the back cover of the smartphone is made of one piece and quite thick aluminium sheet, and maintainability OnePlus 3 specialists FoneArena got 7.5 points out of 10. They also noted that the greatest complexity is to remove the back cover of the device. Once this element of the case removed, the remaining components are extracted without much difficulty.
In addition, from these videos that in 3 OnePlus used the following electronic components:
