The Huawei P40 Lite was recently subjected to teardown treatment on PBKreviews YouTube channel. Unsurprisingly, it is simple to disassemble like any other mid-range smartphone in the market. Though it is easy to repair, it is a hectic job for one particular reason.
Even before announcing the standard Huawei P40, P40 Pro, and P40 Pro Plus, the company launched the lite variant of the device dubbed as P40 Lite. That is because this handset is nothing but a rebranded Huawei Nova 6 SE launched back in December 2019 in China.
The back of this device features plastic panel unlike the glass ones on its bigger siblings. Hence, it comes out smoothly by using a pry tool after applying some heat. This gives the initial access to the internals, which are further covered by plastic plates at the top and bottom parts of the phone with 18 Phillips screws.
Once the plastics are removed, almost all the internal cables can be disconnected. Only then, the battery of the Huawei P40 Lite can be pried out using the included pull tape or with a pry tool. After that, access to the mid-frame with display cable is obtained.
Now, once the cable for the display is disconnected, the screen can be removed by applying heat and prying it out from the front. This is the hectic job we mentioned in the beginning. The phone is surely easy to repair but if the display gets damaged, the whole device has been taken apart to replace it.
