A teardown of Google’s latest Pixel 5a 5G smartphone has been spotted and it confirms that the device is not easily disassembled and thereby pointing that it will not be an easily reparable smartphone.
The video credited to PBK reviews shows several of the internal elements of the Pixel 5a 5G. The comprehensive examination showed that that the screen could be properly extracted, of course with the right tools and expertise. The screen also has a plastic frame that is surrounded by a strong water–repellent adhesive seal.
A large black graphene film covering becomes visible when the screen is removed, and this is covering the battery of the latest affordable smartphone from Google. Several other protective coverings are observed in various parts of the internals of the smartphone.
The video reveals how the main cameras and battery were removed from the panel with the application of some alcohol solvent. A cursory look at the video shows how it will be pretty difficult to disassemble the device, and it is appropriately rated 5/10 on the reparability scale.
The Google Pixel 5a 5G was launched last week and is already available. It features a 6.34-inch screen, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB internal storage. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G 5G chipset, offers dust and water resistance with its IP67 rating, runs on the Android 11 operating system out of the box, and offers 18W fast charging.
