I guess they replaced the back, then saw that the camera didn’t pop up anymore, freaked out and smashed the screen.

[@dimitris_zelo]

🤣

[@sourav7162]

He's done it intentionally to make this video.

[@aadijha3347]

i would guess that the screen was already broken, but im dumb

[@luiis6674]

or he was trying to change the screen

[@TheColinputer]

As someone who has felt like yeeting a phone across the room mid repair when something didnt go right i can understand that reaction.

[@philjtephenson41]

I bought one of these the month they came out, imported it from CN... i remember using it for the first time, the wow factor was off the charts, everyone thought it was so advanced and looked stunning, been a fan of Oppo ever since and have a Find X3 Pro as my daily driver....love the vid, always interesting to see one brought back to life, the engineering needed to make these was so advanced.....Thanks for the little trip down memory lane Hugh!

[@AiMR]

This is the direct result of someone watching a Hugh Jeffries video and thinking "I can do that, that's easy!" It's a lot harder than Hugh makes it look folks.

[@cryssyboo_1048]

can confirm, much, much harder

[@rizkirachm355]

So many things that can go wrong in repairing the phone, that's why i appreciate this kind of content.

[@josefmprable]

not really, just do a lot of research before doing it, and youll get it done. i guess thats just me lol

[@Garrettdx1988]

It's not bad. I recently got into repairing phones because of Hugh's videos. There's only one phone I had issues with, but it was known to be notoriously hard to repair (HTC One X, if you're curious)

[@bd360_online]

That's why experience in repair is required. I repaired my phone "Oppo Find 7a" the first time and it was difficult in the first time. Thankfully I did it well.

[@libertyordeaf]

With those moving camera parts and all those hidden cables under foam inserts and what-not, this looked much more fiddly than the usual repairs.

[@HeTake123]

Yet people say Apple are the ones making repairs hard for people.

[@Wraikey]

@@HeTake123 Apple is making it unnecessary hard thats true. The find X is much more complex than a traditional iPhone. I mean, the camera alone is much more complex than the iphone in a whole. But there is a difference between those 2. If you are skilled you can get the find X to new condition again. You cant do that with an Iphone cause Apple tries to get you out of their phone. Every little bs is paired to the phone. Therefor if you diy repair your new iphone you will lose half of the features (not that there are many in the first place)

[@HeTake123]

@@Wraikey I don’t agree. The most common repairs you will do on phones are screen and battery, both of those repairs are really easy to do on iPhones. On most Android phones you don’t get pulltabs for the battery and screen repairs require full disassembly.

[@Wraikey]

@@HeTake123 Screen repair makes you lose true tone, battery repair makes you get an error for you battery health even if it's authentic (like from another iphone). Both repairs dont affect your usage of the phone on an android.

[@HeTake123]

@@Wraikey True tone can be fixed on most models, and a message does not affect the performance in any way (can also be programmed on most models)

[@jameswoll]

This is probably my favorite disassembly/reassembly you've done. I like how you TOTALLY understate how unique of a build that is! Well done, man. Also, shout out to Oppo for that battery wrap for ease of replacement! An audible WOW came out of my mouth, lol.

[@samrudegamer]

Such a complex and mind blowing engineering in a phone makes it more satisfying to see it disassemble and assemble when done perfectly.

[@07cowboy07]

Your voice sounded different in this video. You sound much happier and there is "cheer" in your tone. Hope things are going really well for you!

[@SpaceWithSam]

Another incredible restoration, good job Hugh!👍😎

[@Carloskiee]

Yes

[@mikoji123]

sadly the screen he used died after 2 days... a partial fail restore but still working... if he has time to restore this again... i would love to watch it again... but he choose to sell this for someones projects...

Oh man! This mechanism is so complex! You're insane Hugh! Kudos man!

[@juniorcook4094]

Exactly

[@b0as_cs]

This must've been stressful, hats off to you Hugh

[@alpha3836]

Amazing restoration as always!

[@liveroy]

Three things: The screen you purchased is very likely genuine part, since these require more than a simple factory line to make. Hence the price. 2. Using decent liquid adhesive is always the better option, unless you have access to proper vulcanizing machine and decent quality adhesive. This tape you use is rather strong if it has enough area to stick to, but in phones, usually you don't. 3. It's a novel device, hence it's kind of strange.

[@danielseb6176]

So satisfying video, whenever I see his update I just lay on coach and watch.

[@DXPedro]

I always find these videos very soothing, particularly the cleaning part. xD

[@markbennett6658]

Great stuff. I’ve not seen one of those stripped down before although Zack has probably been there! I think it’s actually a very cleverly implemented and well engineered phone. Definitely one of my favourite Android phones period.

[@dundoire194]

Fantastic work Hugh!!!!

[@Nononoone]

I always wanted a full screen display phone ended up getting the f2 pro a few months ago it's brilliant love the pop up

[@mattsanchez4893]

Good Lord that looked complicated, although for Hugh it was just “ not too bad”

[@MB-bs3ji]

Yay to next fully working phone! You could do a price summup on the end, like how much it costed you to repair it. It would also be an indication of how repairable it is, because some devices are more costly to repair than to buy new. Also are you maybe planning on trying consoles?

[@sabenorioglenbertn.1039]

I always enjoy your video, Hugh. Good job!

[@bd360_online]

Although their phones have a few bloatwares and unnecessary Google apps that cannot be disabled, I still impressed how Oppo can make a stable but still repairable non-locked hardwares. 😮 That repair is satisfying to watch. I was worried that internals could be more complicated but Hugh successfully repaired it. Awesome!. 😄

yeeeesiiiir i still use this phone and i was hoping i would see a repair video from you on this phone

[@atiriko]

You can stick the red tape on the rear glass around the edges and cut the excess with a scalpel. That's the best way to apply non genuine adhesive. Great video!

[@alisonsmith4436]

I love the video and the fact that you give these phones a second life😃

[@f937r]

My opposition to the "hidden front camera" is its a moving part which is possible failing point. Yea it's nice not having the notch or pinhole, but... gonna suck if the motor happens to fail after a year...

[@ralune9216]

I agree with you, it's a huge possible failing point, not to mention that this phone is also fragile. Oppo Find X was my daily driver and I still use it every now and then, while mine works just fine until now, using it feels like you're holding a piece of glass.

[@citechnologies4907]

If this phone had a plastik back, it would definitely have a user replaceable battery. The construction on the inside with all the plastic covers looks very similar to old smartphones with replaceable batterys.
