Pixel 2 Teardown! - Its actually kinda cool...

Lets teardown the Pixel 2. In this video I will take apart the Pixel 2, the lastest flagship released from Google this fall (2017) and show how the scree is removed, as well as the google pixel battery. Fix your Pixel yourself with parts and a free guide from iFixit!: ifix.gd/2zN2JpI Its surprisingly easy. The most interesting thing... is what covers the charging port. This video shows the disassembly of the pixel 2, as well as how to put the phone back together. If you want to see how to open and how to take apart a pixel 2, this is the video to watch.

*They'll unsnap like little Legos*

[@MikeTrieu]

That time when Zack flawlessly removes the display from the Pixel 2 and the iFixit engineers shatter it and docks it repairability points for their incompetence.

[@leexgx]

Mike Trieu, they need to look at this video lol

[@maraschwartz6731]

Then again they shattered the screen on the pixel 2 xl

[@Gokulbalram]

If it really requires that much effort to remove, don't you think it's logical to decrease the points?

[@blakehenderson8828]

Had them repair mine for water damage that casued the screen to not respond to my finger. Got it back and squeeze function wasn't working which was their bad as it was prior to getting "fixed"

[@servantbyday]

Gokul Balram nah

[@SwardiSwagward]

Nice; I concur.

[@GUMMYBEAYUH]

Thank you for this teardown, and it's extremely helpful for those of us who enjoy modifications, repairs, and otherwise understanding how it all works.

[@Billy_D]

All i see is bunch of extra space for headphone jack...

[@sauravkarmakar3704]

R. Batinic nice joke

[@josephkreifelsii6596]

Care to point it out? Let me say this: You need: 1. Space for the actual 3.5mm jack 2. Space for a larger motherboard. (Headphone jacks aren't magic) 3. Space to isolate the headphone jack from interference.

[@angryitalian3430]

R. Batinic even if there was, there isn't a "bunch of extra space". And it's noted that Google removed it before they had a huge following so it wouldn't be as hard of a blow since everyone will remove them eventually.

[@sauravkarmakar3704]

wasn't it a joke?

[@josephkreifelsii6596]

El Grando Smokio Was there a point to that? Way smaller phone had fewer features... A LOT FEWER.... and was a lot thicker. Thus, leaving a ton of room for proper motherboard and 3.55mm port.

[@TampaTec]

👍 great teardown and yes Google has a well designed phone inside and out. 🤳

[@jakeaivilo3821]

Inside not outside

[@TyplerGames]

I hate how the camera and flash are reversed. Looks awkward

[@BillAnt]

All phones should have this "easy to replace screen" design, which is very similar to the Samsung "J" series where the screen comes off from the front (or even iPoop screens). lol

[@ronaldwest5769]

Couldn't agree more switched from 5s to pixel 2 going to wait for the five and just replace screen

[@SFSAtlas]

Thanks

[@soljafurkan]

Remember myself coming onto your channel for small little things, you have helped me with alot and i respect you. There was a point in time where you started off with just a few thousand. I come back to find you with a million. Love it, thanks for everything.

opening a phone makes someone "best hardware guy" ??? interesting point of view

[@marekvedral6891]

Extreme Apple fanboy Extreme Apple fanboy He makes fun of everything that is not practical or doesn't make sense in phones. Personally I liked how he roasted Apple every time for the headphone jack

[@HeBbIHocuMbIu]

ISHAN KHANDELWAL agree

[@iroghamaosasuyi231]

I have been watching your videos since I came across your durability test for One Plus 3. As always, you do an amazing job with this tear down and your videos. They are all awesome. Good job Jerry. Well done!!! Thanks mate. Cheers

[@isoertz]

he did a really good job taking the screen off. i work on those everyday and i know it is not an easy job. props Jerry!

[@larsbarsthe4441]

Why did we need to remember the little guy because you definitely forgot it?

[@avgeekgupta]

best comment, you made my day

[@MrLebowski405]

I wish these videos existed when i was a kid... You have no idea how many things i broke taking apart out of curiosity. I used to get in trouble for it. Broke a couple things simply by not paying close enough attention how it went together and couldn't get it back together correctly. Couple more things were broken by paper-thin ribbon cables that tore when coming apart. (this was from like ages 7-13) These videos would have (and do today) satisfied my curiosity and i never would have taken any of that stuff apart. But this was in the early-mid 90's and there was no such thing as KZbin...

[@punani_slayer4209]

Cody M if u were smart u wouldn't have broken it

[@mrtuvok5578]

Me too

[@Domo-]

Cody M haha same here

[@stephentv1012]

Insane that all of this tech goes into such a small device. Great video!!

I love the tear down I will probably watch and like 50 times I am serious.fantastic job.

[@carlosco]

Thanks! I used this guide to replace the battery and screen of my old broken Pixel 2, I spent around 80 dollars in the screen and battery replacement parts then I did the job my self and now it feels like a brand new phone!

[@superhouhoucool]

How could people dislike this peice of art??°^° I usualy like before watching zacks videos x)

[@TheLegend-db7us]

i dont need a heat-gun, all i need is to tern on my phone for half a minute and im good to go.

[@EliSmith]

Your audio always sounds absolutely amazing

[@DixieNormous1]

Definitely the best video on KZbin for working on your phone

[@DevanshTiwari]

*Pixel 2 Looks Beautiful From Inside.*

Wubba Lubba Dub Dub Wow, I think he did.

[@YoungMachette]

Yeah I have to say Google's polish and care was really showing there, I very rarely hear this dude get impressed during these.

[@SuchirKavi]

It's cuz they painted the board black like the iPhone. The 2 XL leaves it unpainted for some reason.

[@s3renity690]

No it does not. It looks like Google recycled every part and squeezed them together inside. It’s ugly.

[@AA-xq5nq]

Wasn't falling asleep but now ur voice will do the work after watching 😁

[@connor9568]

A A So ASMR?

[@AA-xq5nq]

[@robertmorin5215]

Once again another nice teardown Jerry. This midframe looks to be quite unusual but must help to keep in place all the inside components.

[@WhileyisaEskiboy]

Zack, You seem to be my go to guy, as soon as it's bed time I jump on KZbin and see if after a few days you have released something new, if not I just drop right down your list to remind me of a slightly younger version of you haha good stuff ! Thanks for all you do there's something satisfying about your vids!

[@AIBaron10K]

Not sure if you ever check back on the comments on old videos, but I just wanted to say thanks. I used this as well as the ifixit guide to help with a battery replacement. Not only are your videos entertaining, but super helpful in prolonging the life of our electronics. Thanks for all you do!

[@AuraMaster7]

“Remember this silver grounding” **not mentioned once during reassembly**

[@maxfutterman9898]

This is an excellent video. Your voice is so great for this too- almost meditative in nature. Good work!

[@Trikkyy]

Omg! This video is trending! Nice job! I love it.

Do the Pixel 2 XL please

[@AshLordCurry]

It's pretty much the same dumbass

All these tear down videos are the same but yet I can’t stop watching them. Dude has the best voice

[@NelsLindahl]

I watched the whole video. It was nicely done. You really don't allow any dead air within the voice over...

[@trophix]

You forgot to place the silver ribbon underneath the camera @ 1:45 before putting the screen back on.

[@tyree9835]

How was it kinda cool?

[@EstherTakumi]

Because it easy to make replacement if some hardware are broken, look at the screen, just open it infront, unlike other flagship, if the screen crack, you need to open it from the back.

[@lamandigital]

I'd say 7/10.

[@techcraft111]

Yes, Pixel 2 is manufactured by HTC and Pixel 2 XL is manufactured by LG

[@techcraft111]

[@TraceguyRune]

Raihan Patel both are manufactured by Google.

[@techcraft111]

TraceguyRune Google had no hardware team to make smartphone.. So they always needed other companies to make phones for them.. It is been the case since nexus era as well. Pixel 3 will be manufactured by google tho. Cause Google recently bought Pixel section of HTC.

[@jithinjose7515]

It's so neat from inside, not at all complicated function easy to identify internal parts of the phone...all in all it's a good phone ...

[@Rexcrispy]

Gulam Mohiddin I was also hoping he would highlight this

[@Pleshie]

What secret chip?

[@gulammohiddin5747]

Doctor Google has made a secret chip on pixel 2. Secret coz Google didn't reveal it during the launch for unknown reasons.. Its called Pixel Visual Core. Its an octa core processor for better performance for processing/capturing hdr+ images.. the chip will be made use of after the planned 8.1 android update..

[@Pleshie]

Gulam Mohiddin oh wow. Does anyone know it's purpose yet?

[@maroofjuneja498]

Glad to know that it has good repairablity coz Google knows that durability is not on par with competition so there are more chances of repairing 😂😂 seriously they think about their employees 🤣

[@adulladahalrifat8173]

when soft developer made hardware then hardware turned into softhardware :P :P

[@metapeutic]

so you're saying when a phone is hard to repair its more durable? how dumb are you?

[@maroofjuneja498]

Joaquim Thomas obviously....if something is tough to repair, means it's fully sealed and supported by frame to withstand stress and pressure. Also it means that device is completely packed to utilize space. Pixel2's space is not utilised optimally that's why they removed 3.5 jack and not included wireless charging, dual camera & microsd

[@michaelsieber98]

Just a short thing about google phones reliability. My 2015 Nexus 6p is still up to date working flawlessly and survived dozens of drops on stone or tiles. And it also never bended in tight jeans. And this was a phone where Jerry said it was awful in durability. So I guess before judging these phones, let`s see what they are capable of

[@acmv71192]

Hey “Jerry” keep up the good teardown videos. I love these 😂 can you do an Apple Watch series 3 tear down?

[@user-wt4te7fu6i]

For such a dissapointment from a phone, I have to admit it's well-built..

[@gawkyadroit5869]

I don't see how it's a disappointment. Though the pixel is not flashy, it's just a more simplistic version of the iPhone that instead of showing off (*cough* Animoji *cough*), it does its job as well as possible. It has the best AI, the best camera, and the most easy to use interface. I don't see everyone's problem btw with the headphone jack. Sure, they made fun of apple, but to make up for the lack of headphone jacks, they created the best air buds on earth that LITERALLY BREAK THE LANGUAGE BARRIER. Wow. Such a disappointment I guess.

[@lordsilver14]

A dissapointment? Pixel 2? Why? Besides that antenna placement that wouldn't affect you anyhow because you'll not try to rip off your phone in 2 like Jerry did (and you'll not have any problem), the smaller Pixel 2 is great, really.

[@jeffreymanier0]

Ehh the durability test proved it's pretty cheaply built for a premium phone

[@SpektrikMusic]

jeffrey manier bad designed not cheaply built. Using a plastic coating on a metal unibody isn't cheap. The bending is a design issue not a build quality issue.

[@bmedina000]
