LG G8 Teardown - Dont Remove The Battery?!

The LG G8 is a flagship smartphone with modern features, and from the outside it looks like a winner. But what does the LG G8 look like on the inside? This Teardown of the LGG8 reveals that the battery is permanently glued into the housing, and is not replaceable. I think this is unacceptable. If you are deciding between 2 phones to buy, You should NOT buy the LG G8 until they fix their battery adhesive, and add pull tabs under the battery. Batteries dont last forever. And eventually someone is going to either replace the battery, or recycle this phone. And when that day comes... the battery needs to come out easier than this.
I will update this description if LG Changes their manufacturing process to add pull tabs or different adhesive.

It's awful, because this phone truly has some great features, the dual screen modular addition, good battery life, great RAM and processing speed for the pricepoint. When I bought this phone, it truly stood out in price to performance ratio, nothing came close. I guess there's always a catch...

[@JRadian]

LG G8 also had audiophile Sabre DAC chips and actual physical headphone jack, which sounds great. It had removable SD card slot, and I also like their camera's color rendering and overall look of photos. I've used my G8 for 3 years, and now the battery's running down faster and likely dying. Seeing this vid about glued-in battery is discouraging, as there is no equivalent mobile phone available to purchase on the market today with all the features G8 had..

[@LarryLopez91]

Back in 2016, LG released the V20, which allowed you to pop the back cover off and *easily* replace the battery. Fast forward 3 years later: LG releases the G8 and makes it downright dangerous for the end user to replace the battery. What the fuck happened...

Thanks for posting and sharing.

The heatpipe internal 'dirt' is quite important. It is sintered material that acts as a wick allowing the heatpipe to work in any orientation. Without it, the liquid-gas phase change would only work if the heat source is always positioned downhill of the pipe. Search for how heatpipes work.

The 'dirt' in the heat pipes is most likely sintered copper powder, which is done to increase surface area, thereby increasing heat transfer

[@remoremo-fh6nn]

brian mose you r correct man 👍👍

[@PotatoJunkee]

I believe the "dirt" in the heat pipe is meant to rough the surface, drastically increasing surface area for thermal transfer

[@98dizzard]

Was under the impression it helped the condensed liquid to wick back from the cold side to the hot side.

[@PotatoJunkee]

@@98dizzard if anything, wouldn't a rough texture make it harder for a liquid to move through it? Or would it work similar to how paper takes water up above where it's touching water

[@98dizzard]

@@PotatoJunkee the inside of heat pipes are rough for capillary action, exactly as you describe. Otherwise the pipe would be reliant on gravity and only work one way up.

[@PotatoJunkee]

@@98dizzard interesting, although when you hold your phone it's typically oriented so that the liquid would drip back down to the processor, although that wouldn't really do much lying down. So what you're saying makes sense to me

Here's a tip: If you need to remove a battery for replacement you can fully discharge first by attaching a resistor across it or even just leaving the phone turned on until it dies, a battery discharged to the protection chip threshold is very unlikely to catch fire even if crushed or punctured since the mechanism that starts the wild explosive fires we have seen needs electrical energy to heat up the internals of the battery. Still, disassembly should be done outside or at least near something fireproof like an oven pan to throw the burning phone into...

[@quewerty8401]

Thank you. I was seriously considering this phone, but if the battery is dangerous to remove , then its not worth it.

Forced obsolescence... they dont want people to extend the service of the device.

[@shanez1215]

Strain isn't good for the ribbon cable, and a small amount of space is given so the battery can naturally expand and contract due to temperature and wear changes. A loose battery could damage the ribbon cable and/or disconnect, rendering the phone useless. Plus, bouncing around could also bend the corner of the battery, which could cause it to blow up like the Nite 7 did.

[@forceablepizza764]

[@viktorkromm1608]

Thanks. thanks to you, I now know a little about IP 68 and MIL-STD-810. Today it is fashionable to have a quick battery charge, and as a result, access to a quick replacement. Probably with standard charging, the battery will last a long time. That's why they stuck it on. It should last two or three years. And there, 5G smartphones are getting cheaper. Persuaded IDA to buy G8s.

[@madhukeshnp]

The dirt inside the cooling pipe acts as cooling fins just like on our water cooled bikes and car's. But on a smaller scale. Its helps absorption of heat much effective and transfer it to the liquid.

Such a shame on the battery removal by LG as their phones have been really good since the G6. I've only been fixing phones since last September, but long enough to see all the newer phones are becoming more anti-repair.

[@ErikIrish-Erock]

Thanks to your video, I salvaged two of these today. I had two with broken screens, one with a swollen battery. I had two pristine demo units, available all over ebay for about $60. I simply popped the motherboard and mic board in the demo unit, and I had a brand new phone. :) Just a tip for anyone who really loves this device (as I do) and wants to keep using them. The screen and CPU screen outshines the V20, which I'd used and loved for years. Thanks for a cool video!

[@ronaldckrausejr7762]

If you happen to know a codes and/or assembles... Just a few voice samples can get you on your way. I've been adding all kinds of different voices to dedicated GPS devices ever since they were first made available to consumers. The same can be done with any device which has voice. Even works with W10 and Apple/Mac - although more difficult with Apple. The more voice samples one has the better. Can be made to work most of the time with just one hundred words. and then adapting it from there.

I’m not saying this is why there is dirt in the pipe, but I think that the dirt helps keep the heat in side the pipe. So it’s not just going strait into the phone and heating up the back of the phone (like my iPhone 5se does, but I use it everyday)

[@victorgeurts1745]

I think the ''Dirty Copper'' Is there to create more surface area
