Pixel 3 XL Teardown - Can the scratches be removed?

The Pixel 3 XL is ready to be torn down. Lets open up the Pixel 3 XL and review it from the inside. Fix your Pixel yourself with parts and a free guide from iFixit!: ifix.gd/2zN2JpI How to remove scratches on the Pixel 3 XL? We'll test out one method using a toothbrush and soap to see if the stainless steel 'dust' integrated into the rough cloudy glass portion of the Pixel 3 XL can come off. (hint: it cant) Softer metals, like copper and brass can wash off, but harder metals like steel, will not. So keep your Pixel 3 XL and keys in different pockets.

Random metal chunk. Doesn't have space for a headphone jack.

[@sinom]

Ruen well they never said they had no space. They just never gave a reason for removing it (which is really stupid)

[@AlphaDragonification]

Ruen no one really gives a shit about headphone jacks anymore they’re a thing of the past

[@ferni0]

Ruen a bad use of space

[@alienufoweird]

In my job i had a bad experience with my S8's headphone jack where not cleaning it enough and using it on a weekly basis made it so junk like oil and other substances from the air got in the phone's headphones jack resulting in it being dead after a couple of months of using it without cleaning it but how the hell you clean a headphone jack anyway ? Now i just don't need one as long as i have a way to use headphones that's why i bought the XZ2 premium instead of the S9

@@Sharky165 , ASMR is horrible

[@Sharky165]

@@__The_Real_V__ It's not everyone's cup of tea, no doubt, and some of it is def New Age gibberish/BS. But I sometimes have bad insomnia and ASMR can help me relax and fall asleep faster, so that's a positive pyschosomatic effect. And it's less harsh (not to mention cheaper) than Melatonin or Ambien !

[@kyriakos098]

That *random metal chunk* is to prevent the connectors from popping off. My sister once dropped her phone and came to me complaining that the volume rockers didn't work. I open it up and see that the ribbon had popped off from the drop.

[@Sarlasmancranmaji]

Interesting

[@DJBla2e01]

True. I ended up losing all the screws that holds the metal bracket for the screen connectors on my old iPhone 5 a few years back, so I just left it out. Then one day I dropped it and the touchscreen became completely unresponsive due to the connector coming loose. Even just having it sit there without any screws helped prevent this happening again. Still doesn't explain why the one in the Pixel 3 XL is that chunky 🤔
