frame is metal. no bending issues. front and rear protected by gorilla glass 5. overall, its the best phone in this segment. using it for about a month, no single issue. i have no complain, its a flagship premium look and feel with a midrange price. gaming performance is average. daily app usage performance, great. screen quality, battery life, speakers, connectivity, great.

[@hustlekid6517]

Hi @PBKreviews thank you for a very informative video. Some uv glue slid thru the earpiece while im putting a screen protector, and the glue went to my front facing camera. will it be a lot of work for them if go to a service center and have the glue removed inside? Thanks! (But by just watching this video, i wanna do it myself on my mi note 10 lite, but i dont have the tools. It looks easy tho. You make it look easy you know.)

[@PBKreviews]

Hi, thank you :) . It shouldn't be hard. The back would need to be removed, then the 3 screws on top portion of the phone holding the top plastic cover would need to be removed and then the top plastic cover comes off giving you access to the front facing camera and cable. The copper tape would need to be peeled back to be able to disconnect and remove the front facing camera then you would have access to cleaning out that area if the glue has not hardened to a point that is not coming off. Service center should be able to do it.

Hello I need your guidance! I want to replace the screen, but online it shows 2 options - With frame or no frame. Which one is easier?

[@PBKreviews]

with frame is definitely easier. because all you would be doing is moving all the parts from your old frame like the battery, motherboard, cameras etc all over to the new frame and reassembling it compared to having to pry the screen off from the frame as well and applying new adhesive and re applying the screen to the frame etc.

[@liron8163]

@@PBKreviews omg i did it with the help of my dad. It was not easy! but your video helped a lot! very good camera angle. i also used a video of someone changing screen of a mi note 10 since it was the most normal phone repair video for an almost similar device. thanks for the help!

[@shoaibsiddiqui9188]

what should be the temperature to loosen the battery adhesive and which will not harm battery?

[@PBKreviews]

Since there are pull tabs, you don't need to heat it up. Only reason I did was I did not want to peel off the adhesive tabs permanently because I was just taking the battery off as a demonstration and want to leave the pull tabs for future use. However if you plan on doing it that way, its always safer to use a hair dryer instead of a heat gun since its not as hot and the heat is more spread compared to central area. All you need to do heat up from the screen side a bit to warm the adhesive underneath the battery and you can heat up the battery side gently as well. Doesn't need to get too hot, just warm it up to make it easier to pry off. Hope this info helps.

Hi, Have you checked to see if the phone is not frozen? (holding down the volume down key and power button for 30 seconds to see if it will reboot) If that doesn't work and considering the phone does power on and just has no display, its possible there is a hairline crack in your display somewhere that you can't see which may be preventing the screen from working if you have dropped it. Aside from that, the only other thing I can think of is liquid damage. If the phone wont power on at all then it might be a battery or charging issue.

You would need to make sure the plastic pieces covering the board and top/bottom of phone are screwed down properly and in place. Those have some antenna lines drawn through them. If still no luck, you would need to check and make sure the main board is seated properly and all cables are in place and have not come undone. The frame of the phone also has antenna lines and contacts which the board and other components touch to make contact. Also there is a small board on the top right of the phone which is an antenna assembly as well, make sure that is in place as well and cable has not been disconnected.

Hi, it might be possible that the charging IC chip on the main board went bad preventing fast charge from working or something related to the charger port itself.
