Google began accepting pre-orders for the Pixel 6a yesterday; the device will officially go on sale on July 28. Since the Pixel 6a uses the same Tensor SoC as the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro while still being less expensive than both of those devices, it marks an unusual departure for the "a" line.
Today is your lucky day if you've ever wanted to see inside a Pixel 6a since YouTube channel PBK Reviews has created a video showing you just how to do so. It is a thorough disassembly of the new phone that reveals every component inside.
The fact that the item in issue arrived scratched and dented on the rear plate and camera lens bezel was a very terrible surprise to begin with. Fortunately, the screen was undamaged because it was covered by a paper sheet, but there was definitely a serious problem with quality control at the manufacturing.
The fingerprint sensor is connected to the display panel, which is shown when the screen is removed as the first stage of disassembly. The Pixel 6a has a sizable amount of graphite inside for heat transfer, and removing the battery is simpler than with earlier Pixels. The main board must then be removed because the USB-C port is soldered to it, making repairs challenging.
The fact that this smartphone really features a proximity sensor is fantastic news for users of midrange smartphones. Watch the video up top to learn all the specifics and factors that contributed to the item obtaining a 7/10 repairability rating.
