Remove two screws next to the Micro USB port.

Remove the SIM card tray.

Open up the display assembly a little with a sucker, insert a guitar pick, slide the pick, and releases all the snaps.

When you remove the back cover, you can see the all-metal design and the highly integrated back cover.

A special feature is that the back cover is pressed fingerprint identification directly connected by metal contacts, and no cable, so it is very convenient to remove the back cover (but the back cover’s snap is very tight, very difficult to disassembly),

For security purposes, before further disassembly, we should disconnect the battery connector. The X6 Plus battery connector is covered by a metal cover so that the cable is not easy to loosen. The reliability is indeed very good, but it also increases the phone’s weight.

Vivo X6 Plus comes with a 3.8v, 3000mah Li-polymer battery.

Now remove the metal cover and disconnect the yellow cable.

Disconnect button cable and antenna.

Remove the camera’s metal cover. It is fixed by a screw (the screw is covered by fragile stickers, if you damage it, you will avoid warranty.).

Remove the SIM card cover.

Remove all screws securing the motherboard. You can remove the motherboard.
We can see the motherboard was covered with graphite and a metal shield.

The back of the motherboard is also covered with a metal shield and a copper sheet.
Under the copper sheet are SoC and RAM.

Remove the graphite sticker. You can see almost frenzied metal shield, this approach is estimated to HiFi system service, it can be subject to as little interference.

Remove SoC’s copper sheet. You can see the pink grease on SoC.

Remove the speaker board module. The board integrated a speaker and a vibrator.

X6 Plus metal shield is welded on the motherboard. We need to use a heat gun to remove them.
