On August 23, Meizu officially launched the M6 Note in Beijing, China. The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 mobile platform and comes with a 12MP and 5MP dual camera setup on the rear. It is available in three storage models: the 3GB+16GB variant is priced at CNY 1,099 (approximately $164), the 3GB+32GB variant is priced at CNY 1,299 (approximately $194), and the 4GB+64GB variant is priced at CNY 1,699 (approximately $254). The phone does bring its fans much surprise. Let’s disassemble the Meizu M6 Note, which is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor.
First of all, we need to switch off the phone. Then, take out the card slot and screws at the bottom for further teardown later.
Turn off the power.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor has been integrated into the X9 LTE modem, which enables the M6 Note to support Cat.7.
After removing the screws at the bottom, we can open the smartphone’s back cover to see its internal structure.
The phone adopts a three-stage design inside. We will disassemble it from the top to the bottom.
To begin with, we need to power off the device. Fasten the metal plate over the battery BTB and remove two fixed screws, and then we can start the teardown.
After removing all the BTB and RF plugs, we can take out the screws used to fasten the motherboard. Then, the motherboard can be removed.
After removing the motherboard, we found an earphone unit on the screen holder. Since the earphone unit is fixed by foam, we had to force it out.
