Nokia 6.1 Teardown

As we all know, the Nokia 6.1 was launched earlier this month. This phone offers excellent value for money. Now, let’s start disassembling the Nokia 6.1 to explore its craftsmanship and internal design.

First, remove the SIM card tray.

Then, separate the screen from the phone body. The screen is directly stuck to the metal plate.

Use a suction cup to separate the screen from the phone body, and then disconnect the screen flex cable from the motherboard. Although the screen has been removed, the internal structure of the phone still cannot be directly observed due to the presence of the metal plate.

This metal plate is used to enhance the overall rigidity of the device. At the same time, the metal plate may have an adverse effect on the heat dissipation inside the smartphone. The phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor, which generates relatively low heat.

Remove all the screws, and then we can remove the metal plate. The battery is directly secured to the back of the metal plate.

The motherboard is connected to the sub-board via an FPC. The RF cable has been well secured.

Disconnect all the connectors and radio frequency cables, and then we can take out the motherboard.

After the teardown, we found that the internal design of the Nokia 6.1 is very different from that of other phones. The phone has good workmanship. The metal plate enhances the device’s overall structural hardness. Overall, the phone has a unique internal design and excellent workmanship.
