IFixit has gotten to the Pixel 4a, which is in high demand in the US. As it turned out, the model is assembled according to the templates of its predecessor – Pixel 3a. And although a full disassembly listing all the features of the model will appear only next week, according to the video available on the Web, we can already say that the Pixel 4a will repeat the maintainability rating of the Pixel 3a. This means that the new product is getting quite good 6 points out of 10 for the disassembly.
What’s inside? Google Pixel 4a disassembly video is here
As the experts noted, it is not very difficult to disassemble the Pixel 4a, for this it is not even necessary to heat up the screen very much – this is where the “opening” begins. Inside, the display flex cable is additionally fixed with two screws, under them, there is a case frame, very similar to the Pixel 3a frame. At this stage, the main difference between the Pixel 4a and its predecessor arises. In the new product, all internal components, including the motherboard, attaches to this frame. By the way, all the chips on the motherboard are shielded.
