Today, let’s start tearing down the Huawei Nova 2s, which was launched last week. The phone has an exquisite appearance and is designed to appeal to young people.
First, remove the SIM card tray. It is made of plastic and is of good quality.
Then, remove the glass cover on the back. The phone consists of three layers of materials, including a metal middle frame, a plastic cushion layer, and a glass cover on the back. The cushion layer in the middle aims to prevent the metal middle frame from directly squeezing the glass when the phone is dropped. The cushion layer is secured with screws and can’t be directly removed.
After taking out the glass cover on the back, we can see many screws. The motherboard is connected to the sub-board via FPC. It is easier to remove the back cover since the fingerprint reader module is placed on the front.
Remove all BTBs and FPCs. Be careful when removing the mainboard and sub-board, as they are held in place with glue.
The internal structure of the mobile phone is relatively simple. Most of the components on the motherboard are covered by shields and heat sinks. The two flexible circuit cables are of different colors. There is also a color difference between the main board and the sub-board.
After taking apart the Nova 2s, we have to admit that most Chinese smartphones aimed at young people now have internal designs that are superior to previous models.
