Meizu 15 Plus Teardown

As we all know, Meizu held an event to launch the Meizu 15 and the Meizu 15 Plus on April 22. Both phones feature a circular design with ultra-narrow bezels. The Meizu 15 Plus features a 5.95-inch Samsung OLED screen, and it is powered by an Exynos 8895 processor. Today, we will start the teardown of the Meizu 15 Plus to explore its internal structure and workmanship.

Remove the back cover

It is more difficult to tear down this phone than the Meizu Pro 7. I spent a long time separating the back cover from the phone body.
Remove the back cover

After removing the back cover from the phone body, we can access the motherboard, battery, and other components. The phone has a neat internal layout design, and its back cover is made of stainless steel and aluminum alloy.

The switch and volume keys are connected via the metal contacts on both sides. Removing the button can effectively save time for after-service maintenance. This design shows that the phone has adopted a reasonable layout design for its internal structure.
Meizu 15 Plus motherboard and battery

After removing the six screws, we found that the motherboard and the top of the battery were covered with black tape. This is to prevent the cables from loosening during phone use, as the display cable and battery cable are located under the tape.

Peeling off the black tape reveals certain areas of the motherboard. The chip area is covered by metal shields, and the dual vertical cameras in the center are clearly visible.
