On August 23, Meizu officially launched the M6 Note in Beijing, China. The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 SoC and features a dual-camera setup on the rear with a 12MP sensor and a 5MP sensor. 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 to explore its internal structure.
First, we need to turn off the phone. Then, we need to remove the card slot tray and screws at the bottom for further teardown later.
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 back cover of the smartphone and access its internal structure.
The phone adopts a three-stage design. We will disassemble it from top to bottom.
Before removing the internal components, disconnect the battery cable to prevent damage to the phone. Remove the two screws securing the metal plate, which are used to hold the battery cable in place, and then disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard.
After removing all the BTB and RF plugs, we can remove the screws securing the motherboard. Then, the motherboard can be removed.
After removing the motherboard, we found a headphone unit on the screen assembly. Since the headphone was secured with foam, we had to pry it out forcefully.
Since the M6 Note features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, the smartphone supports dual ISP and can capture up to 4K Ultra HD video at 30 FPS.
After removing the adhesive tape, you can remove the 4000mAh battery.
Remove the screws securing the speaker, then use tweezers to pry it up and remove it.
Remove all the BTB and RF plugs from the motherboard, then remove the sub-board.

Meizu M6 Note internal parts
This is a good article. Three months after I bought my M6 note, the touch screen stopped responding to touch. I sent for another entire screen. I have been able to take the phone apart. I connected the replacement screen, and the phone will boot up. But the second touchscreen doesn’t work either. Do you have any info on why this might be so?
Same here, but with Meizu M6T. Did you find your answer?
