Samsung Note 10+ Teardown - TWO Wireless Chargers?

The Galaxy Note 10 tends to be the Swiss army knife of all smartphones. It's the phone that has it all and can do it all or at least that's how it was before Samsung removed the headphone jack. Today we'll review the Galaxy Note 10 to see what it does. check and see if there was actually room for that Jack, let's get started, let's get started, you need to hold down the power button and the volume down button at the same time to turn off the phone because that makes a lot of sense, let's get started, this video is Actually, it's going to be super interesting.

The Note 10 Plus is arguably one of the most feature-packed smartphones on the market right now. To remove the vivid back panel, the heat gun will be broken. Glass and metal sandwiches tend to be constructed the same way. a glass panel I have to be especially careful not to bend the glass too much or the whole thing could break once the adhesive heats up and softens under the glass my suction cup can lift up and my razor blade and pry tools can cut it through the adhesive Fastening the panel to the frame is a very tedious process.

The cheap plastic Galaxy 50 was just as colorful as this Note 10 and used a plastic panel that is much more durable than glass, something that makes this Note 10 even tougher. than usual to open, since the curve of the glass that wraps around the side parts of the phone, any pressure in the wrong place along that curve could break the entire panel with enough time, patience, and a slight headache when looking this eye-catching tie dye. tech, we finally got the back panel to separate from the phone, the back glass doesn't have any electronics attached, all the

charging is built into the body of the phone to dig deeper, we'll have to remove 14 regular Phillips head screws, thumbs up . to Samsung for not using proprietary screws once they are available, I can bend the metal plate and disconnect the gold battery connector, the

charging coils connected right next to it, unplug it and release the wireless coil from the phone, maybe you're thinking, hey.

Jerry, why do you keep calling this black sheet a coil? It is because you can see the circular shape of the copper windings under the black cover. These internal copper windings inside the Note 10 plus will rest on top of the copper winding found inside a wireless charging pad, the pair of coils create an electromagnetic field through which power can be transferred to the phone. This may come as a surprise, but this large wireless charging coil is not the only wireless coil found inside the Note 10 on the left side of the phone we see a large rectangular casing that is used to store the s-pen and on the back At the top of that case, where the tip of the pen is when it's parked inside the phone, there's a little wireless baby charger that I can remove from the black one. tape to reveal the miniature copper that is just above the coils wrapped around the tip of the pencil once again creating two sets of coils that form another smaller electromagnetic field.

Power flows from the foam battery through the two coils and into the s-pen. capacitor which we discovered when we carefully disassembled the s-pen in the durability test video and this wireless transfer is also the reason why the S Pen cannot be made of metal, as metal obstructs wireless charging. It's pretty mind-blowing technology and we've barely even started this

. Let's remove the top black plastics. This reveals a two-color motherboard, blue and green. A clear one without a can would look pretty impressive. I will unplug the power and volume buttons. The connectors simply disconnect like a small Lego.

I can remove the front. - in front of the camera it's a small 10 megapixel with no optical image stabilization the black square here in the center of the motherboard is the earpiece, interestingly it's in a strange location, we'll go more into that in just a second I'll take out the three cables of tape here along the bottom of the motherboard along with another tape on the right side, each end breaks off like a little Lego, then I can remove the SIM and SD card tray. Remember that Samsung made three versions of this phone, the normal Note 10 size.

It does not have an SD card slot, the two-color motherboard can be separated from the phone case at this point. The reason this motherboard has two colors is that it is actually two motherboards stacked on top of each other, as we saw inside the newer iPhones. Surprisingly it's a thick sandwich of really expensive technology, although even with the extra thick motherboard there is no thermal paste on the back, just a gray foam pad, let's take a look at the cameras, this camera block is another piece of amazing technology. The

10 plus wide angle camera is on top without optical image stabilization, then there is a regular 12 megapixel camera which has OIS and then a 12 megapixel two times optical zoom camera on the bottom, this also has Oh, Samsung is the only manufacturer. to release a variable aperture camera unit just as you know your pupils are just inside your eyeball to get the optimal light for your eye, this little circle opens and closes to get the optimal amount of light for the sensor the Samsung camera depending on the situation, is nice Cool the lens on the right side is a depth sensor.

We've seen this appear on a lot of phones lately and it's only available on the

and plus we're going to review the copper cooling pad here in a second but first. We have to discover in the charging port the black plastics come off quite easily since we already removed the screws, the plastics contain the lower speaker, it has the same deflector balls hidden inside the speaker as we saw in the Oneplus phones, it is a hole ball for ants I will remove the two extension tapes and three extra screws, then the whole little charging port will be able to detach from the frame of the phone with the galaxy s 10, this port was not replaceable so I'm glad Samsung changed their mind. and did not permanently reconnect the charging port to the motherboard.

Another change is that we now have a square vibration motor that probably contains a similar tactile sensation as iPhones have and we also have the same waterproof mesh over the speaker and microphone. The openings we've seen inside phones for a couple of years helped the Note keep water out for its IP68 rating. What about the question? Is there really room here for the headphone jack? The answer is yes, there is always room for the circuit. The boards can be styled and rearranged, however, Samsung wants proof of that here with the dual-stack motherboard. Motherboard stacking allows for more space.

They could have easily just stacked parts of the bottom charging port plate and added the headphone jack at the bottom or stacked more. of the top plate to each other to make room for the port on the top, easy, it's no coincidence that Apple removed the headphone jack at the same time they launched their wireless Air Pods or that Plus lost the headphone jack when they launched your bullet headphones. or even Pixel lost the headphone jack when they launched the Pixel Buds and now Samsung lost the jack when they pushed their Wireless Galaxy Buds. The coincidence of not removing the Jack forces customers to purchase additional technology from the same company that made their phone companies aware of this. and companies like this, another thing companies do is make your phone harder to repair so instead of fixing it you just buy a new one and Samsung is as guilty as the rest with this battery permanently stuck on every bend of this battery.

When I try to remove it, it's super dangerous, the inner layers could get pinched and short out at any time, causing a fire. You'd think Samsung would want to avoid exploding batteries and just add easy-remove tabs like Apple does, especially considering its history and as the world's largest smartphone maker, Samsung should lead the way with pull tabs. the battery or soft adhesive so that one doesn't blow off my fingers and two so that I can stop saying that Apple surpasses them in an area that is more painful than losing a finger, the Note 10 plus battery has a power of forty-300 milliamps the regular note 10 would be rated at 3500 milliamps another piece of mind-blowing technology inside this note 10 plus is the super slim under screen fingerprint scanner stuck directly under the screen during my galaxy s 10

video, I opened up the whole phone to show the size and talk more about how this works today, although I'm going to keep the Note 10 in one piece so I hope it still powers up. when I put everything back together, seeing the outline of the scanner with my LED light is great, although a few things remain before I put the phone back together, a water damage indicator label here next to the SIM card tray opening and then we have The earpiece, which is strangely quite far away from the actual location of the earpiece grill, coming out revealing that it is actually a speaker and not the under-screen vibration technology that we saw inside the LG G 8.

It seems that This speaker fires downward into a hollow channel. between the frame and the screen, then the sound is directed towards the top of the phone to eject the hole near the SIM card tray. There's also an incredibly thin opening between the front glass and the metal top of the phone, it's quite difficult to see. Since it's only five human hairs thick, I actually use human hair to measure everything, which explains a lot. Finally we come to the heat pipe or vapor chamber, as Samsung calls it. We typically only see this type of cooling on high-end gaming phones like the Razor. phone 2 or the black shark tooth, it's great to see the technology making its way into non-gaming phones as we know that solid copper is a great heat conductor, drawing heat away from hot objects like processors and it dissipates it elsewhere inside the phone.

Heat pipes are more efficient than a slab of copper because of the liquid inside the tube, vapor chambers like the one we see here take cooling to a whole new level beyond that, even if the heat pipes cut into the chamber of steam, we can see that it is a hole. bag with plenty of room inside for the liquid to move, the liquid will vaporize at one end where the processor is heated and then cooled to reach the other end of the chamber only to be transported back to the processor by the copper wires . and copper mesh capillary action so you can start the whole process again.

It's like a liquid cooling system built for PCs, but squeezed into a really small space. The liquid is still present here in the bag even after I opened it and made a mess. Inside, the moisture-wicking mix of wires is quite interesting, the copper vapor chamber does a good job of helping the phone work efficiently, but it's not mandatory for functionality, the phone should still work and turn on without this in place, we'll see if that's true in just a few seconds while I was putting the phone back together, the memo line used to be the absolute pinnacle of everything Android phones were capable of, so it makes me sad See now that Samsung ditched even a useful feature like the headphone jack, but even without that feature it's still one of the best-designed and most feature-rich mobile phones, if not the best, you can buy right now, so if you're looking for the best of the best and are willing to pay a premium for 100% of what smartphones are capable of.

Right now this is probably the phone you should get, just keep in mind that you can probably get a phone Perfectly decent that it does 90% of what the Note 10 does for about half the cost of someone else's. Smartphones lose value faster than a used phone. bubblegum, so unless you make money on your smartphone, you can always get last year's version for a fraction of the price. There are not many substantial improvements from one year to the next. Would you notice that everything is still working? I love that the Note 10 plus is a very tempting phone. I'll probably update it at some point in the future when the price drops or I can find a good deal, but for now I'll stick with my two and a half year old.
