Meizu MX6 Teardown Review! By iFixit

We've been seeing more and more Chinese made smartphones showing up on our teardown table. Lately back in May, we saw the Huawei p9, which squared a respectable 7 out of 10 on our repairability scale, and now we have the latest entry from Mizzou the MX 6, with its all metal unibody. The outsides of the MX 6 might remind you of another popular smartphone, but how will it compare on the inside there's only one way to find out and that's to tear it down. Just like the Huawei p9, the MX 6 uses pantalone screws to secure the display to the chassis. Why they chose these screws instead of regular, Phillips or torques, is totally beyond us outcomes. Our ice clock to pop open the MX 6 and reveal an attached fingerprint sensor, cable, just like in the iPhone 5s and SE.

The only difference maze gave us some extra slack on the cable and held it in place with a screw down tamper-evident bracket. Next out is the battery which disconnects with just the flick of our spider. While the MX 6 S battery is adhered to the rear case, it does feature an iPhone 4s battery pull tab that makes the job a little easier. This is a three point: eight volt 11 point 6 3 watt hour battery that has a capacity of 3060 mill amp hours, putting it ahead of the iPhone 6s plus is 10.45 watt hour battery. The speaker assembly was next on our removals.

Unfortunately, it was held in place. Finally, a few screws, while part of the assembly lines up with the microphone hole. There was no mic to be found here. We did find a tiny acoustic tube channel with a 90 degree bend intended to pass audio from the outside world to a mic located somewhere else directly, underneath where the speaker used to be been the USB headphone, jack and microphone assembly. Although the cable was glued to the chassis, getting it up and off proved to be no challenge at all excited to take a look at the motherboard.

It's the next thing we removed, but before we take a look at the chips, there are a couple of cameras that need to be dealt with. First up was the rear-facing camera that is the first to feature Sony's 12 megapixel, Error, RS, IMF, 386 CMOS sensor, along with an F 2.0 lens. Shortly thereafter, the five megapixel front-facing camera was extracted and back to the motherboard on board. You'll find four gigabytes of micron made lpddr3 SDRAM and layered below you'll find the MediaTek hello X 20 system on tip. If you feel like browsing the entire list of chips we head on over to the teardown on ifixit.

com, we've come to the end of our teardown, which means it's time to talk repairability that I fix it. Our mission is to teach people how to fix everything, so we give every gadget. We tear down a repair ability score between 1 and 10, 10, being the easiest to repair and one being the most difficult, the maze mx4 de 7 out of 10 and here's. Why? On the upside, the display assembly is the first component out which simplifies screen repairs. The phone also features modular components with spring contacts, large screws and thoughtful cabling, making repair cheaper and easier.

The battery is equipped with a pull tab for extraction, but the tough adhesive binding it to the chassis means force is still needed to remove it. On the downside, the mx6 uses pantalone security screws on the exterior, requiring a specialty screwdriver to open the phone for any repair, and that's our teardown for the complete teardown, including tons of beautiful, high-quality images head on over to ifixit. com, don't forget to subscribe to our channel to stay up to date on our latest tear downs and repair videos.
