(Electronic Sound Effects)
Today we're going to be taking apart the OnePlus Two, one of the newest phones from the company
OnePlus. The back is removable, easy enough. You can just pop that off with your hands.
Then there are six rubber caps on top of the screws. Remove those to remove the double
sim card tray and then take your screwdriver. I will link parts and tools down in the video
description, so take a look at those. There are 18 screws around the back of this phone.
Then you can just lift up the back plate, set it off to the side, and this is the best-looking
phone I have ever been inside. Hit that like button if you like the giant red battery.
There's a piece of tape over the battery connection and the charging port connection, so lift
that off and then pop up the two little ribbing cable connections. They're like little LEGOs.
You can just lift them up. And then you can lift the battery up and out of the phone.
Here is the battery. It is a 3300 milliamp but it also says on here that it's a minimum
of a 3200 milliamp so I guess they have some fluctuation in battery quality. Here is the
charging port ribbing cable, you can just lift that up out of the phone. That's one
of the best things about this phone is that the charging port is replaceable. That's usually
one of the first things to go out on a phone besides the battery. It is a type C charging
port, it's not the normal USB one, so it's very similar to the new Apple Lightning charger
where you can take the charging cable and plug it in either way whether it's upside
down or right side up. There are two little ribbing cables down here at the bottom, just
lift those off the board. And then there's a wire cable as well, lift that out. And then
the board itself should pop out from the phone. You have the vibrator motor right here, and
then contact points for the loudspeaker right here. The loudspeaker is just sitting on the
back plate. Here is the rear-facing camera, just unclip that from the board and pull it
up at an angle. This guy is a 13 megapixel camera capable of recording in 4k. Does have
video stabilization as well. Here's the front-facing camera. Lift that up and out of the phone.
Five megapixels, it's a cute little guy. There's another piece of tape holding down these two
ribbing cables, as well as a screw, on the right of the motherboard. So unconnect those
ribbing cables, as well as this little wire cable. Be gentle with them, you can pop that
connection off the board and break it. Here's some grounding tape on top of this ribbing
cable, I'm going to lift that up gently and then unsnap the ribbing cable from the board.
That releases the motherboard from the frame. I'm going to lift that out. Here you can see
the motherboard, it's got the dual LED flash on it as well as the headphone jack. The headphone
jack is not replaceable. It also has some thermal paste on the back. I'm assuming this
is for the processor or the memory to help keep it cool. And then here is the earpiece,
you can just pop that out from the mainframe as well. So here is the screen. It's got the
screen itself, the glass, the LCD, as well as the frame on the back that holds all the
components. In the past, OnePlus has sold these screens as a unit, fused together with
plastic frame and the glass. Hopefully they continue that in the future. Now, if they
don't you're going to have to heat up the front of the screen and separate the screen
from the frame and put the frame on your new screen later. You can watch my Note 5 screen
replacement video to see the same process done. But hopefully they sell the screens
as a unit because it's a much easier repair that way. Go ahead and reassemble the phone.
Hit that subscribe button if you like what you've seen so far. Go ahead and snap those
ribbing cables down into place. Be careful with this grounding sticker as well, don't
want to rip that. And then putting the tape back on the ribbing cables as well. Here's
the front-facing camera, going to snap that down into place and just line up the waffle
connection over the main board and press it down. You'll hear it click into place, you'll
know it's connected. Rear camera goes in. The bottom board snaps down into place. Be
careful with those wire cables, those are very easy to break. Snapping the two ribbing
cables down. And then the charging port goes back in. Just kind of scoot that type C charging
port down into the bottom of the frame, and the frame will hold it in place. Snap the
waffle connector in. And then just set the whole ribbing cable down into the phone so
the battery won't pinch it or tweak it anywhere when you put the battery into place. Once
you get the battery in there, snap it down as well and take that tape that you took off
earlier and set it down on top of the two ribbing cable connectors. And then the back
of the phone snaps in as well. And I'm going to turn on the phone really quick, just to
make sure everything's connected and everything's working, before I put those 18 screws back
into place. Everything's looking good, so put your dual sim card tray back into the
back, and get those little rubber circle pieces back on top of their screw holes. Back of
the phone gets put on, and you are good to go. I did do a durability test on this phone
where I took a razor blade and scratched the screen, and tried to bend the phone in half.
