  • It's time to open up the elegant LG G7 ThinQ.

  • It's told me not to remove the battery several times for my phone's own safety or something,

  • which means, it's time to remove the battery and review this LG G7 from the inside.

  • Let's get started.

  • [Intro]

  • The funny thing is that removing the battery of a sealed shut phone is near impossible,

  • as you'll see in a second.

  • I'll link all the tools and stuff I'm using in the video description, but the average

  • Joe won't ever just pop the battery out on a whim.

  • Once the adhesive is warmed up, I'll slip my metal pry tool between the edge of the

  • glass and the metal frame and cut through that adhesive all around the outside of the

  • phone.

  • I keep warming up the adhesive about every 30 seconds or so since it will harden up and

  • not move.

  • As it gets colder, metal can damage the underside coloring on the glass, but I imagine if you're

  • opening up your phone, there are bigger hardware problems to worry about than just the aesthetics.

  • Finally the back glass panel pulls away from the phone and there's a lot going on in here.

  • This is going to be a fun one.

  • There's a thin ribbon going along the bottom of the battery that we've never seen before.

  • Sticking my metal tool in too far would have damaged this or torn it, so we got lucky.

  • We have the large wireless charging coil here in the center of the phone.

  • And over off on the back panel we have the fingerprint scanner without any ribbon cables.

  • All of it's communication is going through these golden contact pads, which is super

  • smart.

  • One less ribbon cable to worry about when opening up the phone.

  • Speaking of which, it's time to get under the plastics.

  • Seven Phillips head screws along the top of the motherboard, and another 7 screws holding

  • down the bottom black plastic segment.

  • Then the plastics can start to come away.

  • The whole top including the wireless charging comes off as one piece.

  • It's got the same gold contact pads that rest against the motherboard, just like that fingerprint

  • scanner.

  • And now I'll unplug the battery that the phone was so adamant that I don't remove.

  • We'll mosey on down and pop off the bottom plastics to see what this extra ribbon cable

  • over the battery is all about.

  • The loudspeaker is built into the plastics.

  • LG is calling this a boombox speaker with extra bass.

  • And I'd have to agree on this one.

  • When this thing is pounding, it vibrates the entire frame of the phone with it's power.

  • It's still a cellphone speaker of course, but it is big and louder than normal.

  • Under that speaker we get our first look at the wired gold cables lying on top of the

  • battery.

  • They unsnap from the motherboard, but not with a Lego connector, these are the wire

  • cables we normally see converted into a ribbon cable instead.

  • I'll unclip the screen from the motherboard and the

  • 8 megapixel front camera up at the top.

  • These are the normal Lego style ribbon connectors.

  • And also the SIM card tray comes out.

  • Removing the motherboard is incredibly similar to the Galaxy S9 at this point, with the board

  • folding out and the charging port plugged into the underside of the board with a little

  • ribbon.

  • I'll unclip that plug, releasing the motherboard and exposing the dual dollops of thermal paste

  • on the back, along with the dual camera units.

  • I'll unplug the cameras.

  • One cool thing I want to point out with the SIM card tray housing is that the SIM card

  • tray can handle a SIM and SD card at the same time, which is pretty normal.

  • But if you leave out the SD card and orient a second SIM perpendicularly in its slot,

  • it becomes a dual SIM card tray.

  • Pretty smart.

  • Three different card orientations in 1 little slot.

  • Back to the camera lenses, LG has given us 2 lenses that accomplish different things.

  • The bottom camera is super side angle – 16 megapixels.

  • Kind of like a GoPro with no optical stabilization.

  • The top camera is the normal non-wide angle, 16 megapixel lens with optical image stabilization.

  • I'll plug those back into the motherboard.

  • And since the motherboard is out of the frame, we can finally get a look at the charging

  • port and get that, you know, battery out.

  • The headphone jack is it's own little unit with red rubber water proofing around the

  • tip.

  • I'll set that off to the side, and finally the charging port comes away from the phone

  • with its little plastic supports to keep it elevated from the middle.

  • This time we have blue rubber around the tip to help keep water out of this hole.

  • It's USB-C. And now we can get a closer look at what's normally those wire antennas that

  • are now turned into ribbon cables.

  • I'd be interested to know what sparked that decision and how different these perform over

  • the original wires.

  • The inside of this phone looks amazing.

  • The aluminum is all anodized at the same time so the inside of the phone is uniformly the

  • same color as the outside.

  • Thumbs up for that.

  • You can see the mill markings from the machine that carved this shape out of a solid metal

  • block.

  • The buttons are the normal clicky little guys, which are easily replaceable.

  • The volume button flex for last year's LG G6 currently costs only 6 dollars, which is

  • a refreshing change from HTC's non-replaceable buttons on the U12.

  • We have the front camera and the earpiece at the top.

  • And a few water resistant microphone holes.

  • And, of course, the circular coin style vibration motor.

  • And over here we have the copper heat pipe for thermal dissipation.

  • It's not quite as big as the Razer phone, but every little bit counts.

  • Now the batterythe thing our phone begged us not to remove from the moment we turned

  • it on - is the last thing to come out from inside this phone.

  • It was tucked up underneath those charging port signal ribbons, and it doesn't have any

  • magical pull tabs.

  • I did try warming it up since warm adhesive separates better than cold adhesive, but eventually

  • with a combination of metal and plastic pry tools, I was able to get it out of the phone.

  • The screen ribbon cable is tucked up under the bottom half of the battery, so avoid that

  • area if you need to reuse your screen.

  • One rip on that cable and your screen will stop functioning.

  • LG still says no dogs allowed, which is cool.

  • Everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

  • The screen is glued to the frame of the phone like we've seen on most other glass backed

  • phones these days.

  • Heat and prying is used to pull the display away from the metal frame.

  • The old screen won't survive the removal.

  • I'll link replacement parts in the description when they become available.

  • Let's get this think put back together and see if it still works.

  • It's nice that everything in here is pretty modular, but it's unfortunate that some of

  • the most common repairs, like a battery and screen replacement, require every component

  • to come out.

  • To get the motherboard back into place, I'll clip the charging port board into the bottom

  • first, and then gently lay it down into the frame making sure no wires like the battery

  • and front camera are caught underneath.

  • I do feel like as phones get harder to repair, less people attempt the project.

  • I think the moment a heat gun is required, a lot of people will give up.

  • What do you think?

  • At what point would you give up on a repair?

  • I got the bottom loudspeaker in place.

  • Then lastly I'll plug in the 3000 milliamp hour battery before putting on the top plastics

  • with that attached wireless charger.

  • I think the LG G7 is one of the most feature-rich phones of 2018, and is definitely a phone

  • worth taking a look at.

  • I'll get the 14 screws back into place to hold everything tight, and re-adhere the back

  • glass panel to the phone with double sided tape.

  • And check that out, everything still works.

  • I love that thedon't remove the batterywarning still pops up.

  • Sure ain't gonna fall out on it's own – I'll tell you that much.

  • Hit that subscribe button if you haven't already.

  • And come hang out with me on Twitter and Instagram.

  • Thanks a ton for watching, and I'll see you around.

It's time to open up the elegant LG G7 ThinQ.
