  • The Nex S Dual Screen smartphone, with massive screens on both the front and back of the

  • phone.

  • It's time to take this unique looking contraption apart and see how it's put together.

  • Next thing you know, they'll be taking things a step farther and trying to go bezel-less

  • on both sides instead of just the front.

  • Totally fine with me.

  • This video is sponsored by Audible.

  • Let's get started.

  • [Intro]

  • When I open up a strange new phone for the first time, I'm usually going in blind.

  • It's not like Vivo includes a disassembly instruction booklet with the phone.

  • I am the instruction booklet.

  • There are two visible T2 screws down at the bottom that need to be removed.

  • But then I'm left deciding which side of the phone comes off first...the rear, like most

  • glass backed phones and the previous dual screen Nubia X.

  • Or is it the front that comes off?

  • I decided to heat things up and start with the rear...

  • ....and I chose wrongly.

  • The goal of these tear downs is to reassemble the phone and get it back together in one

  • piece after I take it apart.

  • So obviously, we aren't off to a very good start.

  • The phone still works thoughjust a cosmetic crack.

  • So I'll turn the whole thing back off again and we'll try to enter the forbidden internals

  • through the front route.

  • We don't know the adhesive level of the phone since there's no IP rating, but I'm going

  • to warm it up anyway, because that's just what needs to happen with modern cell phones.

  • Now sliding my tools between the plastic edge of the big screen and the metal frame of the

  • phone, we can start to see a gap forming, meaning this time, we're going in the right

  • direction.

  • From a build perspective, having screens on both sides of the device makes it hard to

  • tell which side needs to open first.

  • And this phone is even weirder than I anticipated.

  • When lifting off the screen, the entire phone body comes with it.

  • Battery, motherboards and everything is attached directly to the screen.

  • I did not see that coming.

  • Removing the screen leaves only the metal frame and secondary rear screen behind.

  • The back panel does have two ribbons sneaking up towards the motherboard.

  • I'll unscrew the 5 silver Phillips head screws holding down the long metal ribbon cable bracket.

  • And I'll unclip the sensor ribbon, but I'll leave the screen ribbon intact for now.

  • I kind of want to see if we can get both screens working side by side instead of front and

  • back.

  • This might not be the smartest thing to do, but I've already done dumber things today,

  • so what can it hurt?

  • Might as well see if it's possible while I'm in here.

  • I got both screens situated side by side and I can press the power button with my finger.

  • And it looks like we are successful so far.

  • I can use the 3 finger slide trick to transfer one side of the screen to the other.

  • And since the phone still thinks it's in one pieceit works.

  • We should totally try out one of these apps to see if that works too.

  • Hm.

  • Huge thanks to Audible for sponsoring this teardown and supporting my channel.

  • The latest book I've been listening to is called Artemis by the same author that wrote

  • The Martian.

  • Except this time around, instead of being on Mars, it's a new story about a mining colony

  • on the moon, you know, with smuggling explosions and all kinds of science-y near death experiences

  • and stuff.

  • You can get a free audio book when you try Audible for 30 days.

  • Just click the link in the description.

  • Audible.com/jerryrig or text the wordjerryrigto 500-500.

  • J-E-R-R-Y-R-I-G.

  • You get to keep the book even if you cancel the service.

  • Audible also has something called Audible Originals – a full range of exclusive titles

  • only found on Audible.

  • Whether you're in it for the entertainment or keeping your mind active while learning

  • new things, Audible is worth a shot.

  • I use it regularly while at the gym or driving.

  • Audible.com/jerryrig.

  • I'm really glad that worked, and the phone is still alive.

  • I'll put it gently back to sleep so we can continue deeper inside.

  • Unplugging the battery like a little Lego, and then I'll move over to the AMOLED screen

  • connector ribbon and pop that off, releasing the back panel of the rear screen.

  • I guess technically the rear screen can be replaced without replacing the whole housing.

  • But with the weird circular camera lens thing, it's hard to say for sure exactly how that

  • might happen.

  • Weird phones makes for some weird repairs.

  • We'll know more when replacement parts hit the market.

  • I'll unplug the side button ribbon to make space for the battery removal.

  • It's super nice of Vivo to make removing the battery easy.

  • No broken pull tabs and no damage done to the 3500 milliamp hours during removal.

  • There are 2 Phillips head screws holding down the long silver plate over top of all the

  • 3 rear camera connectors.

  • Then I'll find the 2 more screws over top of our little friend, the headphone jack up

  • here at the top corner.

  • It's got it's own little metal plate, but when that comes out, look how small this guy

  • is.

  • It's super impressive that Vivo can have two massive screens, a big battery, and still

  • have room left over for the headphone jack.

  • I'll remove the 4 screws holding down the motherboard, keeping the screws organized

  • of course.

  • And then I'll unclip the two bottom remaining extension ribbons and the two wire cables.

  • Then the motherboard is free for us to take a look at.

  • Surprisingly there is no thermal paste on this board like there is on most other flagships

  • these days.

  • And even though this phone has only been alive for a few hours, the metal above the processor

  • does appear to be discolored by heat.

  • I'm no expert, but I would like to see this phone bench marked next to a similarly spec'd

  • flagship and see which one thermally throttles first.

  • No thermal paste might be an issue down the road.

  • Up here we have something called a TOF camera, or Time Of Flight.

  • It's a self contained 3D system that measures distance and can produce some pretty cool

  • 3D rendering of objects.

  • I think Vivo is mostly just using this for fancy beauty modes in the camera settings

  • for right now.

  • But the future applications might be pretty fun.

  • There are 2 regular cameras in here as well: a 12 megapixel main camera with it's 2 megapixel

  • depth sensor side kick.

  • The main camera does have optical image stabilization.

  • And both cameras are housed in separate units.

  • If you remember from the durability test, this phone has a speaker grille on both the

  • front side and the back side.

  • The ambidextrous smartphone can make calls from either screen.

  • And the earpiece inside is what makes this all possible, allowing sound to escape from

  • both the front and back of the speaker.

  • Pretty cool.

  • The vibrator motor is this cute little guy over here on the left.

  • It's an eccentric rotating mass motor.

  • A bit different than the coin style or taptic vibrators we are used to seeing these days.

  • But even though it's an older style of vibrator, it still gets the job done.

  • Remember, this phone does have an in-screen fingerprint scanner which is hidden down here

  • at the bottom, under the 8 screws.

  • One of which has a warrantee void sticker on it, which means we should probably stop

  • the teardown.

  • Just kidding.

  • And that joke never does get old.

  • I'll pop off the protective metal plate over the extension ribbon and under screen fingerprint

  • scanner connector.

  • Then I can remove the loud speaker.

  • This thing does have a bit of the water resistant mesh covering the speaker hole, which is good.

  • For the charging port board, I'll unplug the extension ribbon and white wire cable.

  • And then the board itself can just shimmy out of the frame.

  • We see a bit more of the water resistance here around the USB-C opening with this black

  • rubber ring.

  • We also have a square white water damage indicator residing next to the SIM card tray.

  • If you remember, Vivo was the first smartphone manufacturer to introduce an in-screen fingerprint

  • scanner back in 2017.

  • Back then it was a literal square chunk of the screen that made repair pretty impossible.

  • But this time around, Vivo is using the same style of sensor that we saw in the OnePlus

  • 6T – a simpler version.

  • Quite literally just a camera that shines up through the display to take a picture of

  • your fingerprint.

  • You can see the hole in the middle of the frame that let's us view the underside of

  • the AMOLED screen.

  • And the light from my personal phone can shine up through the screen into the hole.

  • It works the other way around as well.

  • When the screen is turned on, it lights up your finger with animation so the camera underneath

  • can take a good picture.

  • Thumbs up for that.

  • Vivo is definitely one of the leaders in innovation right now.

  • They are making some pretty phenomenal and unique phones.

  • I'll put the charging port back into place, along with the loud speaker and the 8 screws

  • holding everything down.

  • Then I'll get the 2 rear cameras back in place and scootch the motherboard down over the

  • top, making sure that no ribbons get pinched underneath.

  • The itty bitty but always useful headphone jack snuggles down into it's slot in the frame,

  • and then I can screw in the motherboard, slide the battery back into place, and make sure

  • all the ribbon cables are plugged in with the metal brackets holding everything tight.

  • Since both front and rear screens are pretty difficult to replace, this phones not going

  • to be winning any repairability awards, but at least the battery can be swapped out pretty

  • easily.

  • And now that we know how the phone opens, that particular step will be easier in the

  • future as well.

  • I'll take both of the rear panel ribbons and clip them onto the motherboard, along with

  • plugging in the battery.

  • Then I can screw down the large metal plate that keeps the connection secure.

  • I'll turn the phone on before sandwiching it back together, just to make sure everything

  • is working.

  • And lucky for us, everything still functions.

  • The triple finger swipe still swaps screens, and let's just pretend I opened up the phone

  • right the first time around and I didn't damage anything.

  • Alright.

  • I don't see any cracks, do you?

  • Congrats to Vivo for keeping the smartphone world interesting.

  • I'll be looking forward to seeing what they have in store for us this year.

  • Don't forget to grab your free audio book from Audible with a 30 day trial.

  • Link in the description.

  • And let me know what your favorite book is down in the comments so I can go check it

  • out.

  • Come hang out with me on Instagram and Twitter, and thanks a ton for watching.

  • I'll see you around.
