Google Pixel 9 disassembled on video

Ivan, 30 August 2024

The latest disassembly video gives us a look inside the inner workings of the Google Pixel 9. It starts as usual - remove the SIM tray, heat up the rear glass panel to loosen the adhesive underneath, insert a pick and work your way around the device.

Inside is the usual array of connectors, screws, and components. The 4,700mAh battery is removed via pull tabs but a sprinkle of isopropyl alcohol helps things move smoother.

The big story with this year's Pixel 9 is that its USB-C port is a replaceable item and not soldered to the main bord as it was with the Pixel 8.

Here's the full video!

It's fantastic that Google has finally gotten with the times and put the USB port of a separate daughterboard. It's the third most common smartphone repair, and Google's solution was to essentially mandate a whole device replacement.
