Pixel 4a construction reveals similarities to Pixel 3a in teardown [Video] - 9to5Google

Google’s latest mid-range phone is officially just over a week old, and by all accounts it’s shaping up to be another Pixel 3a-level success. A Pixel 4a teardown today reveals that another shared similarity is the construction.

The fully iFixit teardown isn’t available yet, but a video disassembly is live. Right off the bat, they note how the “opening procedure for the Pixel 4a hasn’t changed much since the Pixel 3a.” By that, not too much heat was required to loosen the display adhesive.

Once the screen is removed, iFixit notes the “same type of midframe” as on the 3a. However, the motherboard and other components are attached to the underside and lift up together instead of being attached to the back. “Tricky cables” connect it to the rear case.

Other components, including the hole-punch camera, pop out, while the motherboard is clipped into the midframe. 

As this is just a video and not the full Pixel 4a teardown, which is coming soon, there is no repairability score yet. For reference, the Pixel 3a got 6 out of 10. Last year’s complaint seems to still be present today in how the “myriad long, thin ribbon cables connecting the internal component can be obnoxious to work around, and are easy to accidentally tear.”

Given the leaks and familial resemblance compared to previous generations, it’s likely that the Pixel 4a (5G) will have similar construction but with affordances for the 5G radio. It will also be interesting to see whether the Pixel 5 has a similar layout.
