Phone teardown · What sits under the glass

The display comes off first. Underneath, the logic board and battery share one level inside the housing, so they lift together.

The headline

The board is the phone

Cameras, radios and the system chip all live on one small board. Everything else holds it, powers it, or shows its output.

How it was drawn

  • Rounded corners project as quarter ellipses
  • The housing is a tray, so its front walls paint last
  • Parts on one level explode together
  • Gap widened so the display clears the board

Four parts

A real teardown has dozens of parts. The diagram keeps the four a reader needs and drops the screws.
