OnePlus just released the OnePlus 7 with some pretty impressive specs, but most importantly,

it has a hidden internal mechanical front facing camera.

Today we're going to delve deep inside the OnePlus 7, find that camera, and see how the

robotic contraption functions from the inside.

And we'll see what a totally transparent OnePlus 7 would look like.

Not gonna lie, I kind of like this Nebula Blue colored back glass.

It's got that frosty matte finish on top which will probably cloud the internal components

a bit when we remove the coloring from the glass, but we'll have to see.

The back glass comes off like most modern smartphones.

A lot of heat softens the adhesive, and then my thin pry tools can slip in and slice through

the black sticky stuff holding everything down.

OnePlus doesn't have a specific IP rating for the OnePlus 7.

We'll have to delve into that a bit more during the full tear down.

Right now I'm just being super gentle with the glass, because glass is glass, and glass

I'm also being super gentle with my fingers around that razor blade because fingers are

fingers, and fingers can take...take apart cellphones.

This is a bit harder than it looks, so I should probably definitely suggest not attempting

I'll slide off the back panel, the final top line of adhesive stretching loose, and we

It's, you know, still not red, but the pull tab is.

I've been asking OnePlus to bring back the epic red battery ever since the last one appeared

[Flashback 2015] “And this is the best looking phone I've ever been inside.”

[Flashback 2016] “The biggest disappointment of this phone is that the battery is not red.”

[Flashback 2017] “We get our first glimpse at the non-red battery.

I guess OnePlus didn't get the memo that internal beauty is just as important as external beauty.”

[Flashback 2017] “This also exposes the totally not red battery.

[Flashback 2018] “Finally lifting open the OnePlus 6T reveals no red battery.”

I've been doing this for a really long time, but I do believe that the squeaky wheel gets

the grease, and we'll have a red battery again soon.

This time around the battery is black, and with the red pull tab, I still think it looks

pretty aesthetic, so I think I'll leave it alone for this OnePlus 7 clear edition.

The motorized camera is up here at the top, hidden underneath the black plastics, so we'll

Unfortunately it looks like in my excitement to take apart the 7, I forgot about the wire

cable attached to the rear sensors and LED flash, and I kind of decapitated the Lego-style

I'll use a bit of heat and my razor to pop off the camera lens housing.

This is it's own separate unit which I think is a bit better design than LG's idea of using

the entire back panel as a camera lens on the G8.

Big pieces of glass have more of a chance of breaking than smaller pieces of glass.

The OnePlus 7 Pro has 10 Philips head screws holding down the top plastics.

Then the black plastic panel can come off.

It looks like the NCF coil's positioned right above the motorized front camera.

This camera looks very similar to the one we saw inside the Vevo Nex S. It also had

Even in it's undressed state, it will still function.

I'll make sure not to touch the exposed circuits.

The camera looks like it's operating on a stepper motor system, spinning it's threaded

shaft to raise and lower the camera in and out of the phone.

The camera itself has a flexible ribbon that moves up and down alongside the camera when

Eventually, if the OnePlus 7 Pro camera is constantly moving, a warning will pop up saying

to protect the front camera, we need to not activate it so frequently.

Probably because the electric motors generate heat, and if the constant raising and lowering

loads heat the motor up too much, it will burn itself out sooner.

Raising and lowering the camera too much.

OnePlus said that in their own testing, this camera is capable of raising and lowering

Manually pressing down on top of the camera when it's in the open position does engage

a safety mechanism that pulls the camera in automatically.

Mechanical moving parts inside of a cellphone are pretty much my favorite hardware feature

One of my favorite software features though, that OnePlus has added to the top pull down

menu, is Zen Mode, which allows you to put your phone in a notification free totally

Disconnected from social media notifications and the Internet, and you can't access anything

Only phone calls and the camera app will work when Zen Mode is enabled.

It physically restricts yourself from accessing the distractions on your smartphone.

This goes hand in hand with a recent audio book I've been listening to on Audible.

And thanks to Audible for sponsoring this video.

It's called The Shallows – What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains by Nicholas Carr.

He talks about neuroscience and the plasticity of our brain, and the way our brains are adapting

He says that the little “hits” that social media and news headlines blips give us are

actually changing our ability to concentrate on larger projects, and inhibit our ability

to develop those longer term connections in our brain.

You can get this or any other audio book for free, plus two Audible Originals when you

Visit audible.com/jerryrig or text the word “jerryrig” to 500-500.

Normally I like to bump up the speaking speed a bit when I'm listening.

The Audible Originals are exclusive audio titles created by story tellers that sound

way more like an immersive production instead of just a narration.

Audible is one of the many ways to develop those longer term brain connections, and enable

better concentration abilities...you know...the important stuff.
