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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

The phone still works though – just a cosmetic crack.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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 piece – it works.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I use it regularly while at the gym or driving.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
