A smartphone with moving parts, like this Oppo Reno, can be slightly more intimidating

to take apart, but we're going to dive in anyway.

There is no water resistance rating so the back panel just needs to be warmed up until

Then I can lift the glass sheet off with my suction cup while slicing through the thin

strip of adhesive surrounding the outside.

The green colored back panel can lift off...

[Zack]...with no ribbons holding it to the body.

Remember that little ceramic O-Dot that Oppo added to keep the camera lenses from rubbing

Well it's actually just a super tiny little guy, recessed with a bit of adhesive into

Taking a look inside the phone, we have eleven normal Phillips head screws holding down the

Once those are out I can lift up the random black battery flap and remove the top plastics

As far as a clear phone goes, this Oppo Reno might actually be super cool.

We can already see the motor contraption over here on the left and the gold ribbon extensions

I'll unplug the battery like a little Lego, and then unsnap each of the three gold extension

ribbons from the bottom of the motherboard.

The long ribbons are still in the way of the battery, so I'll remove the 11 Phillips head

screws holding down the bottom loudspeaker plastics.

It has the normal two rectangular gold contact pads that allow it to communicate with the

I'll unplug the under screen fingerprint scanner, and the charging port ribbon basically falls

The USB-C port is attached to the end of the long gold ribbon and it's probably the easiest

It does have a red rubber ring around the tip to help cushion the constant unplugging

But keep in mind this phone is not water resistant.

The other two extension ribbons unclip easy enough, then the bottom circuit board can

come out of the phone with our little buddy, the headphone jack.

Remember, only the less expensive of the two Reno phones comes with a headphone jack.

The more expensive 10x optical zoom Reno does not have a headphone jack, so you got to pick

and choose which features you want these days.

Luckily, there are plenty of phones out there to choose from.

I'll pop the optical fingerprint scanner out from under the screen.

You can see the light shining through the screen from the flash on my Galaxy S8.

Optical fingerprint scanners are pretty cool.

The Oppo Reno is using a 3765 milliamp hour battery.

Let's get a closer look at the mechanical pop up camera operation up here.

We've run into all kinds of pop up cameras this year.

The standard little rectangle that pops up, then there's the flip up camera, and we've

Now we have this weird triangular version.

I'll have to remove the regular rear cameras first.

It's a 48 megapixel standard camera with a 5 megapixel depth sensing companion...neither

of which have optical image stabilization.

I'll remove the two long wire cables from the right side of the board, and then unplug

the triangular pizza looking front camera.

Then I can remove the dual SIM card tray.

The motherboard can lift out of the frame.

It has some normal thermal paste on the back which helps transfer heat to the metal frame

The small internal motor of the Oppo Reno has 3 tiny black Phillips head screws holding

I'll gently lift off the 4 square contact pads that power the motor, then check this

The way this whole thing works is pretty similar to all the other motorized smartphone cameras

The miniature stepper motor business is booming right now.

The motor on the left turns this threaded shaft, and as the threaded shaft spins, the

stationary metal chunk gets screwed up and down the shaft, raising and lowering this

piston looking rod, which is attached to the base of the triangular pizza camera, with

Each time the front camera or rear flash is engaged, the whole contraption motors on up

to do it's job, then motors itself back down again.

It can also sense pressure applied to the top of the pizza.
