The teardown video dives deep into the phone’s internals, showcasing the 50MP Sony dual-layer stacked Lytia 808 sensor, the 64MP periscope camera, and the 48MP ultrawide camera. Additionally, we see the motherboard, wireless charging pad, NFC antenna, and other key components.
But the real highlight comes when the team reaches the deeper layers. The video reveals a massive vapor cooling chamber sitting right below the phone’s screen. This behemoth dwarfs the cooling systems found in most smartphones.
Taking Aim at Apple
This impressive cooling system appears to be a direct response to Apple’s controversial design choices in the iPhone 15. In an attempt to achieve a lighter weight, Apple reportedly compromised the iPhone 15‘s thermal system, leading to concerns about heat management. OnePlus, it seems, has taken the opposite approach, prioritizing performance and sustained power with its massive cooling solution.
