They also made sure ''nobody'' could take it from the Pixel without a struggle. |

In theory there is no reason to—only broken screens need be removed this way. Still, our engineers agree, it's probably more painful to peel this off vs. wax arm hairs. |
| - | [* black] Our pains are rewarded—Samsung display confirmed! Though, notably absent is [guide|113656|Samsung's S6SY761X touch controller|stepid=217262|new_window=true], which is odd. We can't remember the last time we saw a Samsung display without one of those little guys. |

| + | [* icon_note] At least in this case, the result is interesting: this display is manufactured by Samsung! This comes as something of a surprise, given that Samsung has not yet put a 90 Hz display ''[guide|125590|even in its own smartphones|stepid=242810].'' |
| + | [* black] On board, we also find a somewhat unexpected chip package from STMicro, likely a capacitive touchscreen controller. |
