-[* black] Midframe
+[* black] Before we get anywhere, we've got to disconnect the display. Its two cables are secured by plastic plugs in the midframe, that we need a hefty tool to pry out.
+[* black] Just like in the original Pixel XL, a [guide|71237|magnesium midframe|stepid=142650|new_window=true] separates the display from the innards, and provides a solid backing behind the display for when you're candy crushing it.
+[* black] Looks like this newest flagship runs a little hotter than its predecessor, as the midframe now incorporates a copper heat pipe.
