Everything exciting on these dark boards is covered by heat dissipating copper or graphite foils.

We brute-force our way beyond those shields—accepting some minor damage along the way—and find these chips:

Qualcomm PM8350 PMIC, Qualcomm PM8350C PMIC, PM8350BH

Silicon Mitus-SM3010B-display power management chip

WCD9380 Qualcomm Aqstic audio codec

Lionsemi LN8282 Wireless Charging Management Chip

Qorvo QM77040 Front-End Module

At the bottom right are three coax connectors—each accompanied by a Chinese character for white, blue, or black, per the corresponding cable color. Same goes for the connectors at the opposite end of the cables. Nice little cues for error-free reassembly, if you can read them! (A more universal set of indicators would be ideal though.)
