  • Google gifted this Pixel with a supersmooth (sometimes) 90 Hz screen—a rarity thus far, even amongst the flagship-iest of smartphones.

  • Google also made sure nobody could take it from the Pixel without a struggle. Strong perimeter adhesive + screen layers going literally to the edge + giant duct-tape-like adhesive pad = screen does not want to come out intact.

  • In theory there's no reason to do this—only broken screens need be removed this way. But this is not a fun process for replacing an (all too common) broken screen.

  • 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 even in its own smartphones.

  • On board, we also find a somewhat unexpected chip package from STMicroelectronics, likely a capacitive touchscreen controller.

Google hat diesem Pixel ein supergeschmeidiges (manchmal) 90 Hz Display verpasst - bisher wahrlich eine Rarität, selbst unter den premium-mäßigsten Smartphones.

Google hat auch dafür gesorgt, dass niemand dieses Display ohne Probleme ausbauen kann. Dämmstoffkleber + ein bis zum Rand reichender Bildschirm + eine riesige Gaffatapefläche = dieses Display kommt nicht unbeschadet raus.

Theoretisch gibts keinen Grund, das zu tun - man geht davon aus, dass man das Display nur dann ausbauen muss, wenn es sowieso schon kaputt ist - aber das kommt eben allzu häufig vor und in dem Fall macht das Ausbauen dann wirklich keinen Spaß.

Wenigstens kommt etwas ziemlich Interessantes dabei raus: das Display ist von Samsung! Das ist schon eine ziemliche Überraschung, weil Samsung noch nichtmal in seinen eigenen Smartphones 90 Hz Displays verbaut.

Dann finden wir unerwartet noch einen Chipsatz von STMicro, wahrscheinlich der Touchscreen-Controller.
