  • There's tons of chips on the front of the board. Other chips of interest include:

  • Texas Instruments WL1271 chip that supports WiFi (802.11 b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.1, FM and GPS technologies (thanks Chipworks!)

  • Kionix KXTF9 accelerometer

  • ST Micro AGD8 2040 S6NBF gyroscope

  • Avago ACPM-7868 quad-band power amplifier

  • What's this? Did we use Content Aware to remove all of the chips from the back of the motherboard? The answer is no; there just isn't much going on with the backside of the board.

  • We find a microphone (red), proximity sensor (orange), ambient light sensor (yellow) on the back.

  • It is possible that Motorola placed all of the chips on one side of the board to keep the thickness of the device to a minimum.
