  • While the display glass was held down with some easy-to-slice foam adhesive, the rear glass is a different story.

  • We're happy to see that Google still hasn't given in to the full glass back trend. This little bit of glass seems to bridge the gap between durability and antenna transmissivity.

  • We suspect this thick pad of sticky adhesive is here as a shock absorber to protect the glass from falls. Whatever the reason, we had to bring plenty of heat to extract it.

  • This little antenna-laced cover pops off to reveal the front sensor cable, accessible only from the back after removing the glass.

  • Two Knowles MEMS microphones are found on the flex cable attached to the back of the phone
