With the initial adhesive adventures behind us, the 6P has finally come out of its shell.

Unlike other phones we've seen lately, there's no discrete display assembly or easily removed rear cover here. Instead, the 6P's internals come out of the rear case in one mega-sized component assembly, leaving only the NFC antenna behind.

This isn't a good sign for the 6P's repairability—in fact, it reminds us of our harrowing experience with the HTC One M7.

On the bright side, it looks like a daughterboard interconnect cable is all that stands between us and the battery!
