Step one is getting past all the phone glue, which involves heating up the screen, pulling the screen away from the body with a suction cup, and cutting the glue around the edge with a soft pick. iFixit says the adhesive was &#8220;easier to get into [than that in the iPhone] 15 Pro Max.&#8221; Unlike the iPhone 15 design, though, the Pixel 8 Pro only opens from one side, so you&#8217;ll most likely have to remove every single part in the phone to swap out the back.<\/p>\n<p>The guts of the phone <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2022\/10\/pixel-7-pro-teardown-shows-better-cooling-cleaner-layout-than-last-years-model\/\">look just like<\/a> the Pixel 7 Pro, but Google has started to pick up on a few of Apple&#8217;s tendencies to make the phone&#8217;s insides look nice. This year the battery is cleanly branded &#8220;Google,&#8221; whereas last year it was just covered in manufacturer information and warnings. Of course, you&#8217;ll only see this after you peel off the graphite cooling pad, which, for the second year in a row, has seen a big increase in area; it now covers about 60 percent of the battery. The Pixel phone runs a &#8220;Tensor&#8221; SoC made in partnership with Samsung, so more cooling will definitely help.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1977914#p3\">Read 2 remaining paragraphs<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1977914&amp;comments=1\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Ars Technica &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1977914\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pixel 8 Pro teardown reveals better cooling, interior \u201cGoogle\u201d branding<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The guts of the Pixel 8 Pro, once the cooling pad has been removed.
