"Inside the Google Pixel 8 Pro: Teardown reveals improved cooling and unique uses"

iFixit has conducted a teardown of the Google Pixel 8 Pro, praising its construction and commitment to seven years of security updates. The screen was securely glued in place but easier to remove than the iPhone 15 Pro. The battery removal required alcohol despite the provision of plastic tabs. The main cameras were impressive but bulky compared to competitors. The device features a temperature sensor, and the board contains Google's Tensor G3 processor and 12 GB of RAM. iFixit noted that the phone's components were free of software locks, making repairs easier. Overall, the commitment to security updates and repairability were the standout features of the Pixel 8 Pro.
