Can we get a priv teardown please?

just curious if the wireless charging is upgradable.

Check this one out! Priv looks great on the inside too and it's nice to know that the screen is fairly easy to replace if disaster strikes

Ask the ifixit guys.

There is a partial tear down on the xda site. Just type priv in the search bar there.

Poor priv..... :-(

BlackBerry, what else?

[Ph0ton]

Just wanted to point out you do not need to remove the keyboard in order to remove the rear-half of the case.

Can you explain how?

I hope this shows people why blackberry could only fit the thin 2mpx shooter in the phone.

I was about to create a new thread with this linkage:



But I guess we can use this thread because it exists already. HA!

Nobody speaks, but the dood doing the work has a long pinky nail for some reason. We all know what that's for? Don't we? LmAo, just kidding, but go watch Super Fly anyway.

It pretty much does, yeah.

Although, just looking at the BlackBerry PRIV without even taking it apart explains why it's such a 'little' camera.

Eh not really. Early pre-production builds had 5MP.

If that's the case, lol, which it is... Haha! I wonder why they went with 2 megapixels then? Cost, had to be. They build a pre-production model with a better camera, then release something less? Doesn't make sense, unless it was a cost thing... Again, which it was... LoL

To answer OP's question whether Qi support can be added: Probably not.



As you can see from the pictures I captured from the videos: The connector on the mainboard is not even populated. Maybe there are missing even more parts. If someone wants to solder springs onto his phone and try it out with a STV100-1 backplate, be my guest. Also, I don't know if they used different antennas for the different back covers.
