After struggling through quite a bit more adhesive than expected, we're in!

Maybe Google thought the extra glue was necessary for that extra liquid IP point, but we've seen other IP68 phones that are easier to open.

Thankfully, the fingerprint sensor cable is long enough to avoid being torn by over-zealous openers.

The view inside is pretty much what we expected: a shiny new wireless charging pad, a battery, a board, a couple cameras, and a fingerprint sensor living on the rear cover.

Slightly less expected are metal covers over the motherboard, and a SIM tray hidden somewhere underneath the speaker assembly.

Google thought they'd scare us off with a few screws? Well guess what: we came prepared with a Torx bit for these screws, and 111 other bits just in case.
