Huawei P40 lite disassembled on video, proves easy to take apart

The Huawei P40 lite stars in the following disassembly video, which gives us a glimpse at what's going on inside the phone. It starts with removing the plastic back cover and unscrewing 18 Phillips screws.

Thermal paste is used on some of the other chips to connect them to their metal shields, which also helps heat dissipation. Interestingly, there are rubber gaskets around the USB-C port and the 3.5mm headphone jack, even though the Huawei...
