A teardown of the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge has emerged showing that the device's heat pipe liquid cooling system does not have any visible liquid in it.
JerryRigEverything, a YouTube channel, carried out a teardown of the S7 edge, revealing an interesting discovery.
When Samsung launched its most recent premium flagship devices at the Mobile World Congress 2016, the company said the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge will come fitted with 30.4 percent more powerful CPU along with 63.9 percent faster GPU as opposed to the S6 handsets. With the phones' amped up power, Samsung added in the liquid cooling feature.
When JerryRigEverything opened the S7 edge, it uncovered that the system does not come with liquid, unlike what was spotted in Sony Xperia Z5 Premium. Rather, the phone's heat pipe is very much like what was previously seen in the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL.
JerryRigEverything says the copper wire, which can be seen within the heat pipe liquid cooling system, should help with heat dissipation. Even if the heat pipe is sliced, the phone's liquid cooling system should still do the job so long as it's covered up with the sticker plus the other components lying on top of it.
A blogpost by Mathew Brack of XDA-Developers Android Forums explains that the pipe operates by "wicking vapor" as the device heats up.
The teardown video also demonstrates that the Galaxy S7 is not hard to disassemble when doing repairs. It said, though, that the tricky part of it is detaching the glass case on the phone's back without breaking it. While most of its innards are not too difficult to remove, a few parts, such as the home button, seem not so easy to repair.
In Galaxy S7-related news, Tech Times previously reported that Samsung is going to launch its very own version of a leasing program both for the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge via its stores in South Korea. The program will kick off in time for the rolling out of the new phones on March 11.
Check out the video below if you wish to get a sneak peek of what is inside this flagship device. Do note that the explanation on how the liquid cooling system works will come at the 4:30 minute mark.
