 So we have a great video for you guys today actually we have no idea if it's gonna be a great video because as you can clearly tell our Meezu 16th not to be confused with the Meezu 16 This is no no, I and it's just fine Anyway, it's not the 15 our Meezu 16th is clearly still shrink-wrapped But we were intrigued by this phone because on the product page for it it claims to be water-cooled And it's not the only phone to claim that so what the crap exactly is water cooling in phones Can we can we investigate that by perhaps taking it apart? We sure think so, but we've been known to make mistakes from time to time Speaking of mistakes this video is brought to you by Did we remember to get a sponsor did we make a mistake? Last wire allows you to instantly see your current and past network activity detect malware and block badly behaving apps on your PC or Android device Use offer code Linus to get 25% off at the link below So step number one would be to open the package Yeah, I mean what else is cool about this phone. Do you know what else is cool? I actually don't know anything about this phone. Why did we even pick this phone? So it's got a snapdragon 845 Yeah, so it's pretty flagship. We got 8 gigs of ram 128 gigs of storage there's a 6 inch screen 3,000 milliamp hour battery and an in-screen fingerprint sensor Oh, that's cool. That is pretty cool. What other phones have that other than the vivo? Yeah, one plus. Oh really? Yeah, the 16 so it feels pretty phony that is to say that it's genuine but Like a phone. Oh to get a complete fingerprint, please peel the plastic film off So apparently their skin is called fly me. I've actually never used a mezu mezu mezu phone before Apparently there is Lineage OS for it. So that's pretty cool. Kate you're really not helping. It feels pretty Like kind of one plus six actually, how do we really how do you even view? I don't Android now even fun That's been you'll be Spanish. No. Oh jeez Louise Well, let's see what else is in this this here box while he's taking this. Hey, dole sim What do you have? Well, bam a charger. Look at that. Oh, that is a big charger. What is it? There another case we get two cases. We got two cases. What the heck really? camera die So while Brandon fixes the camera, I'm gonna go ahead and enroll my fingerprint. This is significantly slower than the one plus 61 Like it's like see that it lights up under your finger. Yeah Congrats the setting is completed. Yeah Apps you can't miss. Oh, we better get snapped. I want Zender file That looks pretty clean. Yeah, let's see. What about the settings? What the heck that looks very iPhone II. What about the camera? I've seen worse. It's a little bit cool What okay? Hold on. I gotta go landscape for that terrible, okay Yeah, it's it's not great. It's kind of lifeless, you know, like pasty and really white Basically what now we do the autopsy we might have a what the kids would describe as a bad freaking time You're not I would know that because I'm a kid you're not old enough to do the like as the kids would say no That's the whole joke though. So this just looks like what we're just I say we try and take the back off You want to go back? Well look at the screen. It doesn't look like that's the thing that separates. I bet it does Let's take the back off. What is this? Is this a fingerprint scanner? I don't know what the crap that is We have it is a ring flash Wow, you have some huge pores. Sorry anyway You're gonna hold the big thing and I'm gonna stick it in okay But the guitar pick what are you how are you gonna get it in? Let me just kind of lick my finger here There is not much of a gap there are you yeah You might need more heat Yeah, it's cooling down sorry, whoops, how is it on again? Huh, it's not even showing the overheating to think either I'm gonna go eat love Yeah, that's a good idea. I think he's wrong. I think it's screen first, so I'm just gonna Pursue that Avenue this time. Why are these all different? Oh Hold up wait wait wait wait wait we're penetrated boys. Oh, yes, that is hot on my very bare hands. Oh There we go Yep looks like some adhesive Holding on to that there. Wow. There's no connections. Hey nice What is that? Whatever it was only like 400 bucks. Why did you just turn it on? I'm just curious making sure we didn't break it This is YouTube putting its best foot forward Security guard prank satisfying slime death wish dangerous riders seven riddles that will test your brain That was fun, so it works and we got it open How are we gonna keep track of where these go? I thought we weren't putting this back together. Why aren't we putting it back together? Just remember it's fine. No, I'm not gonna remember and you're not gonna remember They're probably all the same size screws anyway, they're probably not why would you say something like that? That's such a stupid thing to say There's actually a fairly good chance Did we just avoid our warranty? Is there anything under there? So yeah, wait no cuz there's the haptic feedback thing. So is this speaker? Yeah speaker Oh Okay Can you imagine if we open this up and it actually didn't have water Yeah, what's that scammed? What the hell are they talking? Okay, so what you're saying then is we should have gone in from the screen I don't know if we can that might actually don't know if we can you should probably take the battery connector off before we continue Yeah, we probably should. Oh, wait, is this a tab? No No Look at that careful. They'll bend it too much. They thought of that Um, should we stick long probie things under here? No, no plastic ones, please please take Okay, I still don't see Look at this it's got like extra antenna mounting spots like lots of them Fingernails the proper tool. That's what Lewis Rossman told me. Is it? Yeah, it's like I don't know. It's weird Yeah, it's like it is. Oh, that's all the same Oh Hey, look, there's the copper thingy. That's it. No, but wait, it's probably goes underneath yourself. That's their water cooling. I Don't think we have all of it out of there yet. It's got to be thin. It's a phone. That's how that work Yeah, yeah, yeah 0.4 millimeter stick point four millimeters. So basically there's our SOC Everything else has shields over it So it's actually kind of hard to tell exactly where the storage is if I had to guess I would say and Flash is probably under here or DRAM looks about that size But what we're after is the cooler so you can see that's where they've got the thermal compound between What again is presumably our SOC and I got the water cooling solution. What is it? I don't think we really get it out of there, but we can expose more of it. I Clean up them, please. Okay. I'll be right back The kids have gone to bed we can get some serious work done around here nice I Feel entirely comfortable being a just to you because you treat me exactly the same. You know what? It's just cuz you're old. Okay Wow, he's doing it with metal. Yikes. Is that it? That's the most we can expose Like can we take it apart more? I mean do we want to be able to put it back together or you don't care at this point? Well, I don't know. I want to give the people what they came for. We could we could cut it in half What's inside? To start like scratching at it Linus rig everything. Oh Wow, that's a cool guy. I love what he does He's just better at it than we are so I'm gonna let him do the scratching You know what? I don't even care because that you know what? That's as deep as we're going because I want to flip this phone on eBay when we're done. So basically What is water cooling what is water cooling? This did you want to go grab a prop for us? Do you want to go grab like a water cooler? Oh, I was gonna bring a heat sink. No Jake, you know, you're not watching What? Hey, can you go get a water cooler? Oh Yeah, no, I know you're talking about yeah, okay He was gonna go get a kind of need to fart though Okay, so you want to crack that open? You don't need a water cooling So basically what you're looking at here is I Think calling it a water cooler is a little disingenuous But you actually could make the argument that it's a fluid cooler at the very least Because what's happening is we've got a flat base So that allows it to make optimal contact with whatever type of processor whether it's a CPU GPU So see whatever type of processor you're trying to cool and then right under it and it really is actually very impressive How thin they've managed to make this this kind of tube shaped you might say it's kind of like a pipe Yeah, but it helps with the the heat, you know And also this aluminum heat sink that it's embedded in it's really really impressive how thin it is. But What it is is a heat pipe So it's actually the exact same technology that you would find in what we would Traditionally describe as an air cooler Sorry, I mean water cooler I'm gonna start calling them fluid coolers and the reason I'm gonna call them that is because the way a heat pipe works is Right here. Okay. So first of all these the inside of them is usually at very low pressure Like near vacuum and then in the factory you'll always notice at one end of a heat pipe You're gonna have a nice clean termination See that and then at the other end you've got kind of this mess where it was crimped off and sealed So that's because these are at very very low pressure So the low pressure affects both the boiling point of the fluid inside and the condensation point So what happens is here at the heat source Even though the difference in temperature between here and here the fluid because remember both liquids and gases are fluids The fluid will boil which will cause it to go to the end of the tube and then over at the end of the tube Where there is a fan? Blowing air through it to cool it or your hand which is effectively kind of like liquid cooling the phone like because your blood is pumping Your blood is liquid anyway Yes, so the point is that at the other end where that fluid is then being cooled It turns back into a liquid and then there is usually on the inside either Sintering or like some kind of wicking texture to the inside of the heat pipe that causes that liquid to wick Back to the point where it's heated up again, so you end up with this kind of this flow So is it water cooling? Not in the way that we would traditionally define water cooling because we've typically referred to this as heat pipe air cooling But there is fluid involved and in some cases heat pipes are actually filled with a fluid that is either Completely or mostly water so it's it's possible. It's water cooled But I'm gonna call it fluid cooling from now on to be fair. They do say water Do they really water is in its in quotes only water? so maybe they're like That's fine, right The Kensington Microsoft surface Pro docking station was exclusively designed for Microsoft's proprietary connect technology for a seamless dock and charge experience It's articulating hinge allows you to tilt raise or lay flat for comfortable use in any position It's got 4k output support with HDMI and display port that allows dual or single monitor use It's got five USB ports four of which are USB 3 and 1 USB type C and it comes with the optional free Kensington dock work software an Optional lock module to keep your workstation secure and is plug-and-play so you don't have to worry about downloading drivers learn more by clicking the link below Thanks for coming along on this fun little adventure with us if you guys dislike this video you can hit that button But if you liked it hit like get subscribed or maybe consider checking out where to buy the stuff we featured at the link in the video Description I'm not giving it a real strong recommendation I'd get a Pocophone F1 if I had 300 to 400 dollars to spend but anyway Also down there is our merch store which has cool shirts like this one and our community forum, which you should totally join You should join it.
