In other words, if you want to change the USB port of your phone, also planning a QHD panel.
In addition to the screen, one of the most common surgeries performed on a phone is to change the battery. In this case, it can be accessed without removing the motherboard, which is good news. However, the amount of adhesives and glue the pieces together now is such that access is restricted to more specific.
No surprise the components side
