It's nice then that iFixit got round to tearing down the self-proclaimed "2016 Flagship Killer" so we can gather up some more easily digestible info. The procedure kicks off with an X-ray shot of the smartphone, but regardless of its outcome, the device was already scheduled for surgery.

The folks then proceed to remove the non-removable battery and dismantle the camera modules, pointing out that the 1.3 micron pixel size of the 13MP sensor is the largest they've seen. The mainboard is held by a single screw, while the microUSB Type-C connector/cable assembly should be easily replaceable.
