Just curious, were the antenna or antenna(s) are located on our device?
I would think the bottom since the top of the back side is occupied by the camera...
Anyone?
Could the ring around the camera and the metal strip on the back be used for the antenna?
I'm thinking there's probably one at the bottom of the phone...
Anyone?
Anyone?
I have a feeling the metal strip on the back is used as an antenna. If you look at the inside of the cover there are two little connector pieces that touches the camera metal ring, which is connects to the metal strip on the back cover...
Can anyone confirm this?
Dunno for sure - my time has been pretty tied up in this phone and I haven't gotten around to a lot of what I want...finding a teardown has been one of my to-do's.
I can say from my extensively thorough testing of GPS/ A-GPS on the phone that the signal is hindered by placing your hand around and over the top of the screen in the upper left corner, including covering the volume controls from the side.
I have been watching readouts on my screen which get weaker when placing my hand in that position and stronger when removing it, almost instantaneously...duplicated more times then I can count.
Not exactly what you were looking for, but one more puzzle piece to play with.
Thanks for the input!
Yea I think you're right...It's somewhere in the upper (top) portion of the phone where the camera is located. Also as mentioned, I think the metal ring around the camera and the metal strip on the back cover is also a part of the antenna.
If you take the back cover off you'll see two little connector points. Most phones utilize the metal around the camera when can.
Hope to find a tear down soon....Glad to see someone else with interest of a tear down....Always fun to see a break down.
Cheers.

I've had my tf700t for a few days now and have been assuming the mic was one of the tiny holes on the left or right sides of the tablet, when in fact the hole on the back is the actual mic.
So my question is: What are the holes on the left and right sides of the tablet?
Just found an online user manual and found that the hole on the left is a reset button and the hole on the right is a mic and also the hole on the back is a mic as well.
Just wanted to ask if anyone who has the K1 about their speakers
I feel on my unit the sound coming out of the top speaker is louder than the bottom speaker is that normal? for example at max volume I can feel the vibration of the sound from the top speaker but not the bottom.
Also I can make the bottom speaker frame click by pressing on it like the plastic is slightly separating (This in particular is concerning) but I wanted to see if it was a manufacturing thing I cba RMA'ing for a replacement just for that to have the same issue.
It happens when you press on the top of the bottom speaker with your thumb kinda like jiggling a tooth you'll hear it and feel it move.

speaker are ok for me..
About the clicking it depends..
On mine it's not the speaker that move but a little click came from the rear tablet panel...but it's definitively not faulty...only normal plastic assembly

I've got the clicking when pressing around speaker grills on both top and bottom edges. Not sure what to think about it but I don't like it. Might return it and keep the Dell 7840.

Hi guys,
Can you do a quick check with your devices?
How does it feel the main camera glass? How does it fits? (Is it uniform and leveled all the way? Or is some a part slightly higher than the rest?)
I mean, I can see that mine isn't all uniformly placed on is notch. And if I press the glass I can see that isn't properly solid, since it goes down with the pressure of my finger.
Is this normal? I'm still in time of sending it back, but I would like to know if someone else has a similar experience.
Thank you
Ois causes the movement
And there is layers of glass on the camera which can explain why
Well, I would expect the layer of glass to not move when pressured. But maybe it's a normal thing after all
Hello,
Received my Note10+ yesterday, so far love the device.
I just noticed today (this morning) on bright sun / light a gap of couple of millimeters on top of the screen.
Looks like screen is not going to the edge on top side only, is this normal?

Please see image for better view / understanding.
Thanks
that gap is for the sensors and speaker
Thank you very much for your time and responding to this thread.
I am a little bit confused, isnt the speaker at the bottom?
I had Samsung S10+ until yesterday, and i do not remember seeing gap like this (its not the same phone, but, probably similar design / i might be wrong though).
Thank you
The gap in the middle 2 arrows are the cut out for the front speaker the other gaps are where the screen meets the frame sometime there bigger on different phones its hut and miss
But if it bothers you exchange it for one that fits a bit better
Thank you very much for responding.
I think i have 15 days to replace / return the phone (i will re-check), but, if its kinda normal, and possible on any other phone, even replacement, i do not think its wise to do it.
Once i put case on, i do not even think it will be that visible (hardly visible now as well if not on bright light).
Biggest concern if this would affect IP68 in anyway
Thanks

I think there is a way you can test the ip rating without obviously putting it in water
Back when I had the xperia phones you could squeeze the device and check the pressure didn't rise and stay risen to indicate its water tight
Thank you again for your time.
I decided to test that gap by pouring water on it for about 20-30 seconds, no issues at all.
I will not bother with this, will just enjoy the phone.
Thanks again.
The picture link is not working. From my understanding the only small gap should be in the center where the top speaker hole is. But the left and right side of the top speaker till the corner should not have any gap. I am having the same issue. I'm going to check to see if other models are like that.
Same, should not be there.
In the end i decided to return the phone.
Upon closer inspections took some photos and judging by other demo units on display. They all have that white line gap. Some are more noticable than others. But same line can be seen. I compared 3 different phones from different stores. They all exist. It's seems like that white line looks like maybe it's the adhesive glue. The middle does not have it where the ear speaker cutout is, where the ear speaker hole ends on both side left and right white line is visible because of the extra gap on both sides and it appears that the line stops before the corner on each side of the glass on the top. It's maybe nitpicking buts it's really annoying. I checked on the S10 it's not present on that model and none I see on the Note 9 too. I checked. And since it's like white color can be visible inside the small gap line on the top where the glass meets up with the metal frame.
I actually just discovered that I can get a piece of paper down between the top of the screen and the frame on my Note 10 +!!!??? All along the top of the glass - from the top left corner to the right?
Is this what you are talking about? And will the phone still be waterproof? (There could still be a rubber membrane that prevents water from entering the insides of the phone...)
