One of the most desired smartphones of the moment is the Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition, device that has done so much arguing because of its original transparent back cover that shows a series of hardware components, hypothesized to launch as true. Then there are those who shouted to the scandal asserting that in reality it was a simple sticker and then instead definitively clarify officially. Said the hardware at the top, such as the CPU Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, RAM type LPDDR4X and internal memory UFS 2.1 expandable via micro SD, it all goes into the background to not forget the fingerprint sensor intergated in the display and especially the unlock through Face 3D, the only Android device to be equipped and keep up with what Apple offers.
In any case, the "mystery" on the internal components in sight remains, and therefore what better way to shed light on the story if not disassembling the device? The crash tester answers this question JerryRigEverything, who has seen fit to put the smartphone under pressure by carrying out a series of tests, or rather tortures, in which Mi 8 Explorer Edition comes out with flying colors. The only drawback is the lack of IP6X certification.
