The Android powered Dell Streak has recently gone live on AT&T, and it seems to have taken iFixit no time in getting the device torn apart and violated for you viewing pleasure. What sort of innards did they find within the mutant phone-tablet? Read on to find out!
Some of the highlights found in the tear down are an LCD display that is bonded to the glass panel, which makes the device more durable, and also increases the sensitivity of the touchscreen. We’ve seen the Streak get stabbed repeatedly by Engadget to show just how strong the gorilla glass is that’s used on the device. Thanks to the glass and bonded panel, the Streak will be able to take a beating, and it won’t hate you for it after the fact. The LCD display may be a permanent fixture to the glass panel, but iFixit says that the adhesive that keeps it there could be removed, if you’re careful enough.
There are five screws holding the Streak together that can be found underneath the bezels on the front of the device. It’s said to be “super easy” to open up, so you won’t be searching the entire device to find out how to crack this bad boy open. What’s interesting to see on the Streak is that is has a 2nd MicroSD card within the device that’s home to the Android OS system and Android apps. Removing said MicroSD card is a no-no, as Dell wants it to stay put.
Other mentionables about the Streak:
- Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon processor
