We’ve seen the Samsung latest phone, the Galaxy S7 edge, broken down into its various component parts multiple times now, but I think it’s fair to say this is the first time someone has used an X-Ray to capture the insides of the device.
The X-rays come courtesy of Reddit user SecretRaindrop, who used an industrial X-ray machine to capture the images you see throughout this post.

Perhaps the most interesting photo is of the S7’s heat pipe. With the help of the X-ray machine, it’s possible to see the threads that run through the pipe. Another interesting shot shows the small magnets that act as the phone’s optical image stabilization mechanism.

More than anything, the X-rays are a good reminder of just how much engineering effort and talent goes into creating modern smartphones.
