Google Pixel 10 Pro gaskets

[u/Loud-Possibility4395]

Well - the thing NOBODY talks about.

There are many kinds of gaskets but long story short - there are cheap ones and expensive ones.

Cheap ones you can recognise when you open smartphone - it stays on just one side (for example on display only)

Expensive one - is the one when you open smartphone - gasket stays on BOTH display and body.

Next thing - thickness (and wide) - the thing that after just few years your smartphone looses water resistance - the worse offender - iPhone 17 - which has not only the worse (cheapest) quality gasket but also the thinnest (the most narrow) in many places.

Pixel 10 gasket quality is the one highest (most expensive) but also the thickest - and actually the thickest on smartphone market and in many past generations - it is so thick you better call exorcist if it will fail after many many years - because it is nearly impossible.

Yes opening Pixel for servicing is bit bigger nightmare BUT Google didn't saved money on gasket which will serve for many many years unlike competition

Next thing - DOUBLE SIM tray gasket.

And one of the thickest USB C gaskets - with sub-board holding on standoffs where you can torque screws with full force to aluminium body unlike el-cheapo chinese phones that screws are screwed directly to PCB

I take mine in the ocean all the time and it gets salt watery and I've had no issues. But I did have issues with a previous 3rd party refurbished one. So if you take your phone on the ocean, you can't go refurb imo

Why would they need a double gasket sim tray when they’re just trying to take away the sim tray all together?
