In a teardown of Nokia’s flagship N8 smartphone, repair site iFixit deemed the placement of the phone’s EMI shield a standout feature.After removing the screws and popping off the antenna, which Nokia put near the plastic plates near the top and bottom of the largely aluminum N8, the mid-plane can be removed. “The design of the steel mid-plane is pretty genius,” iFixit wrote. “Nokia integrated a large EMI shield into the mid-plane to protect the main chips. In addition, thermal pads were placed on the inner face of the mid-plane to conduct heat away from the main chips.”See the iFixit teardown.For more stories on shielding, visit our Shielding Channel.
