Description
Used flip/slider phones come from clamshell/slider phones that are scrapped during consumption (not for reuse or remanufacturing of the whole machine) with a screen size of less than 2.5 inches. The process represented in this dataset is that after entering the dismantling workshop, the used flip/slider mobile phone is decomposed using manual and mechanical processes to form dismantling products such as materials or parts, and manual disassembly uses manual, pneumatic, and power tools to dismantle all components or parts that can be directly removed (excluding accessories such as chargers, power cables, and headphones).
