Nossos engenheiros desmontaram e analisaram cada um dos dispositivos atribuindo-lhes uma pontuação numa escala de reparabilidade entre zero e dez. Dez significa o reparo mais fácil.
Como classificamos os dispositivos:
Um dispositivo com uma pontuação perfeita será relativamente barato de reparar porque é fácil de desmontar e tem um manual de serviço disponível. Pontos são atribuídos com base na dificuldade de abrir o dispositivo, os tipos de fixadores encontrados dentro e a complexidade envolvida na substituição dos componentes principais. Damos pontos por possibilidade de fazer upgrade, uso de ferramentas de manutenção não-patenteadas e modularidade dos componentes.
Glued-down glass panels are an unnecessary barrier to entry for repairs, especially given the phone's lack of ingress protection.
Battery replacements are possible, but unnecessarily difficult due to poorly-routed cables and the lack of stretch-release adhesive.
The components involved in the folding process are likely to wear over time (even if you don't bathe them in purple dust), necessitating eventual replacement.

Critical display and battery repairs remain a priority in the iPhone's design.
The battery procedure has been simplified and many components are accessible independently.
Glass on front and back doubles the likelihood of drop damage—and if the back glass breaks, you'll be removing every component and replacing the entire chassis.

Key components like the battery and screen have been prioritized in the design and are accessible either without tools or just a regular Phillips screwdriver.
Visual cues inside the phone help with disassembling and replacing its parts and modules.
Replacing complete modules is very easy. Going for their internal parts is also possible and requires a Torx screwdriver.

Replacing a broken display, one of the most common repairs, will be one of the most difficult ones on this phablet.
The battery is trapped behind some flex cables and is glued tightly into place, but still can be swapped out when its power starts to fade away.
Most of the components—like both camera units, the loudspeaker, and the USB board—can be replaced. Even the proximity sensor and the NFC antenna are modular.

It's very difficult—although not impossible—to open the device without damaging the glass camera cover. Because of the unibody design, this makes every component extremely difficult to replace.
The display assembly cannot be replaced without tunneling through the entire phone. This makes one of the most common repairs, a damaged screen, difficult to accomplish.
Tough adhesive holds the rear cover panels and battery in place.
