The recently launched Google Nexus 6P looked really promising with features comparable to iPhone 6S Plus, while being cheaper by almost $300 compared to the latter.
However, iFixit, a global community of people helping each other repair things, has made a shocking discovery in its review of the Nexus 6P teardown – Google’s latest smartphone scored 2 out of 10 in repairability, meaning that fixing Nexus 6P is probably a Herculean task.
Citing the reasons for such a low score, the review states:
- 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 most common repairs, a damaged screen, difficult to accomplish.
- Tough adhesive holds the rear cover panels and battery in place.
The report however added that strong external construction improves the durability of the smartphone and that the battery is immediately accessible once the complex opening procedure is complete.
