Summary
Based on the teardown the LG G4 has a moderate level of repairability. The lack of adhesive and easy access to the battery are positive factors but the need to disassemble multiple components and the soldered charging port are negative factors. Overall I would give the device a score of 7.5 out of 10 for repairability.
