Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the Lava Yuva 3 seems to be quite low. The use of adhesive for the back cover and battery as well as the need to disassemble multiple components and remove plastic covers make it difficult for users to repair the device themselves. However the easily accessible battery cable and the provision of pull tabs for battery removal are positive aspects. Overall I would give the device a score of 6.5 out of 10 for repairability.
