Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the Lenovo Vibe K4 Note seems to be average. The lack of adhesive used for the back cover and the easy accessibility of the battery and battery cable are positive factors. However the use of adhesive for the battery and the need to disassemble several components to replace the screen are negative factors. The mid frame also needs to be removed to access certain parts which can make repairs more difficult. Overall I would give the device a score of 7.0 out of 10 for repairability.
