Summary
The Motorola Moto E40 has a repairability score of 6.0 out of 10. The back cover is easy to remove and there is no adhesive holding it down which is a plus. However the adhesive on the battery is very strong and there are no pull tabs provided to help with removal so isopropyl alcohol is needed. The other components are also held down with adhesive but can be replaced with some heat and prying.
