Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the device seems to be average. While some components can be easily replaced such as the back plate and camera lens covers others require more effort and tools such as heating and prying to access. The use of adhesive also adds to the difficulty of repairs. However the availability of pull tabs for the battery and the use of standard screws make it slightly easier to replace certain components. Overall I would give the device a score of 7.0 out of 10 for repairability.
