Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the OnePlus 5T seems to be relatively good. The back cover can be removed easily without the use of heat and the battery and battery cable are easily accessible. However the use of adhesive for the battery and the need for special tools for disassembly are negative factors. Overall I would give the repairability of the OnePlus 5T a score of 7 out of 10.
