Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the OnePlus Nord 3 5G seems to be moderate. The use of strong adhesive for the back cover and battery can make it difficult to open and access certain components. However the battery and screen are easily accessible and can be removed with pull tabs. The need to remove plastic covers to access cables may also add some difficulty to repairs. Overall I would give the device a score of 7.0 out of 10 for repairability.
