Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the OnePlus Nord CE 3 seems to be average. While there are some positive aspects such as easily accessible battery and pull tabs for battery removal there are also negative aspects such as the use of strong adhesive and the need to remove the mid frame to access certain parts. Overall I would give the device a score of 6.5 out of 10 for repairability.
