Summary

Based on the teardown the repairability of the Redmi 5A would likely be around a 7.0 out of 10. While there are some positive aspects such as the lack of adhesive on the back cover and easy access to the battery there are also several negative aspects such as the use of adhesive on the battery and the need to disassemble multiple components to replace the screen. Additionally the plastic covers covering the boards may make it more difficult to access certain cables. Overall while it is not the most difficult device to repair it does have some challenges that may make it less repairable than other devices.
