Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the Redmi K50i seems to be average. The use of adhesive for the back cover and battery can make it difficult to open and replace these components. Additionally the need to disassemble multiple components and remove the mid frame to access certain parts can add to the complexity of repairs. However the battery cable and pull tabs provided for battery removal are positive aspects that can make certain repairs easier. Overall I would give the device a score of 6.0 out of 10 for repairability.
