Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the Samsung Galaxy s23 Fe seems to be relatively high. The back plate can be easily removed with the use of heat and a plastic pry tool and the glass camera lens covers can be replaced without having to take apart the phone. The battery and other components can also be easily accessed and replaced. However replacing the screen does require some disassembly of the phone which may be more difficult for some users. Overall I would give the repairability of the device a score of 8.0 out of 10.
