Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the Vivo V3 seems to be relatively good. The back cover can be easily removed without the use of a heat gun and the battery and battery cable are easily accessible. However the use of adhesive for the battery and the need to remove metal plates over cable connectors may make repairs slightly more difficult. Overall I would give the device a score of 8.0 out of 10 for repairability.
