Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the Vivo Y1s seems to be average. While there are some positive aspects such as the lack of adhesive on the back cover and the accessibility of the battery there are also negative aspects such as the use of adhesive on the battery and the need to disassemble multiple components to replace the screen. The metal plates over the cable connectors also add an extra step to the repair process. Overall I would give the device a score of 8.0 out of 10 for repairability.
