Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the iQOO 13 5G seems to be average. While there are some positive aspects such as easily accessible battery and pull tabs for battery removal there are also negative aspects such as the use of adhesive for the back cover and battery and the need to remove plastic covers and metal plates to access certain components. Overall I would give the device a score of 7.5 out of 10 for repairability.
