LG Nexus 5X is quite easy to repair according to iFixit

Posted on by

The crafty folks from iFixit got their hands on the brand new LG Nexus 5X and gave it the mandatory teardown treatment. Google’s entry level smartphone walked away with the stellar repairability score of 7, thus meaning that it is quite easy to mend if broken.

iFixit gave LG props for making the Nexus 5X with modular components that are easy to replace if necessary. Components are put together via standard Phillips screws, so tools are easy to find too.

A perfect repairability score eluded the smartphone due to battery that’s not easily replaceable by users, as well as display that’s fused to the glass. Such setup requires both parts to be replaced in case the display gets damaged.

Shouldn’t more businesses be alarmed by ad-blocking, a practice that’s likely to grow? Aren’t most businesses today — media companies and non-media companies alike — dependent on the survival of digital and mobile advertising?
