| + | [* black] Samsung's Galaxy Fold earns a ***2 out of 10*** on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair): |
|---|---|
| + | [* green] A single Phillips driver takes care of all the screws. |
| + | [* green] Many components are modular and can be replaced independently. |
| + | [* red] The mechanics involved in the fold are likely to wear over time, causing stress to cables, hinges, and display. |
| + | [* red] The lack of ingress protection and fragility of the main display mean you'll almost certainly be replacing the screen before long—a pricey repair. |
| + | [* red] Battery replacements are possible, but unnecessarily difficult—solvents help, but risk damage to the display supports. |
| + | [* red] Glued-down glass both front and back means greater risk of breakage, and makes repairs difficult to start. |
