| [* black] The Samsung Galaxy Note8 earns a ***4 out of 10*** on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair): | |
| - | [* green] Many components are modular and can be replaced independently. |
| - | [* yellow] The battery ''can'' be replaced, but tough adhesive and a glued-on rear panel make it unnecessarily difficult. |
| - | [* red] Front and back glass make for double the crackability, and strong adhesive on both makes it tough to access the internals for any repair. |
| - | [* red] Because of the curved screen, replacing the front glass without destroying the display is difficult. |
| + | [* green] Many components, including all of those that experience wear, are modular and can be replaced independently. |
| + | [* green] There are only Phillips screws inside of the phone |
| + | [* yellow] The battery ''can'' be replaced, but tough adhesive and a glued-on rear panel make it unnecessarily difficult. |
| + | [* red] All repairs require removing the glass rear panel, which is challenging due to the large amount of adhesive. |
| + | [* red] Replacing the display requires removing the glass rear panel and the display, both of which are fragile and secured with strong adhesive. |
