| + | [title] Final Thoughts |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] The Pixel 2 XL earns a ***X out of 10*** on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair): |
| + | [* green] Many components are modular and can be replaced once the display assembly is removed, despite added adhesive and some complex layering. |
| + | [* green] All of the screws are common Phillips #00 screws. |
| + | [* yellow] The display is still thing and poorly supported, but foam adhesive makes the opening process easier, even while the speaker grilles make it a bit more dangerous. |
| + | [* red] The loss of the pull-tab adhesive, and placement in a well in the case makes the battery hard to remove without solvents. |
| + | [* red] In addition to screws, the midframe is secured by snug, press-fit notches and additional tabs covering cables making most repairs more complex. |
