| + | [title] Final Thoughts |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] The Mate 9 earns a ***6 out of 10*** on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair): |
| + | [* green] Most of the components—like both camera units, the loudspeaker or the USB board—can be replaced. Even the proximity sensor and the NFC antenna are modular. |
| + | [* green] Despite the annoying Pentalobe screws the Mate 9 comes along with only a few standard Phillips screws on the inside. |
| + | [* yellow] The battery is trapped behind some flex cables and is glued tightly into place but still can be swapped out when its power starts to fade away. |
| + | [* yellow] Although we are happy to find a headphone jack, it is soldered to the motherboard and calls for special soldering skills if it should fail. |
| + | [* red] Replacing a broken display—as one of the most common repairs—will be one of the most difficult ones on this phablet. |
