Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Repairability Score: 8 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair).

Once the rear case is off, most components can be individually replaced without removing any other parts.

The front glass and LCD can be replaced separately, thereby reducing the cost of fixing your Note should you drop it onto concrete in just the right way.

All screws are Phillips #0, and there are only five different length screws.

Components are modular. The absence of complicated ribbon cables makes replacing individual components easy.

The rear case is held on by a lot of clips and a couple screws. There is no adhesive, but the clips can be tricky to dislodge properly.

In order to remove the battery, you first have to disconnect four cables and some tape.

The inner frame and some other components are held in with more adhesive than we feel is necessary.
