Final Thoughts
  • The Pixel 3a earns a 6 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):

  • Most components are modular and can be easily replaced once the display assembly is removed.

  • Repair-friendly stretch-release adhesive secures the battery.

  • The only screws are standard T3 Torx fasteners.

  • The display comes off first, but is thin and poorly supported. Foam adhesive makes the opening process relatively easy.

  • The myriad long, thin ribbon cables connecting the internal componentry can be obnoxious to work around, and are easy to accidentally tear.
