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.
