  • Samsung Galaxy S4 Repairability Score: 8 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

  • The battery can be replaced in seconds, without any tools.

  • Very easy to open and access internal components.

  • There are only 11 screws in the entire device, all standard Phillips #0 (no proprietary or security sizes).

  • Most of the smaller components are modular and can be replaced individually, but several of them are adhered in place, increasing replacement difficulty.

  • The glass is fused to both the display and the display frame, increasing repair costs.

  • You'll have to go through the entire phone in order to replace the front panel, since everything is built into the back of it.
