  • Fairphone repairability score: 7 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair).

  • The battery can be replaced without any tools.

  • It's very easy to open and access the internal components.

  • There are only 8 screws in the entire device, all standard Phillips #000 (no proprietary or security).

  • The Fairphone comes with a set of free, open source repair manuals.

  • Several smaller components are soldered to the motherboard, increasing repair difficulty (front-facing camera, vibrator motor, LED flash, and headphone jack).

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