  • Amazon Fire Phone Repairability: 3 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

  • External, non-proprietary screws means no adhesive holding the device together, and an easier time getting in.

  • While adhesive tabs on the battery ease its removal, it's still a pretty tricky job—if you break the (flimsy) pull tabs, you'll be heating and prying.

  • Tons of cables and connectors make disassembly tedious and reassembly difficult.

  • The four Dynamic Perspective cameras are encased in glue. Replacement will mean heat and cutting.

  • A replacement display assembly will need to include four replacement cameras ($$), or will require a lot of extra work transferring cameras.

  • The Fire Phone is not modular; several components share cables—this will increase the cost of replacement parts.
