  • Motorola Nexus 6 Repairability Score: 7 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair).

  • Pressure contacts and cable connectors make the modular components (cameras, buttons, headphone jack) easy to replace.

  • The Nexus 6 uses a single kind of screw, although it's a fairly uncommon size (T3).

  • Many many screws hold the midframe in place—this makes its removal somewhat tedious, but also means no clips or adhesive are needed to secure it to the front panel.

  • The glued-in battery is less accessible than we'd like, but it can be replaced.

  • Several components (vibrator, SIM slot, speaker, USB port) are soldered directly to the motherboard and will be more difficult to replace than if they were connected by cable.

  • The digitizer is fused to the display, increasing repair costs for a cracked screen, but it is easy to get to the bare display assembly.
