Final Thoughts
-
The Pixel XL earns a 7 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):
-
Many components are modular and can easily be replaced once the display assembly is removed.
-
The battery has a removal tab and is adhered by a modest amount of adhesive, making its removal painless.
-
All of the screws are T5 Torx screws.
-
The opening procedure requires prying up a thin, poorly-supported display assembly making it difficult to open the phone without damage.
-
In addition to screws, the midframe is secured by snug, press-fit notches that make its removal (and subsequent repairs) laborious.
