The Huawei Mate 9 earns a 5 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):
-
Most of the components—like both camera units, the loudspeaker, and the USB board—can be replaced. Even the proximity sensor and the NFC antenna are modular.
-
Despite the annoying hexalobe screws, the Mate 9 comes with only a few standard Phillips screws on the inside.
-
The battery is trapped behind some flex cables and is glued tightly into place, but still can be swapped out when its power starts to fade away.
-
Although we are happy to find a headphone jack, it is soldered to the board and calls for special soldering skills if it should fail.
-
Replacing a broken display, one of the most common repairs, will be one of the most difficult ones on this phablet.
