Taking the phone apart is simple because it doesn't use glue

The phone uses no glue and only a few screws which makes the process of taking the phone apart a lot smoother. See More

Top Con

Whole display assembly requires replacement if glass breaks

The display assembly is fused, meaning that the whole thing will need to be replaced if there is damage to the LCD or glass. See More

Fairphone 2

Modular

The seven main parts of the phone (main chassis, battery, display assembly, rear camera, receiver, speaker and cover) can be swapped without changing anything else. The screen can be changed using just your hands, without any screwdrivers or tools. See More

Answer 3

Google Pixel

Battery is very simple to replace

Top Con

Display needs to be removed to access other components

Nothing can be changed without removing the display first. The display is fairly thin and fragile, so you have to be careful whenever you take it apart. See More
