We are seeing a good handful of news about the new Google devices and the one that was missing to enter the scene is the iFixit team, with all the screwdrivers ready to discover the insides of the new Google smartphone, the Pixel. This time the teardown carried out by iFixit leaves us a score of six out of 10 regarding the possible repair or change of components. This note is quite good considering that current devices are increasingly difficult to repair in case of failure, but on the other hand having smaller components makes the devices better and more portable.
The interior of the new Pixel is interesting since the components are well assembled and connected to each other, battery, camera, memory, etc., which leaves us a good margin in case we have an internal fault. But not everything is good in this new device from the guys from the big G, the new Pixel has a major problem that prevents us from accessing the internal components and that is the screen is really difficult to take off the set due to its own thinness and this is the key step to access the rest of the components. This also indicates that if the screen breaks it can be difficult to reassemble, but in a qualified technical service we should not have a problem.
In general, the new Google model is much simpler to repair than other current devices, but the truth is that the connectors of the internal hardware pieces are delicate and we do not mean to say that it is repairable by the common user, simply that it is more simple to repair than some of its rivals who mount the components directly glued or welded. The manufacturing detail by HTC is only patent on the device's battery with the silkscreen of the brand, in the rest there is no brand. All these and the rest of the disassembly details can be seen in the iFixit website.
