iFixit has given Google’s new Pixel 3a a higher repairability rating than the Pixel 3
Google’s newest phones just launched this week, and they dramatically undercut the prices of other flagships on our best phones list, including Google’s own Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. There are some trade-offs in getting the new Pixel 3a down to $399, but repairability isn’t one of them, as the phone earned a 6 out of 10 score from iFixit.
The Google Pixel 3a is easy to open, as it uses a spongy material instead of the type of adhesive usually found in premium phones, according to the iFixit team. This allows the screen to come off without even needing to use a heating tool to soften the adhesive.
