Google might have just made its most repairable phone ever with the Pixel 10 Pro. A recent teardown video from YouTuber JerryRigEverything shows a device that’s surprisingly easy to fix, a welcome change in an industry known for sealed-shut slabs.
What’s the deal with the Pixel 10’s repairability?A teardown video of the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL reveals a phone that was designed with repairability in mind. As noted by JerryRig himself, Google has made genuine parts available through iFixit and even released a comprehensive, 234-page repair guide for free. This is a big step towards empowering users to fix their own devices.
The video also highlights just how simple some common repairs could be. The screen removal process is described as „near foolproof“, so much so that a skilled technician could potentially swap one out in about two minutes.
For the first time, the battery is also easily removable thanks to a simple green pull-tab system, a far cry from the glued-in batteries we’ve become accustomed to, and that Google has been so vehemently criticized for.
