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.
