Thank you GSMArena and similar sites for this. Your constant quest for "premium" phones brought us this. I absolutely don't mind a similarly looking poly carbonate back panel - virtually unbreakable. Instead we are getting fragile glass so as to increase the after sale revenue of the phone manufacturers and wasting valuable hours of our lives to go to repair centers and shops. Next time you can ask for a silver frame - it will look so premium...

As long as the build quality keeps getting better and better. Of course ifixit doesn't post a build quality score.

AnonD-255899, 09 Mar 2016They have authorized service Centre. So why bother to repai... moreYeah. I completely missed the point of this iFixIt.
Sane and majority of people will just send to support center if their phones fails, regardless if its easy or not to repair.
Its not like you can DIY at home, and risk bricking it, and lose warranty.
