LG G5 gets an awesome 8/10 repairability score from iFixit

06 April, 2016
LG's new flagship offer is anything, but traditional and not necessarily in the best of ways. But, regardless of how you view the rather unorthodox design approach of the Korean OEM, it appears to have at least one clear advantage over many of its direct competitors - repairability.

I have to admit that this LG phone G5,it was conceived and made, with great intelligence. A top innovation and the future. It is also normal to be easy to repair. Bravo company who produced it. It's over used second the S7 from Samsung at all chapters.

            If you need a 5.5 or bigger get another phone. I have one 5.5 and think its too big. This phone size is fine.

                    This score is actually a true test of phones. The larger is, the phone has been made with the head, thought, and not to produce, on the run, etc. Expected to be so. Now comes another additional confirmation.

                      LG has managed to produce a phone that at this point, of the ease of repair, is the champion. Good jobs LG.

                        This is a top product, even when it is needed, a repair. This is King, LG G5.
                        I give my money, only on quality and valuable things, like this phone G5, manufactured by LG.

                            The people at LG, have managed to make a simple phone, nice, amenities, and most importantly, easy to maintain and repair, in case of need.

                              Can see the Moon and the phone from LG, namely G5, is one of the top. Is higher up and to this fact, can be repaired easily.

                                    Maybe you could put it back together properly, so it would look like an s7 instead of a meccano set lol.

Looks at the components and how easy to access the internals, I would not be surprised if they came up with simple upgrade replacement motherboard with more ram and up todate chips if your screen is still good enough.

Apple on the other hand, had low scores since the beginning and exactly as you said; used excessive glue with every release.
