    Maximum points for battery replacement should be given when the back can be removed without any screws or glue and when the battery can then be removed without first having to remove cables running across it and then also having to tear apart a layer of glue. Oh and also without voiding your warranty. This should get 0.5 of 2 points at most because you at least don’t have to remove the display or damage any other component or part of the chassis in the process.

      "The 12 MP front-facing camera is glued into place, which means it's only replaceable if you use a knife to cut the glue."

      I'm not sure how that contribute to the score. If this is Fairphone, you can easily replace it with just a couple of screws. Also, there's not a single glue present in aby of Fairphone devices. For me, that is the ultimate form of repairability and also upgradability.
