    Why why i thought it was going to be repairable like fairphone

      They could've competed with Fairphone if they made the battery user replaceable. What a missed opportunity.

        As expected easy to remove back panel with crews and thats about it.

It costs less than $200, competes with Chinese brands without being infested with bloatware

                    It is easier to remove battery on Redmi Note 4 than this. Just remove back panel with tweezer and do whatever you want.

                      Yeah. I knew this would happen. Nothing's phones have been pains in the butt to repair from day one. I knew this one would be just a gimmick. Even Motorola isn't this bad (and is way better than Nothing when it comes to parts availability, actually).

                        I originally thought the screw design would make this a quick battery removal phone leasing to less e-waste. No manufacturer seems to be moving this way despite the EU law change.
