There is no way this phone deserves an 8 out of 10 for repairability when you have to take the phone apart to replace the battety.
That's not what reparability is talking about. That's a feature that a phone either has or that was sacrificed for slimness. The fact that the nexus 5 is slim AND able to have the battery replaced is just a plus.
Um how many people are going to open their smartphone to fix it? Way less than 1% of the people who buy it. I'd rather have tons of glue being used...why? mechanical fasteners can come loose.
You realize of course they actually use screws to make it easier to take apart and put back together?
I rather they use more screws and less glue so these things can be fixed or modded easily.
