iFixit has been busy once again this week and has already taken their tools to the New HTC One M8 smartphone revealing its inner workings to the world.
During the New HTC One M8 teardown iFixit encountered a number of problems trying to just get into the case. Explaining that it was very difficult, although no longer impossible, to open the device without damaging the rear case.
iFixit awarded the New HTC One M8 smartphone a repairability Score: 2 out of 10, where 10 is easiest to repair. Other comments whilst dismantling the M8 smartphone included :
– The battery is buried beneath the motherboard and adhered to the midframe, hindering its replacement.
– The display assembly cannot be replaced without tunneling through the entire phone. This makes one of most common repairs, a damaged screen, very difficult to accomplish.
– Copious amounts of tape, adhesive, and copper shielding make many components difficult to remove and replace.
