JRE also pointed out that there are no additional screws involved with removing the screen, only a metal latch and a \u201cLego-style\u201d long black ribbon cable.<\/p>\n<p>JRE also pointed out in the teardown how to remove the battery, which\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/pixel-10-pro-xl-teardown-3597052\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Android Authority<\/a>\u00a0notes is \u201ceasily removable.\u201d According to JRE\u2019s teardown, removing the back glass reveals the Pixel 10 Pro XL\u2019s battery, alongside a green pull-tab. Removal of the battery is now composed of a few ribbons, the pull tab, and the battery plug, which makes removal as easy as a couple of yanks on the pull tab.<\/p>\n<p>The component that JRE pointed out would be a little difficult to remove is the camera and motherboard, mainly due to a few hidden screws holding the components in place.<\/p>\n<p>JRE summarized the Google Pixel 1o Pro XL as being one of the most repairable phones on the market this year, saying that it might even beat out the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ov752bRItA0?si=hSvCKdz9RdOHgmRd\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fairphone 6.<\/a> Overall, he cites the reasoning as being the accessibility of parts, the free manuals, and how easy it is to access and remove commonly-replaced components like the screen and the battery.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=USioSXDBIQw&amp;t=116s\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">JerryRigsEverything<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/pixel-10-pro-xl-teardown-3597052\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Android Authority\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>MobileSyrup may earn a commission from purchases made via our links, which helps fund the journalism we provide free on our website.
