It seems the more modern the phones are, the more eye-catching it is the more difficult it is to repair.

It seems the more modern the phones are, the more eye-catching it is the more difficult it is to repair and upgrade the hardware. This is especially true of the newly launched Motorola RAZR folding screen smartphone, because this hit product only received a score of 1 out of 10 on the repair ability by the iFixit team.

With such a 'drop in' score, the flexibility in assembling and upgrading Motorola RAZR components is almost nonexistent. A few key comments of iFixit experts on Motorola RAZR are as follows:

Advantages

  1. Screen is replaceable.
  2. Only one screwdriver is needed for the entire removal process.

Defect

  1. The process of assembling and removing the chassis frame is extremely difficult, requiring a lot of meticulousness because the manufacturer uses too much glue.
  2. Replacing the battery requires dismantling almost the entire device.
  3. The charging port is soldered directly to the main board.
  4. Complex structure makes repair work difficult.
  5. The 'modularization' is not high.

iFixit also noted that this was one of the most complex 'abdominal operations' products they had ever faced, and a score of 1/10 correctly assessed this claim. Along with the iPhone 11 Pro Max (score 6), Surface Laptop (5 points) and Galaxy Fold (2 points) . Motorola RAZR is one of the most difficult mobile electronic devices to repair at the present time.

Of course, not everyone has a need to 'scratch', but giving consumers - who have paid to have full control over the product - the ability to intervene more deeply into hardware structure and Especially, being able to fix when the product has a problem is what technology manufacturers should pay more attention to.

Leaving aside the difficulties in repairing, Motorola RAZR is still one of the most unique and experienced smartphones today. With a compact, luxurious design and a 'legendary' clamshell style, Motorola RAZR and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip promise to bring a new breeze to the smartphone world in the near future.
