Full Definition & Technical Explanation
Repairability rates how easily a device can be opened and repaired — e.g., Repairability: Average (2.82/5). Glued batteries and proprietary screws lower the score; modular designs (Fairphone) raise it.
See Replaceable: No and Repairability in design specs. It affects long-term ownership and e-waste.
