  • A quick flick of the spudger and we free the daughterboard.

  • The daughterboard is home to the micro-USB port, several spring contacts for the speakers, a hidden unidentified antenna socket, and a microphone (located on the underside.)

  • Turning our attention back to the front panel, we pull off the standard 3.5 mm headphone jack, which also houses the dual ambient light sensors.

  • Nexus 4 Repairability Score: 7 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair).

    • Removing the back cover requires nothing more than a common screwdriver, a plastic opening tool, and some patience.

    • The entire device only contains four different length screws—all common screw types—for a total of only 15 screws.

    • Once the back cover and inner frame are removed, pressure contacts make all of the inner components a breeze to replace.

    • The battery is stuck to the frame with a lot of adhesive, so removing it without puncturing the battery can be difficult.

    • The glass is fused to both the display and the display frame. So don't crack the glass unless you're good with a heat gun, or you're fond of replacing the glass, display, and frame together ($$$).
