What you need
Video Overview
- The battery can be removed first, once you open the phone. It’s only lightly adhered and comes with a pull tab for easy removal.
- Many components are modular and can be individually replaced.
- Display replacements, which are the most common repairs, are not prioritized in the design. (You have to completely disassemble the phone to swap out your screen.)
- While the Front Facing Camera’s new pop up ability is really cool, the added mechanical element makes it more likely to wear out and more complicated to replace.
- The primary access point for all repairs, the rear panel, is firmly glued in place.

Slider? Do you mean the pop up camera? If so, removing it is major surgery, cannot be done from the outside.
