The iFixit guys are back and this time they do it with one of the best Android terminals, the Nexus 6. The terminal that has resulted from the union of Google with what until recently was a company of its property, Motorola obtains a An outstanding score of 7 out of 10 in the repairability tests, although it is not an excellent result, it does improve the majority of current devices, as a general rule, very difficult to treat in the event of a breakdown. Is there a secret hidden in the bowels of the Nexus 6?
After disassembling the Nexus 9 at the beginning of the month, we finally have access to Nexus 6 internal review, a device that breaks with the previously established to position itself as one of the market benchmarks, something that has a direct influence on its price. Current smartphones and tablets carry a generalized line whereby repairs are more complicated, probably because they are getting thinner and thinner and manufacturers have to make bobbins to place all the components. Nexus 6 is 10,06 mm, which leaves more space for everything to be in place and it is relatively easy to access each piece.
22 screws, pro or con?
The first thing that stands out from the analysis of the Nexus 6 after removing the back cover is that it presents a cover secured with nothing more and nothing less than 22 screws. Although the task becomes more tedious than usual, this decision by Motorola allows no glue or clips required that tend to complicate access to the components, in addition, they are all the same, which is undoubtedly appreciated, well done. Once they are retired, the Nexus 6 is divided into two clearly differentiated parts.
Dual real LED flash
One of the most outstanding aesthetic elements of the terminal is its double LED flash in the shape of a circle that surrounds the camera. Unlike other times, this is a true dual LED flash, as they both point in different directions. The 13 megapixel sensor is the Sony Exmor IMX 214, same that uses for example the OnePlus One and has optical image stabilization.
Negative aspects
Not everything is perfect, the three points that go up to 10 have to be lost somewhere. Starting with the battery, it is glued and although it can be changed without too much effort, it is not as accessible as in other terminals. The motherboard, very similar to that of the Moto X, has some break-sensitive components soldered like the vibration motor or speakers, which makes their replacement difficult (it would be easier if they were connected by cable). And finally the screenThe one that is so scary that it will break, has a problem, the digitizer (converts the touch inputs) is fused with the panel, and therefore, the costs in case of needing a repair will increase.
