As the second foldable smartphone of Huawei after the original Mate X introduced last year, Mate Xs hosts many more superior features such as 8-inch foldable FullView display, Kirin 990 5G chipset, 8GB RAM and 4,500 mAh battery. The foldable phone industry, where big companies such as Samsung and Motorola as well as Huawei have appeared, is not yet known whether the future of mobile devices or short-term enthusiasm, but there is something known that repairing these devices is a nightmare. As a matter of fact, iFixit’s latest video, which is a company that specializes in smartphone repair, lifts the cover of Huawei Mate Xs, makes a great contribution to this view. iFixit engineers rated Huawei Mate XS ‘repairability 2 out of 10 iFixit engineers take apart and analyze all devices and score them from 0 to 10 based on their reparability. “10 points” are given to the easiest to repair devices, while “1 point” is given to the hardest to repair devices. The device with the highest score is easy to disassemble, making repairs relatively cheap. The points drop depending on the difficulty of opening the device, the types of fittings inside the device, and how complex it is to replace essential components. Huawei Mate Xs, examined in the context of all these variables, got only 2 points out of 10. One of the biggest problems of Huawei Mate XS is its battery, which is adhered very tightly to the body One of the most important problems with the device was the 4,500 mAh battery, which was firmly glued and difficult to remove from the phone. On the other hand, iFixit engineers stated that the approach adopted in screen assembly of Mate Xs is slightly better than Samsung’s foldable phones Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Z Flip. Galaxy Z Flip, which met the users last February and could stand up differently from its predecessor, received 2 points on the scale of repairability such as Mate Xs. Moto RAZR, which attracted a lot of attention with its design, remained at 1 point. You can reach the details of Huawei Mate Xs from our news here. Video of Huawei Mate XS disassembled
