Note - Do not try this at home if you're not confident.

The Google Nexus 5X is a new addition to the LG’s smartphone family that’s available for $379 (RM 1601.82), although it’s a mid-range handset its tech specs and features are not too shabby either as they include:-

 

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor
  • 2 GB LPDDR3 RAM
  • 32GB internal storage
  • 5.2-inch display (1080 x 1920 resolution)
  • Sony IMX377 12.3 MP rear camera sensor and 5MP front camera
  • 147 x 72.6 x 7.9 mm size
  • features a Nexus Imprint fingerprint reader on the Home button
  • Android 6.0 Marshmallow
  • 2700 mAh battery

 

As you probably might have known by now, the Nexus 5X cover is made of plastic and doesn’t really have that “oohhh ahhh” first impression. But that’s not the point, just in case if your Nexus 5X is malfunctioning a little bit the cover can be taken off easily with the necessary tools. iFixit shows us how it’s done by yourself (watch video below).

Overall, iFixit gives a 7/10 rating on its repairability (in other words, fairly easy to fix it). Although the glass and the display screen are inseparable, the Nexus 5X’s components inside can be replaced independently which is a thumbs up.
