Good news has been known that has as its protagonist the new Google model Nexus 5X, which is manufactured by LG and which is situated in a market segment that is above the “pure” mid-range and one notch behind the most powerful. The fact is that this model offers a fairly high simplicity when it comes to being repaired, which is always positive.

In this way, this model, which is quite attractive to many, earns additional “points” since in the event of problems, the times that will be taken in the technical service will not be very high (and it is to be understood that the costs will not either) and, in addition, the most daring can try to solve what happens to them. And it is that everything adds up when evaluating the purchase of a mobile terminal, and in the case of Nexus 5X The aforementioned is added to the fact that this model arrives with Android Marshmallow (and with rapid updates as it depends on the matrix of this development) and, As for the price, this is not exactly high since in the US you can buy for $ 379.

The reason for the simplicity that we discuss is the great modularity with which the Nexus 5X is assembled, which allows and performing relatively simple steps in a structured way and, thus, being able to access all the components that make up the smartphone. The fact is that the score obtained by this Google model in iFixit (which has already disassembled a large number of devices) is 7 10 on, which is not bad in the case of a next-generation mobile terminal.

Manual shift

Knowing the complete sequence that must be carried out to completely disassemble the phone, it is verified that many of the elements can be replaced independently, although there are details that must be known, such as the screen and protective glass they are fused, so in this case you have to change both at the same time.

The internal structure of the Nexus 5X It is quite clear and easy to handle, as demonstrated by both the good place that the device's rear camera occupies and even the fingerprint reader, both of which are easy to access and manipulate. By the way, that this last component takes up a bit more space than you might expect, so there is a little potential charge left to the battery.

The point is that the Nexus 5X it is shown that it is not very complicated to repair, which is positive, and also offers great speed when updating the software that it includes inside. An example of what we say is the operating system and, also, the Mountain View company's own applications, which is demonstrated by the recent improvement of the Google application, which has received a new iteration that occupies 42 MB.
