Seems Like LG’s modular design continues inside as its components are relatively easy to disassemble as well. Apple’s iPhones are surprisingly easy too which is a plus point as we all know how expensive it gets to have it fixed through service centers after warranty. Also, the Google Pixel which is unofficially available in PH. Samsung’s S7/S7 Edge and now deceased Note 7 gets the lowest scores due to excessive use of adhesives.
