Step 8

The Vivo X7 Plus earns a 7 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):
Battery is fairly easily accessible and removable.
Parts could be more modular, especially mechanical/high wear components.
The opening procedure is very tough, but easier than on the smaller model.
The single unit display assembly is annoying to reach, and will be a costly part.
Manufacturer does not provide user-accessible repair documentation.
