Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the Google Pixel 8 Pro seems to be quite low. The fact that several components need to be disassembled to access the battery and the use of strong adhesive for the battery make it difficult for users to replace it themselves. Additionally the delicate process of removing the screen and the soldered charging port also add to the difficulty of repairing the device. Overall I would give the repairability of the Google Pixel 8 Pro a score of 4.0 out of 10.
