Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the Motorola Moto Z2 Play seems to be quite low. The fact that several components need to be disassembled to access the battery and the use of adhesive for the battery are major obstacles for repair. Additionally the delicate process of removing the screen and the soldered charging port also make repairs difficult. However the presence of pull tabs for battery removal is a positive aspect. Overall I would give the repairability of the device a score of 2.5 out of 10.
