Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the Motorola Moto Z4 seems to be quite low. The use of adhesive for the back cover and battery as well as the need to disassemble multiple components to replace the screen and access parts make it difficult for users to repair the device themselves. Additionally the charging port being soldered to the main board adds another level of difficulty for repairs. Overall I would give the device a score of 3.0 out of 10 for repairability.
