Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the Realme C33 is fairly low. The use of adhesive for the back cover and battery as well as the need to disassemble several components to replace the screen make it difficult to repair. Additionally extra plastic covers over the boards and inter board connection cables being part of the screen assembly make it even more difficult. On a scale of 10 the repairability of the Realme C33 would be a 4.
