Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 seems to be quite low. The use of adhesive for the back cover and battery makes it difficult to access and replace these components. The delicate process of removing the screen and the need to remove the top single screen to access internals on one side also adds to the difficulty of repair. Additionally the potential difficulty and expense of replacing the foldable screen further lowers the repairability score. Overall I would give the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 a score of 4.5 out of 10 for repairability.
