HTC One: Your smartphone is impossible to repair

One is the HTC Android smartphone more enjoyable to watch at all. This privilege, however, you pay heavily, at least as evidenced by recent statements of iFixit. The new flagship of HTC is the first smartphone to total as close to 1/10 with regard to the simplicity of the repairs.

If you are going to get a HTC One, you'd better protect it to the best of your ability. The popular site iFixit gave the vote of 1/10 with regard to the ease of the hypothetical repairs, consequential damages are not covered by warranty.

HTC One is a terminal aesthetically beautiful, with the best materials available on the square with a unibody aluminum case. Faced with particularly pleasing aesthetics however, the internal components have been installed with confusion. Moreover, it seems to be very difficult to disassemble the device without causing irreparable damage to the back case.

The most obvious problem is the fact that if you need to replace the display (whichever is more prone to break after a fall) you will need to remove the back case. In practice it is impossible for an inexperienced staff can perform the operation in its entirety without cause even more damage irreparable.

HTC has then used a kind of copper plate to better dissipate the heat produced by the internal electronic components. This seems extremely difficult to reinsert the device during reassembly, to the folds that are formed inevitably.

In short, if you are used to repair your device with your hands to save some money, HTC One is not for you. IPhone 5 in the past has been considered as one of the most difficult to repair in absolute scoring, however, a score of 7/10, well above the rating of 1/10 for the proposal of HTC.
