Xiaomi recently launched the POCO F4 for the upper mid-range segment. It is a smartphone for those looking for performance close to a top of the range, but spending below €500.
Now that it has arrived on the market, it has begun to be the target of the most varied tests. The most recent is the PBKReviews channel repair test, where the smartphone is dismantled, in order to demonstrate the ease of fixing its components in the event of a breakdown.
Xiaomi POCO F4 receives 5.5 points out of 10 in the repair test
As you can see in the video below, the POCO F4 does not seem to be a smartphone focused on being very repairable. The device received a modest score of 5.5 out of 10 points, and the criticisms are clear.
Screen switching is one of the most common scenarios when it comes to equipment repair. This one is not impossible to do in POCO F4, but it turns out to be quite difficult to do with ease.
The battery seems to be one of the simplest components to remove. However, it is necessary to remove at least 17 screws to be able to detach it from the equipment. To remove components such as the charging port or SIM card tray, you must first remove the battery.
This will not be a scenario where users stop buying a smartphone because of its low repair score. Also because, generally, users will only change the battery within the lifetime of the equipment. But those who want to access the screen will have a less easy life.
