在我们拆除5X之前，让我们来看看它的配置信息：

1.8 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 808六核64位处理器，配备Adreno 418 GPU和Android Sensor Hub

带有激光辅助自动对焦的12.3MP / 4K后置摄像头以及5MP前置摄像头

2 GB LPDDR3 RAM，内置16 GB或32 GB内存

5.2“全高清1920×1080 IPS液晶屏，423 ppi

USB Type-C端口，支持快速充电

Nexus Imprint 指纹识别传感器

Android 6.0 棉花糖

太棒了，Scott! 谷歌最新的Nexus提供了一个USB-C充电端口，就在耳机插口旁边。

USB-C端口提供的增加的充电速度（5V / 3A）并不令人失望。

RGB LED 提醒指示藏在底部扬声器网罩的下面，看起来很甜美的3 x 3的提醒框。但不好的是它不能移动......

Nexus 5X的后部配备全新的Nexus Imprint指纹识别器，12.3 MP相机，双闪光灯和激光测距仪。

Just like its older sibling, the 5X uses clips to secure the rear case to the rest of the phone.

LG seems to have gotten the message about our feelings on adhesive.

Adhesive? Where we're going, we don't need adhesive.

That wasn't so bad! Things are looking up for the 5X as we get our first glimpse at the interior of the phone.

Luckily, this sticker on the inside of the back panel has all the essentials: IMEI, country of origin, and the model number: LG-H790.

Our spirits soared as we spied the 2700 mAh battery sitting in plain view—a removable battery is hard to come by these days.

But alas, it was not to be. The battery connector is squirreled away beneath the midframe, and it's totally inaccessible for now.

Our 64 Bit Driver Kit makes short work of the 10 Phillips screws holding the midframe captive.

The midframe comes piecefully (two pieces to be exact):

The lower half contains a few antennas and the phone's front-facing speaker.

The upper half contains the Nexus Imprint fingerprint reader.

Piggybacking on the midframe, we find the Touch ID Nexus Imprint fingerprint reader.

Flipping the Imprint over reveals an unidentified control chip and our favorite, spring contacts! These connectors are much more durable than traditional connectors that snap into place, and they're much easier to work with during repairs. Win win!

Some light adhesive secures the battery, but it's nothing that a little spudgering can't handle.

The 5X packs a 3.8 V, 2700 mAh battery—a 400 mAh increase over the Nexus 5.

Although the 5X doesn't officially support Quick Charge 2.0, Google claims that USB-C will provide "four hours of use after only ten minutes of charging."

Where are we? When are we?

We're almost to the motherboard, but we stop to get a better look at the rear-facing camera.

The 5X's rear camera is packing a Sony IMX377 12.3 MP sensor, that sits behind a ƒ/2.0 lens—a feature common to both the 5X and the 6P.

Unlike previous generations, this new camera doesn't include Optical Image Stabilization.

The Nexus team claims this is no longer necessary, thanks to the increase in pixel size (from 1.4 μm to 1.55 μm).

The 5 MP front-facing camera is the last component preventing us from relieving this phone of its motherboard.

Off comes the motherboard, leaving behind the screen and I/O ports... Well, all except the USB-C port. This doesn't look good.

Similar to the LG G4, the USB-C port is soldered to the motherboard—not an easily replaced daughterboard. Unless you know how to microsolder, you'll need to replace the motherboard when the port fails.

Much to our disappointment, the motherboard isn't powered by a Mr. Fusion:

The 5X revives an old favorite of ours—the spring contact headphone jack.

We also take a moment to admire that nifty notification LED and its simple gold contacts. Shiny.

Nexus 5X Repairability Score: 7 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair).

Many components are modular and can be replaced independently.

Standard Phillips screws means a driver is easy to find.

The battery isn't immediately user accessible but isn't too challenging, or too adhered, to replace.

Fused display assembly—glass and LCD will need to be replaced together if one or the other breaks.
