The Google Nexus 5 offers moderate repairability. While key components such as the battery and screen are relatively easy to access and can be removed without extensive disassembly the use of adhesive on both the back cover and the battery complicates the process. Additionally plastic covers must be removed to reach certain cables adding extra steps to repairs. Overall the device allows straightforward replacement of major parts but is hindered by the adhesive and internal covers that slow down disassembly.
