The Sony Xperia XZ1 shows moderate repairability with a few convenient aspects but several challenges. The battery and its cable are easy to access once inside which simplifies replacement. However the repair process involves delicate steps such as removing the screen first increasing the risk of damage. The use of adhesive on the back cover and the presence of metal plates over cable connectors further complicate disassembly making overall repairs more labor-intensive and less beginner-friendly.
