Final Thoughts
  • The battery is fairly easy to swap out once you remove the back cover.
  • The rear panel is secured by tri-point screws.
  • The headphone jack and charging connector are soldered to the motherboard.
  • The upper display is glued in place and requires prying that can potentially break the display.
