Google will let you repair the Pixel Fold foldable yourself, but it’s probably not the best idea - here’s what you need to know.
Google just unveiled the Pixel Fold, its first-ever foldable smartphone that should give Samsung a run for the money, at least in the markets where the Pixel handset is available. However, the first round of reviews also brought forward. It turns out the display might break much easier than one would hope, and that’s the nightmare scenario for anyone looking to buy a foldable. That foldable glass screen is the phone’s most exciting component and the most likely to break.
It’s great that companies like Google, Apple, and Samsung have started paying attention to consumers asking for easier repairs. And the right to repair has been a hot topic in recent years. That doesn’t mean every phone owner should repair their device, even if these companies now let you do it. Dismantling a handset requires some amount of patience and skill. The same goes for putting it back together.
Also, allowing home repairs means companies that provide such services will have an easier time getting genuine parts. Rather than repairing your smartphone yourself, you could always find an experienced shop nearby to ensure they get the correct components.That said, repairing a traditional smartphone design should be easier than a foldable one. I said before that I prefer taking a faulty device to an authorized repair shop rather than doing it myself.
The blog confirmed with Google that iFixit would provide replacements for the Pixel Fold’s foldable screen. It’s unclear how much the component will cost, however.
