	[title] Final Thoughts
	[* black] The Google Pixel 3 XL earns a *4 out of 10* on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):
	[* green] The only screws are standard T3 Torx fasteners.
	[* green] Repair-friendly stretch-release adhesive secures the battery.
-	[* ~~yellow~~] O-rings and adhesives for waterproofing complicate repairs, but make difficult liquid damage repairs less likely.
-	[* ~~red~~] Display repairs are much more difficult than previous models, requiring complete disassembly of the phone.
-	[* ~~red~~] To service any component, you'll have to painstakingly un-glue (and later re-glue) the glass rear panel.
-	[* ~~red~~] Front and back glass means increased vulnerability to drop damage.
