    • There are no proprietary screws.

    • The OnePlus 5’s display is held on by easy to dispatch reusable plastic clips.

    • Most components such as the cameras and USBC/headphone jack flex cable are modular and easy to access.

    • The battery has a pull tab making removal easy, but the motherboard must be removed to access it.

    • The display and glass are fused and the home button is integrated into the display assembly making repair of all three of these parts more complicated and expensive.

Wow!! it is good, thank you.

Kaye -

Wonderful video as usual. If one were to take theirs apart would it be as 'tight' once it was back together?

I think the buttons edges are a little sharp and I'm tempted to take it apart to put a little bevel on them.

I'd like it if the screen didn't end up being loose or have gaps around the back cover.

David Sepúlveda -

Link for screen please? My screen is broken and I need one but can't find the screen for OnePlus 5 in iFixit store!

I appreciate the video, but I like ifixit for the manual-like write-ups. If I am ever unfortunate enough to have to tear mine down, I will make one.

Zack Westlie -

Is there a +5V point on the board that is equivalent to the +5V from the charging port? Asking to decide whether or not we can solder a qi wireless coil in.

Is the 5T equally easy to repair? Or harder?

Suchiththa Wickremesooriya -

Is there a major difference between the 5 and the 5T?

Suchiththa Wickremesooriya -

Is the OnePlus 5T much different from the OnePlus 5?

THX1138 -

This video really sucks. It’s cut way to fast, you just don’t see anywhere how disassembly is done. Instead the talk is just advertising the phone.

JPT -

The ‘Final Thoughts’ above has this:

The display and glass are fused and the home button is integrated into the display assembly making repair of all three of these parts more complicated and expensive.

I’ve just changed my home button/fingerprint sensor (thanks ifixit!) and it just presses out with just a bit of careful pressure on each side. It’s not integrated.

BTW, none of the repair guides mentioned that you need to put double sided tape or other suitable adhesive on the back of the replacement button before pressing it into place.
