Freshly launched around the world, this expensive Google Pixel 6a talk about him again via an unusual initiative. Indeed, the American brand offers all the necessary documentation to easily repair the mobile…
The icing on the cake, it’s a French exclusivity!
Repair has a bright future ahead of it
When a smartphone starts to malfunction, users tend to go for the simplest. Since repair can be expensive and time-consuming, it’s much easier to buy a brand new phone. However, customs are slowly changing. Whether for a question of cost or the environment, many are now turning to reconditioned models or to repair.
And on this side, Google has a little surprise in store for us with its brand new Pixel 6a. As its repairability index indicates (6.5/10), this mobile can be disassembled more easily than many models currently on the market. The Californian company has understood this and provides us with complete documentation to repair the phone without help (or almost).
MacGyver better watch out!
The manual in question contains 188 pages entirely in French. And it is even an exclusivity since this notice is not available in other languages for the moment. Anyway, here we see you an exploded view of the Google Pixel 6a and four separate topics are covered.
- Repair a damaged Pixel phone using genuine parts;
- disassemble and then reassemble the Pixel smartphone;
- removing and replacing parts;
- prolong the service life of the mobile and protect the environment.
Add to this a precise list of official components that will help the user in his repairs. This is the website iFixit who serves here as a supplier for the many parts. The company specializing in the repair of electronic products has actually signed a partnership with Google last month.
In short, you are now free to peel and download the document on the Google site. Similar documentation will also be offered for future Google Pixels.
