Essential mobile phone is not easy to repair considering its compact design which makes it harder to extract its part.

Although there are some friendly repair options, for instance, standard Phillips/JIS fasteners and battery, which is adhesive.

One of the main issues besides opening a rock hard mobile body was USB-C port couldn’t be soldered into motherboard.

So for removing the charging or the accessory port, replace the board and such procedure is expensive.

Complex high end Essential phone design makes even the minor repairs hard. But then again, Essential is selling the warranty along for this rock hard designed body of a mobile phone.
