Repairing Pixel devices themselves will be possible in the future, even with very specialized devices.
Some time ago, Google announced a close collaboration with iFixit and at least partially implemented it well. Anyone who owns a Pixel phone and owns a damaged one can rely on a DIY repair as Google offers packages tailored to iFixit.
But this venture had problems as not every Pixel gadget has these packages So far, you’ve looked in vain for DIY packages for the Pixel Watch There is said to be a general lack of individual spare parts, so that even Google cannot repair, but replace devices, but only under warranty.
DIY repairs return with the Pixel Fold
Why the DIY repair program doesn’t work for the Pixel Watch remains a mystery. But it’s now clear that this is likely an exception, because of the new Pixel Fold it should Again offer a good repair. Google has officially confirmed the matter.
So far it’s the only foldable for which a manufacturer offers this, so customers can replace faulty hardware themselves. Google definitely wants to be able to offer important components like the camera and the screen. Even the foldable display should be replaceable by the customer.
As of now, though, even the Pixel Fold isn’t really available. It will definitely be a few months before DIY kits are available from iFixit.
