HMD’s Skyline closed 2024 on an impressive note. It won the title of ‘Most Easily Repairable Smartphone of the Year’ at the endurance awards organized by popular tech YouTuber JerryRigEverything. Devices such as the Asus ROG Phone 8 and Huawei Mate XT were also on the list, but they didn’t have much positive to say about them. Details in our news…
HMD Skyline named the most easily repaired phone of 2024
HMD Skyline has surpassed its competitors in terms of easy repairability. The owner can access the internal parts of the phone with just a screwdriver, and this does not void the warranty. This feature sets it apart from models like the Pixel 9 series. While spare parts for the Pixel 9 are provided in partnership with iFixit, opening the device requires more time and additional equipment such as a heat gun. So, what are the other standout models?
Shiftdelete.net- Asus ROG Phone 8: Failed the JerryRigEverything durability tests, earning the title of “Least Durable Phone of 2024”.
- Huawei Mate XT: While the tri-fold screen design is notable, this innovative design is said to be a significant drawback in terms of durability.
- RedMagic 10 Pro: Named the “Most Innovative Phone of 2024” for its RGB-cooled structure and its screen design without perforations.
The “Most Durable Phone” of the year award went to the Ulefone Armor 24 model with its huge 22,000 mAh battery and robust design. This device is described as a “brick or wedge” with its durability. In short, we can say that 2024 witnessed both innovative and controversial features in the smartphone industry.
