  • The Pixel 10 series features an upgraded plastic pull tab for easier battery removal than its predecessor.
  • Apple and Samsung’s methods for battery removal are more efficient, showing that Google still has further room for improvement.

The Pixel 10 series is the talk of the town, and there are plenty of upgrades across the board to get people excited. With the Pixel 10 series, Google has also launched the Pixel Care Plus program for $0 battery repairs, though that is an insurance program. If you prefer taking matters into your own hands, you’d be glad to learn that the Pixel 10 series has made battery repairs slightly easier than before, but a lot can still be improved.

The good folks at iFixit took apart the base Pixel 10 to see just how repairable it is. They found that the phone now comes with a new battery pull tab, one that looks very familiar if you’ve ever disassembled a phone before.
