It has been uploaded to YouTube, where a teardown video of the Motorola Edge 20 Pro can be seen, highlighting the difficulties in repairing the recently launched smartphone. Aside from that, the video demonstrates how difficult it is to replace the Motorola Edge 20 Pro's battery. To make it even more difficult to replace the screen on the smartphone, all of the components would have to be removed first. Motorola Edge 20 Pro was released in the United States on July 30 and features a 4,500mAh battery, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC, and 12GB of RAM.
According to the seven-minute teardown video posted by PBKreviews, the Motorola Edge 20 Pro has received a repairability score of 4.5 out of 10 for its repairability. The video begins with the removal of the back panel of the Motorola smartphone, which is accomplished with the help of heat and a pry pick. When it comes to replacing the battery on the Motorola Edge 20 Pro, the video demonstrates that it is a difficult task because many of the smartphone's components would need to be pryed open. It can be a little dangerous to remove the battery because there is no pull tab; the adhesive is quite strong and requires the use of isopropyl alcohol to be removed successfully.

Additionally, there are a number of graphene sheets, the primary function of which is to aid in the transfer of heat. Using the graphene sheets as a guide, separate the battery cable from the motherboard. There are other cables that need to be disconnected in order to lift the motherboard out of the body. Once the motherboard has been removed, the speaker assembly must also be removed in order to gain access to the battery's compartment.
Interesting, the Motorola smartphone is advertised as having a 4,500mAh battery, but the battery that was removed from the phone had a typical battery capacity of 4,520mAh, which is lower than the 4,500mAh claimed by Motorola.
The Motorola Edge 20 Pro's teardown video demonstrates that in order to remove the screen, the backplate, as well as the screws for the top cover, the top cover itself, as well as the battery and screen cables, must be removed. Finally, in order to remove the adhesive from the screen's front surface, it would be necessary to heat it. Particularly noteworthy is that the power button and volume rockers are routed between the frame and the screen, which means that the entire phone would have to be disassembled in order to replace these buttons.
