While the majority of Google Pixel Fold users are likely to directly approach Google for repair and service, tech-savvy owners will almost certainly go the DIY route should they encounter issues with their Pixel Fold. The Google spokesperson has confirmed that the Pixel Fold will receive the same degree of DIY support from iFixit as the current crop of DIY-ready Pixel devices. This also means that the Pixel Fold owners will not only have access to detailed step-by-step repair guides but will also have the option to purchase individual spare parts for the phone.
Google currently lists a wide variety of spares for its existing Pixel devices on iFixit, including replacement displays, batteries, adhesives, and even camera modules. In the case of the Pixel Fold, the Google spokesperson went on to add that even the delicate inner folding display of the device will be user replaceable.
There is no denying that the combination of authentic OEM parts and iFixit’s extensive repair resources will make life easier for anyone looking at DIY repairs for the Pixel Fold. However, it would be interesting to see how many people actually take up this challenge. With some Pixel Fold reviews already reporting durability issues with its foldable display, we may see a lot of people actually perform DIY repairs on the device once the parts and guides become officially available on iFixit’s Google phone parts page.
