Google has partnered with iFixit to sell genuine replacement parts and repair kits for the Pixel Fold, so that you can fix your $1,800 foldable phone at home.
Google is doing what no other foldable smartphone maker has done before. The company has tapped iFixit to sell genuine repair parts for the Google Pixel Fold, with all the official repair guides in tow. It’s a great move, but the situation with foldables makes it a risky ambition, too.
Recommended Videos Google will sell replacement parts to replace the batteries, charging parts, and — most importantly — the screen on its first foldable phone. Google says it will sell display assembly for both the outer cover screen as well as the inner foldable panel. Digital Trends has reached out to Google for more details about its Pixel Fold DIY repair program in partnership with iFixit. This story will be updated as soon as we hear back.
I have personally broken two foldable phones — the foldable screen in one case and the hinge on the other unit — within just a year’s worth of usage. Both the phones were kept in a protective TPU case from day one, and I didn’t flip them open or shut them like any cool dude.
