The Sony Xperia X Compact earns a 6 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):

Modular design allows for replacement of many individual components.

Battery is fairly easy to access and remove, but requires removal of the delicate NFC antenna to replace.

Adhesive used throughout will need to be replaced during reassembly, and may never be as waterproof again.

The fused display assembly is strongly adhered to the midframe and requires disassembling the entire phone to replace.

Manufacturer does not provide user-accessible repair documentation.
