If you have a Google Pixel 7 or Google Pixel 7 Pro, you can now access the repair manual. It details several relatively complex operations that it is not recommended that you do yourself if you are not used to them.
Since Wiko was bought by a Chinese company, it has become difficult for France to obtain “world firsts”. It is normal, no matter how proud the “Frenchified” are, we are rarely a priority for the big technological brands.

At the beginning of the manual, a long message warns you:
It is not recommended to repair the device yourself unless you are an adult and have the technical skills to safely repair electronic devices. If you decide to carry out a repair yourself, you assume the risks involved.

This ranges from the simple listing of the necessary equipment to the various and varied manipulations. You can learn how to change the screen, the case, the motherboard, the microphone stands, the battery, the cameras, the graphite used for cooling, etc.

I’m not sure this will reassure buyers whose rear glass on the photo unit has cracked. From what we have seen in these documents, no method is proposed to change this element.
