Motorola Razr Plus teardown reveals unusual internals, UTG glass and possible explanation for durability fail

Now, an "autopsy" for the unit in question calls its repairability into question too.

That would suggest this model's screen has the same deep crease as Samsung's.

It's possible the space is to allow eventual battery expansion as it ages or come under stress. I've seen many times where the battery bulged the screen until it broke.

This shouldn't happen in a year or two, which is the designed lifespan of such a device, unless the battery itself is flawed...
