Do you have custom ROM + no gapps? Gets harder and harder if you want a new phone once in a while.

    Bought the Fairphone with e/OS.

    Problem is many see Android equivalent with Samsung and Samsung is the worst when it comes to customize your HW because they really lock down their shit.

    For my phone I just bought a new battery after many years of use and it's back to working as if it's new. Before that I had a Shift phone (with Google, I think) which allowed me to replace the camera module once the autofocus in the camera broke.

    Not sure if I'm old fashioned, but I like to own my devices and modify them if I please.
