    I use my phones until they start crashing due to battery issues.

    Tends to be about 6 years for that to happen, at least with the mid range phones I tend to buy.

    My Nexus 4 did not survive an intense summer of Pokemon Go, and my Huawei Honor whatever number it was eventually would die just from opening the camera. I’d get the batteries replaced, but by the time they die I’m feeling the age of them even more than in my knees.

      I think you can change some batteries. Managed to change a pixel’s battery by myself using a hair drier.

        Me and my family just changed like 3 phone batteries for fucking change. Local shop charges 50RON (Ro) (10 EUR) per battery change WITH LABOR. New batteries installed. All reporting 101% in Accubattery, from 60-70% before. Can you guys not get cheap battery replacements?
