Well said, I've rebuilt my nexus 5 (3 times)
It was once driven over by a car and I swapped the innards.
The motherboard died and I swapped that out.
Then I replaced the battery. I've a backup nexus 5 and spare battery waiting. I want to get my money's worth. Upgrading every 2/3 yrs is nuts with how much these cost. I'm pushing for every 6 yrs unless a device truly revolutionary is released. No such device has been released.

- detritus 9y agoOne of my mini projects for this bank holiday weekend is to replace the heavily-cracked screen and the battery of my Nexus 5. I bought the replacement components before realising that I'd have to go 'through the back' to replace the screen - I'm assuming that's going to add on at least an hour to the task! I'm only replacing the screen now as the digitizer suddenly stopped working the other week - I'd been 'happy' to tolerate its [again, heavily] cracked screen for a good 4 years already! - ed I'm back using an old Nokia soapbar phone in the meantime. If it weren't for the lousy camera and mp3 as well as a lack of practical email and the tedious text-inputting, I'm not really missing much else from my 'smart'phone.
