I replaced screens 2x Moto G1, 4x BQ Aquaris X and 2x Pixel 1, also batteries 3x BQ Aquaris X, 1x Nexus 5x and 1x Pixel 1 and speaker on Moto G1. It all was not all that difficult, so that's why I bought my Pixel 1 used with broken screen. All parts coming from Aliexpress and last screen came surprisingly quickly (within 2 weeks).
Though this new batch of tinker friendly devices like Fairphone or Pinephone is something I track with interest. Main issue with phones getting obsolete is not hardware though as it is software. That keeps me hopeful especially regarding Pinephone, but Fairphone keeps updates significantly longer than run of the mill Android phones.
They are all too big for my taste, but that's a different subject altogether. I would like to see something in Unihertz Jelly 2 format. But for now I will stick to beat down phones.
