I'm really disappointed with my pixel phone. The camera is partially stuffed up (seems to be a misaligned lens causing the image to be blurry) The battery life is really poor, and the usb port is loose.

These are all things I would be fine replacing myself but it seems that everyone who has tried this ends up cracking the display since the phone is glued together. Google also does not sell replacement cameras so you have to find one second hand which isn't easy or cheap.

I will never buy another google phone but I'm not really sure what my options are.

The libre purism BRICK if you don’t mind opening a shell randomly to do things throughout the day
For the price of that phone I could buy 50 second hand android phones that would work much better. I also haven't seen any evidence that purism will be selling replacement parts or that parts will be available in 3+ years when they are needed.
