Which phone if you don't mind? I've spent the effort to replace screens & batteries when they go bad or are broken, but frankly when the replacement screen is 50% of the original phone price it just doesn't seem worth it... Although I still want to from an e-waste perspective

I currently have a CAT S52.
Some downsides is that it's pretty heavy and comes with bundle-ware from John Deere (easy enough to uninstall). It's not a fast or pretty phone by any standard, but my phone use is very basic so for me it matters more that it lasts than bells and whistles.
