hobbyist sure

most "indian versions"? most samsungs ?

fairphones ?

i think teardown wise one plus phones are tolerable

Hmm. Well, I am aware that the batteries or the rest of internals will die, so I would like to pay some extra bucks and have some spare parts ready to make it run for the next 5 years or so.

display repair on most of them is bitch iirc and some of those use glue ?? cant remember from top of my head

And Xiaomi has a lot of spare parts to offer

So that's why I wish to look them up. Is that even a rational approach anymore?

With those phones being glued so tight

all it needs is some more background research before buying

but its definetly worth it

Brand loyalty is cuck behavior
