These are just examples, I have no opinion on what is the best.

Something like: I like the cameras from the Galaxy s23, the processor from the latest Pixel, the memory from the Razor. I mean whatever. I suppose Iphones could be included, but I figure it’s more locked in than androids, I could be wrong.

Or even replacing a part from one phone with one that’s better, for personal use? Like, even just putting pixel 7 cameras into a pixel 8 phone.

Besides the factory warrenty, and money spent, is it software? Is it having to reconfigure the hardware? Is it just space in general?

If we all have things we don’t like about our phones, why aren’t we able to just make it more to our liking?

    The most modular phone right now, which you can open yourself and replace parts with just a screw driver, is the FairPhone. And even that one, you can scavenge parts from older models of the same brand, because the connectors don’t fit. There’s very little space left inside a modern phone.

      We should have the right to repair our phones. Imagine if you could never upgrade new parts into your desktop because of a corporation
