Google starts selling refurbished Pixel phones. They’re up to 40 percent off and come with the same warranty as a brand-new handset.

Thanks, this is great. I didn't know any phone manufacturer sells original batteries online.

Now I'm again considering replacing my s20 with new pixel phone.

Google makes small steps towards repairability with their phone design, e.g. dual entry design (so you don't have to lift off the screen to replace the battery, which could break), seperate daughter board for the usb port (so you don't have to replace the whole motherboard when the usb port breaks, which is a part that is in heavy use), etc. These are baby steps but maybe they will have a user service friendly device ready by 2027 when the EU requires it.

Sadly the glue they used for the pixel 9 seems to be really sticky so the pull tabs break, you can look for teardown videos on youtube.
