To be fair, I'm not far from this. What is your current phone, are you happy with it?

FairPhone 4 running CalyxOS. It's not cheap but the repairability factor is important for me, it runs a deGoogled OS which is even more important, and I stocked up on spare parts to make it last as long as possible.

As long as it serves me, it's the most exciting phone I can think of and I already own it :)

Thanks! I'm actually thinking about getting a Fairphone and a dedicated point and shoot compact camera to take pictures. Camera seems to be the main marketing factor nowadays, so cutting that would allow me to use older devices without missing out.
