A big part of it is built in batteries that are difficult to replace. My phone has a removable battery and has is on its third one now… still works fine and does everything I want it to, after 10 years of use.

It’s honorable that you struggle through 2013 Android, but using an internet enabled device that hasn’t received security updates in at least 7 years is a horrible idea.

Upgrade to a Fairphone at least, so you can keep replacing parts while also maintaining a base level of security.

Wish I had heard of fairphone before I bought a pixel. I have to decline Google assistant popups every fucking day

Do you mean a pop up from accidentally summoning Google assistant from holding the home button? I’ve had that issue on a couple Android phones and have had good luck going into settings and disabling it.

No I disabled the assistant. I tend to always do that, because in the past I’ve found them to be nuisances. This is the first phone where I’ll fart and it pops up “want to turn Google Assistant on?”

Pain in the ass.
