That's why I buy phones which are repairable and don't shatter when you sneeze too violently.

Any recommendations? I'm not in the market for a new phone, I'm just into repairable tech.

Unfortunately only really two brands that I'm aware of, and they're both not cheap:

I had a Fairphone 3 before, now in use by my mum, and I'm currently on a SHIFT6mq.

It's possible that there's cheaper repairable phones, and at the very least there are cheap robust phones, but the reason why I personally only consider these two viable, is good Custom ROM support.
While there's no guarantee, you usually get security updates for much longer with Custom ROMs, which you do want, if you plan on using that phone for a while.
