Upgrading isn’t repairing, and I said you can repair these devices. My question is what CAN’T you repair, not what can be repaired (which is what I did answer).

What part can’t be repaired? Some parts may be soldered to the board, but the board can be fixed without Googles blessing.
And upgrades were never a part of the original comment, so what does that have to do with my comment?


We are talking about Android, not Apple.
Android phones can be user repaired and repaired by third parties without Googles permission.


Buy a used one then. Google won’t see your money then.
Or wait a little longer. https://piunikaweb.com/2025/11/19/grapheneos-to-release-non-pixel-flagship-phone-in-q4-2026-or-in-2027/
In a revealing discussion with David Bombal, the GrapheneOS team confirmed they are actively working with a “top-tier Android OEM” to bring their hardened operating system to non-Google flagship devices.
No, you tried making the false equivalence of claiming that if it cant be fixed for cheap, then it somehow isnt fixable at all.
So it’s i can’t get a car fixed for less than $100, I guess that means cars aren’t fixable?
