As the title says, the mainboard of my phone broke and repairing it would cost more than a new one. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'd like to be able to change the battery, if possible. Thanks for any help in advance.

    Thanks for your amazing answer, first of all. I have an ancient sim with a good contract that has now survived 3 phones that I will keep and I need the other slot because I cross borders often for personal reasons, I should look into e-sims.

    Cop security did not really factor into my choice, since I already fucked up if my phone is with me when I expect to get into trouble with them.

    The point with the headphone jack is great, and considering how often I accidentially ripped them off, I could consider getting a dongle even with jack. It's worth some thought.

    I deally I would grow old with my new phone and have it buried with me, but since that will never happen I will have to hope that by the time of it's final death replacable batteries have advanced enough for your advice to no longer apply.
