I feel like I still want a phone that is repairable but also upgradeable. Slowly being able to swap in a better screen, better camera, and a new mainboard when it's time to upgrade.
The Google Ara was supposed to be exactly this. I think it has since been abandoned. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Ara#:~:text=Google%20planned%20to%20launch%20a,planned%20consumer%20launch%20in%202017.
Yes I'm very disappointed the the FP4 looks almost the same as the FP4 but isn't backwards compatible in the slightest... I was looking forward to upgrade my screen.
I think the Pinephone/Pinephone Pro has this functionality.
It's still very much a developer's device, though. It isn't ready for widespread use.
