I sympathize with you. I killed my phone's screen while attempting to replace the battery (poured too much solvent to unglue the battery, which melted or dissolved something under the screen). It's a shame, because the battery replacement was a success, i could use it by connecting a screen. Since then, repairability is a must for me.
I've been using a Shiftphone 8 (after upgrading from a Shiftmq 6) with the degoogled ShiftOS-L. It does the job. The removable battery is really nice since I can carry around a spare battery and quickly swap if needed. However, it is made by a small company, so updates are quite sparse. I'd like to switch to iodéOS once it gets out of beta.
