Eventually, when your phones gives out,.consider a pre-rooted Fairphone.

5 year warranty, decade long software support, and everything is easily user replaceable including the battery.

The steps are in this order. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Keep your own phone for now to reduce

I looked at this today. Aside from the initial investment this seems to be amazing.

Makes me with I cared more about my privacy to take advantage of the options.

And that I had the motivation to learn more phone based programming...

I've book marked it for future investment

Wow! That sounds right up my alley.

I found out the last time I bricked my phone that the number of people willing to help me had gone from 'help in minutes - live help' to 'answers via a forum - hours and days response time' and that's why my phone hasn't changed anything major in 8 months. I'm too afraid to mess anything up.
