Ive had mutltiple pixels starting with I think the 4a? I’ve personally only broken 1 screen but it was actually super simple to replace though expensive as shit imo. My daughter is 7 and I generally give her my old phone to use as hers until she manages to break it and she has shattered the screen on them all except her latest Pixel 5 that I actually bought her for christmas. Generally the way she breaks them is by actively trying. She has been nonverbal until the last year or so and struggled a lot with that. She actually threw one of them across the back yard a few times before it managed to finally shatter the screen. She didn’t have her “own” phone for like a year+ after that.

One of the reason I got a pixel is that you can get OEM repair parts (including adhesive!) staright from ifixit, no IMEI needed (such technology is simply out of reach for the like of apple):

You can get all the genuine part even for pixel 3, which is 5 years old and no longer supported (newer pixel phone is supported for at least 5 years, older phone are not supported because qualcomm no longer supports the SOC IIRC). You can get third party part from ifixit even for original pixel, and that is pretty incredible.

Disclaimer: This obviously is NOT a endorsement of pixel’s repairability. display and battery are very much glued on the phone and way harder to open compare to the like of fairphone. You should watch some repair videos first before deciding if you want to repair this thing by yourself. I am just glad parts are readily avaliable, gives individual and especially repair shops a easier time of repair.

I have a ~4 year old Pixel 3a, it’s got a case but no screen protector. I drop it all the time, but it’s pretty much totally fine still, at least physically. Definitely running a bit sluggish these days, but otherwise perfect. Maybe I’m just lucky? Or maybe they’ve gotten worse since?
