In 2022 I got my Moto G Play 2021 Android phone at Costco. I didn't know there were a lot of Moto G Play models and later learned it wasn't in the deGoogle-able list (may have been updated since).
Every year my phone's battery swells up needing to be replaced, the screen has finally cracked (likely replaceable too), and its run out of space for texts and apps.
The space issue is a problem. It never had much, yet I have a less-useful 1tb SD card with lots of room that can't run apps.
Or I could spend that repair money on a new phone.
What do you recommend? And why?

3 questions:
What does it cost to purchase the replacement components; screen, battery, spare battery, etc.?
Have you looked into pricing for new-inbox older generations of phones?
Did you watch this video until the very end: https://matrix.gvid.tv/c/Science/BTTRYFd3La ? He goes into detail about how to make batteries, and that might be a good place to start.
Yep. You can make a simple water cell battery for your phone with some duct tape, acrylic, sulfur, roofing lead, graphite, and chlorine salt. Though bath salts are better. A single bag from CVS will give you too much salt so you can smoke the rest.
