I have had my ZFold 4 going on 3 years now. The battery is degrading significantly and the factory screen protector is peeling off.

Google has been shitting the bed; lately it is much worse and unlikely to get better.

I'm looking to alternatives; it looks like google pixels are the most recommended (GrapheneOS, Lineage, e/OS); I am not happy about supporting Google, so will not buy new.

I wish there was a real alternative; Jolla and fairphone don't ship to my country, purism is far too US centric.

What to do..

Jolla and fairphone don't ship to my country

Which country? Someone I know well had a Fairphone shipped to a country where it does ship then brought it back home to a country where it doesn't, and it works absolutely fine. Check the supported bands beforehand, but maybe there's somewhere you can ship it to or some service that can forward it to where you live?

Recently I bought a phone that was only released in India via eBay. It worked well. I just needed a <5€ wall plug adapter for the charger.
