Echoing similar announcements from competitors like Samsung and Apple, Pixel phone owners will be able to buy parts to make common repairs, such as swapping out a battery or display. > These announcements follow widespread calls for right-to-repair reforms, which would provide owners and independent repairers with all the materials they need to fix modern devices. If devices are repairable and their lifetimes are extended, e-waste will go down.
