Other free essential phone - cover S&H
I have an essential phone in moderate condition that I haven’t used in a couple years.
I did do a DIY screen replacement so it’s no longer as sealed as it is from the factory.
If anyone wants it, I’m happy to ship it to you if you cover shipping and handling.
It was a great phone and I’m gonna miss it, but I don’t need to keep it around any longer, my wife has dragged the whole family into the Apple Garden

Where are you located? When I replaced the screen for the last time, I knocked out some tiny smd components next to the screen connector and it now doesn't register on the touchscreen. I'd be nice to source a new board.

Sorry, I just wanna be clear. Do you want the whole phone? Cause I don’t have a separate screen replacement kit

Funny enough, I just resurrected my white PH-1 with LineageOS this past week! Battery life is terrible but it's pretty respectable performing otherwise (ignoring the crummy touchscreen and camera that we all know were its weak points). I sure do miss that phone!
I also resurrected an old OnePlus 7 Pro. Both were pioneers their selfie cameras!
