Bruno, 10 Feb 2024I havent mentioned the word repairability once in my commen... moreUnsure about the camera but the 'non-removable battery' of Samsung s24 is actually quite easy to remove, with just pull tabs. The back cover, while can't be 'removable', is still easy to remove with just some tools, isn't it? A glue-shut device also means more protection from water and dust too.

This, at the end of the day, is still overpriced. But looks like it's the only option for if you want an actual removable battery and extremely modular phone, so yeah.

In this phone you have a removable back cover so easy.

      I am interested in this phone because of the ideology of the company, I don’t care about high end specs and whatever cuz I don’t need it I’m not exactly a power user. I want a sustainable phone with long support, I rather give my money to a company like Fairphone than to the conglomerates. And this phone is something different than all the rest which I like. So definitely going to see it in the shop in a few days very interesting!

          I am considering to buy this phone really I love the ideology of this company there is no such other phone maker that embraces this idea. Interesting device and I am going to my local retail store where they actually have one on display also the have other phones on display but curious about this particular phone and the fee just Wana know more about it.

            ZeroWalker, 06 Feb 2024It´s not about paying premium for environment friendly I do... moreWell, not cheaper but much better value for money. And the repairability of Samsung's phones have increased so they should be cheaper.

            Repairability is just an excuse for Fairphone to overprice their devices, but those dudes would defend it anyway. It should've been 479 USD. Or best, at least a Snapdragon 8 gen 1 performing chipset for 629 USD.

                Hzzif, 22 Jan 2024I'm not a Fairphone fanboy lmao but so many immature c... moreIt´s not about paying premium for environment friendly I don´t give a dang about that. I got the phone because repair ability which is more than I can say about Samsung or Iphone. Oh no the mic broke on my Iphone/Samsung guess I have to buy a new phone for 1300-1500 bucks because repairing the phone costs me half the price on what I paid for it. And Apple they rather don´t repair phones at all they rather you pay 1300-1500 bucks to get the latest model.

                So honestly the sustainability is my least concern. Being able to repair my phone my self and only paying for the part is what I want.

                Also 600 bucks is over priced ? and 1200-1500 bucks for a Samsung S24 or Iphone 15 is allot cheaper ?

                    It also isn't too expensive so I think it's a good option for you charging at 30W it should be faster that your old one.

                              Got this fone 3 weeks ago now I am happy to have a fone with removable battery again after long time and it's gud overall great performance should say the camera is 8/10 can improve some more maybe with soft ware update.

                              Also like they use many recycled mats and other materials those are certified n no use of underpaid labor or child labor n all that stuff so very gud. Only brand in the world that works like this.

                              I had doubts at first to buy but I saw a documentary and read a lot of stuff about this brand gotta say they really stand for the case of better awareness of environment and exploitation of people and nature and all.

                              FF5 got some gud updates over FF4 for me oled panel is massive advantage my last phone had LCD nothing wrong with it but oled is better with black n dark mode on gives better endurance with oled. Also design is better and the transparency of back cover is amazing reminds me of old Nokia 3310 with transparant housing.

                              All with all totally gud phone can recommend it instantly so if you doubt don't doubt just buy and amaze yourself.

                              Cheers all 👍

                                [deleted post]That has nothing to do with my comment. My point is that this phone, even with its update support and repairability, is overpriced. And who would need 8-10 years of support anyway? It's only priced high because it's a tough sell and they need to earn money too.

                                  Hzzif, 25 Jan 2024Totally agree. They shouldn't at least. But it's ... more"Just another company that used environment as an excuse to justify selling their products at a high price. But they at least managed to deliver."

                                  The same could be said for other companies. 100% recycled materials, 100% rare earth magnets, no charger in box (yes, that technically saves the environment, but more for production costs), they still managed to deliver.

                                        Just give no updates because people can install custom ROM anyway, and price it at $479-$549. That'll do it.
