Taken as a second phone, it became the first, amazing reception, spectacular call audio, excellent photos, superlative display, top-of-the-range fluidity of use

      Ecologists? People buy Fairphone for the replaceable battery and for SD card, and for easy bootloader unlock.

            In 2022 only about 0.008% of all the phones sold were fairphone.

            Does that ring any bells to the wannabe ecologists here?

              When will we be able to size it up and compare it to other phones using the size up tool @gsmarena?

If you buy reputable brand you can then fine spare parts for it, including battery and even parts from 3rd part companies. I've replaced battery in my BOSE QC35II headphones and it cost me $10! Other headphones I have are SOUNDPEATS (I don't remember which model) that are 4 years old and still give me solid 6h on battery at 80% volume.

But some others don't want that and they care about such things more than the average person and that's when the Fairphone enters the game. Just choices each individual makes.

Removable, long-lasting battery, 3.5mm jack. It only has a removable, but non-lasting battery, no 3.5mm jack and abysmal speakers. All it can offer is "repairability"...but if i have it, i'll be begging it to die sooner so i can get something decent.

                              Hence, I''ll just buy the Redmi note 10 pro as a more practical option than this.

As a custom rom developer, this phone is at the top of my list.

                                      first impression: it feels a lot chunkier (both weight and thickness) than my 6T which was very sleek phone. Sound quality is way better than in 1+, finger print scanner is faster, although in less convenient place than in 6t in my opinion. Camera is way faster, photos are good enough for me. I had pleasure of helping my relative to start using flip4 and fairphone had no issues with taking QR code from same model phone than I had to spend 20 minutes to get with flip4 (6T screen to new phone which transfers MFA service to that phone).



                                      I don't do anything particularly cpu/gpu demanding with my phone, so Fairphone was almost perfect fit for me. I can deal with it being heavier and thicker, but not having wireless charging might be something that forces me to switch if I have to buy my self a car before support period ends. I really wish they added support for it even if it was just enough to not drain battery when using navigator/calling etc. Extra cables are just safety issue in cars imo.

                                      With official protective case, i feel like finger scanner is bit too deep, but that might be just because I have been used to 6T where scanner is under the screen.

                                      Sound quality improvement from my previous phone was huge plus for me as I always struggled to hear people in non optimal conditions with 6T. I am very happy if they can keep the promise of 8-10 years of security updates despite its issues.

                                        Oh, and one more thing. The speakers are so bad you will probably have to use bluetooth speaker even for notifications outside. Don't believe me? Well, just open the review.
                                        Bluetooth speakers=even more inconvenient disposable crap.
