It's funny how people simply don't understand that this isn't supposed to be a cost-effective phone hardware-wise, they're all about making it only out of "fair materials" (Whatever the fuck that means), make it fully repairable, and support it for a long long time.
Those three are "features" that no other phone can offer.
Combine these three costly "features" with the fact that it's a niche product (I.e. it can't achieve economies of scale), and one has to wonder just how they're only selling it for $700. Actually, I have no clue as to just how this company has lasted this long.
There must be a LOT of people that are happy to pay triple to not pollute our environment, to not support mineral warlords who use child labour, etc...

This is a phone that in time can be repaired if something breaks, not just change the phone. And all the costs to make a product like this in Europe, is not the same like making it in China. There are lots of reasons for that price, which is high for most, but for small group of people who like this, is reasonable.

Even Xperia 5v is a better buy than this, only cost €150 more but much better chipset, camera and headphone jack. Why would you pay €700 for 778g performance?

Shocksquash, 03 Sep 2023700 euros really? 💀 700 Euro's is definitely expensive, but to be fair you can use this phone at least 8 years, 5 major android upgrades, 8-10 year security updates. 5 year warranty.
That's like 5x as much warrenty as most companies (outside of goverment mandated warrenty times)
Like 2x as many android upgrades as a lot of phones
2-3x as many security updates
So when I thought about that I do find it worth the price, still on the expensive side, sadly a lot of phones are

A friend of mine has an S20 since 2021, it has already been burned in. But it's not because of the technology, it's how people handle their phones. A lot of people that have burned in phones are people that keep their screens on maximum 100% brightness almost everywhere, they often leave their screen on for long times, no auto sleep or turn of the screen when they don't use it. Often don't care about static content, leave apps (like tiktok or Instagram) open for hours.
You don't get OLED burn ins if you are only a tiny bit careful with your phone / screen
