    [deleted post]Nice joke. I appreciate that.

    The true competitor with similar quality of Fairphone is the entry level Galaxy A14. Even Galaxy A14 is better than fairphone, because of premium samsung brand image.

    Nobody buy fairphone these days, maybe except 1 or 2 employees or fairphone.

          Zuln, 31 Jan 2024A Nokia 3310 would have score 25 if S24 have 9 out of 10Yes, only in 2005.

          Today's repairability score of Nokia 3310 would be 1/10 because the number of available spareparts is close to zero.

            [deleted post]It's not GSMArena who made that rating, it's Ok review, they just post news.

              To get into the phone, the back plate can be pried off after applying heat. The camera lens covers can be replaced individually. The battery can be removed easily with a pull tab.

              So you don't need technician

                This does not change the fact that the main camera suffers from blurred images, just like the S22, S23 BANANA/GATE/BLURR 🍌
                It's a shame that a €1000+ phone can't take a sharp close-up photo of the text...
                The Sony sensor has no problem with that..

                  9/10 repairability for a glued up device that common folks still have to send to some technician to just have the battery replaced & pay for services?

                    zennk, 31 Jan 2024is it made in korea ??On my S24U box it's written Vietnam 👍🏻

                      [deleted post]Be careful your post will disappear

                        Fantastic score, I guess the S24+ will be around the same.

                            Anonymous, 31 Jan 2024Maximum points for battery replacement should be given when... moreThe Active and Xcover line exist. With our current tech nowadays, they can make a better version of their removable back covers and way better water resistance.
                            But that would result in less sales or service costs. Imagine users opening their phones at home and changing the battery with just a fingernail.

                                See? You don't even need to get a Fairphone for excellent repairability and update support, and that's literally at a much better cost than that overpricing brand.

                                    Screen replacement. They know where to get you lmao. Hope this 180-degree lover company doesn't DRM lock their spare parts.

                                      Pull tab is a joke. I just tried replacing 2 different phones' battery by myself. Pulled as straight as possible, holding the tension, all of them snapped midway anyway. After that, it was a struggle. What a BS.
