I'm losing my brain cells looking at this generic design. Zero creativity.

    Design is ugly

      Anonymous, 18 Jul 2024Should be ip68Which highly repairable phones have an IP68 rating? The Fairphone 5 is IP55.

      This phone scores very highly in user-repairability at the cost of higher IP protection. Look how simple it is to replace the display for example, you don't need to remove the battery or any adhesive as on most phones: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/HMD+Skyline+Screen+Replacement/173728

        They forgot to take the phone out of the frame’s mold. 😲

          Should be ip68

            This is a nice phone to me. At least something new on boring smartphone market.

              Such a wonderful looking phone. Among the best in a few years. And it's well packed too, of course not for the spec hoarders.

                  AnonD-1040250, 18 Jul 2024How are they funding all these horrible handsets they are outing?And yet you can't seem to stop commenting about them...

                    AnonD-1040250, 18 Jul 2024It's awful Overpriced, maybe, but definitely not awful, regarding the specs

                        Screen bezels look like a Motorola or OPlus.

                        Colorful cable though??? Remember when that was rumored for the iPhone 15?

                          The phone hostels seems well built, but my past experiences with Nokia have been with buggy software, I hope these have that fixed

                            I like the cable

                              Don't get me wrong, the design looks cool, but I can bet it's at best annoying after a while, and at worst uncomfortable to use and annoying.

                                AnonD-1040250, 18 Jul 2024It's awful calm down, they don't force you to buy!! hehe, also for Black Friday its price will be reduced, for whoever wants it that is the opportunity to purchase it

                                      Is that a Square body and a Squircle screen?
                                      That's interesting. ᕙ⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠ᕗ
