If people are buying this instead of other repair-oriented brands like Fairphone, then they're not concerned about repairability but price.

They could be concerned about both.
I'd love to buy a Fairphone. But sadly it is behind in so many features,that I simply can't.
-no water proof (sadly a requirement in my profession)
-no wireless charging (why? just why? There is no good reason for them to not include that, especially as it is finally adopted by a lot of spaces, e.g. in airline seats,etc.)
- mediocre camera
I counted the days towards Fairphone releasing the featureset of the Fairphone 5 and was so disappointed.
I am up for other recommendations, though.The first person to name google will be downvoted,though. I literally wrote my lawyer yesterday as they are treating service cases in a illegal manner.
Waterproof and repairability are really at odds.
pc watercooling blocks are mostly just orings sandwiched in grooved plates and screwed together. leaks are usually elsewhere. hardest part would probably be accomodating ports. we could even be totally cursed and make it wireless charging and bt audio only and fully seal it and have no speakers.
They really aren't: it's just going to add a little thickness, weight, and cost to the phone. Screws and gaskets aren't exactly rocket science.
Yeah,but it's possible - maybe not everything,but for a lot of components it is possible.
Fairphone isn't available in many parts of the world. CMF's sales are boosted a lot by it's presence in India where Fairphone is not an option.
I don't understand the point of this phone. Why are idiots flocking to it?
I haven't seen any flocking. And idiots certainly still have their regular brands.
I mean, 100k phones is quite a few phones...
Cheap?
There's no shortage of cheap devices from other well known brands though?
Does this phone have an SD card and headphone jack?
If not then I'm not buying it.
we should be asking for nvme at this point
Tbh I have an ipod classic and I don't use it as much as I would like even having a good set of cans because the wire becomes annoying to me after short time so I'm actually going to mod it to add Bluetooth
