No headphone jack means fairphone now encourage Bluetooth earbuds and electronic waste.
They're dead to me.
Dont get me wrong, Im pissed about the removal of the headphone jack too. But its not really their fault, or to be more precise: its complicated This guys explains it quite well

Thanks, now let me buy expensive components specifically for the phone
No offence but I don't think this phone will be any good in a few years because of the CPU choice.
If it's already sluggish now, what will it be like in 5 years? Unusable.
I'm writing this comment on a Fairphone 5 right now and it doesn't feel sluggish at all.
It doesn't seem to me like the increased performance of phones has had much effect on the actual experience for a while if gaming or content creation is not done on the phone. As a daily driver I think this phone will last me a while.
I mostly can't get over paying more for worse specs. It doesn't have to feel bad now but with 8 years of support it could very easily not feel good in the future. It's a $760 phone that benchmarks close to the Samsung A54 a $400 phone.
The selling point is the ethical value of the phone but it'll never top how much waste buying a used phone saves.
Other phones can be much cheaper because they don't care about slavery or child labor in their production line and don't support their phones that long

I'm on my 5th year with my Oneplus 6.
I suspect I'd I do a full wipe, a new OS and a fresh battery I should be able to keep it going for a couple more.
Phones plateaued for me. It runs fast. It holds more then enough data.
Camera is a little slow. I've been told to stop using the default camera app. But then the double click to open won't work.
Same, running a xiaomi mi 6 since early 2018 with LineageOS and it's still perfect for me. Sure, new phones have better cameras and screen but the difference is not that noticeable. I'm using a google camera app so that improves the pictures significantly so that compensates for my needs
This is exactly what I did on my OP7 (only 4 years old). A new battery, a new USB port and a new back (thank you OnePlus for the back in glass).
I installed another ROM... And the only drawback on that "brand new" phone is that the camera is slow and not as good than the stock one ( even with Gcam or others derivative).
Yep, Oneplus 5 with 6 years in use here.
Battery time is a little shorter but still enough for a whole day of intensive use.
Phone cameras have gotten better in the last years for sure but if I really want to make good pictures I use a DSLR.

That title sounds like what you'd say running a Kickstarter scam.. yeah sure its not good yet but if enough people keep preordering our not complete product eventually it will be good.
Yeah, but given that this is the fair phone 5, they at least get partial credit in my book
The Framework laptop seems to be doing well. Makes sense that if no one buys it it will fail. That's just how business works. I just hope enough people are fed up with current popular business practices to make these mainstream too.
I have had my fairphone 5 since October, and I am ~~contempt~~ content with it, ive noticed a few software bugs and made the customer support team aware about them and while I'll admit their responses are rather slow at times, ive never had a problem with attitude or unhelpfulness so far from them.
I will do what I can to genuinely keep this phone going until the security updates stop, being able to buy and replace the battery for a respectable 20 quid is incredible.
I'm also very excitied to see what 2027 brings as that is the year manufacturers are required, if they want to sell in the EU, to make their phones extremely repairable

Now that is something I did not know. Now I'm also very excited.
I expect these companies will still be on top even if they made phones repairable. Like for example, you can only buy parts from official store or else phone will not work
In America we're not making it to 2027.... especially if they let the orange gobbling loose.
Oh I'm sure that he'll personally put out his own fair phone. It will be the fairest phone, the fairest of them all! (His mirror told him so.)

i think you mean content, little bit different meaning than contempt ;)
Damn words sounding the same
