This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I support the idea, but I'm really skeptical. I bought the fairphone 2 when it came out and it just couldn't keep up anymore after 2 years. My understanding was that there would be upgradable modules but the only thing I got was a little bit better camera and case.
It would be great if there wouldn't be the need for more and more models but simply better modules to upgrade with the time.
I have a fariphone 4 since it was released and I'm very happy with it. It's does not have the most powerful or newest specs, if you only care about performance the price is pretty high, but you wouldn't buy one if that's your priority anyway and so far, it works great.
The concept is cool but I think it is more sustainable to have a high end "normal" android phone. The Fairphone ships with a lowend chip that is already older. It may be usable now but it won't be in a few years apps and OS will be more ressource-intensive. A high-end chip of a "normal" device (8gen1/2) is way more powerful and will surely be enough for the next 5 years. The SD750G will propably not.
Not to mention that the software updates will be more reliable on big brand phones.
ooooooh right in the middle of my moving to open source software arc too, could be fun
I love my Fairphone 3. This is great news.
Does anybody know if this works on Google Fi?
This phone, with e/OS, is my dream phone right now. Just need to wait for my iPhone 12 to die…in like 5-10 years :D
Wow I really wanted this, but I got a pixel 6a
Hmm
I'm getting vibes of early OnePlus or Nexus devices and what they were aiming for. Pretty cool!
I have it and I'm pretty happy with it, but for some reason I have dropped this phone way more often than any phone I had before. Idk if this is a me issue, but maybe get a protective case from the start (unlike me)
