While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys’ opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?
That is a 700+ dollar “spare phone”. Must be nice. It seems like an ok phone but it’s so expensive that the sustainability angle seems like pretense. My last phone (Moto G4 XT1625, Android 7) was $170 and was technologically obsolescent and physically decrepit by the time I replaced it after about 6 years. I’d like to see how many fairphones are still in use after that long.
At $700, it’s too expensive to have a headphone jack too. You’ve got to buy those environmentally harmful wireless headsets to use it. For some reason, all the cheap phones out there have headphone jacks, but I guess we pay a premium for… Something.
You’re paying a premium to have a fucking dongle hanging out of your ear
