I’m using this phone right now and I love it. it feels solid. Im using a degoogled ROM and it just works, there seems to be a lot of people pressing for graphene os specifically and discrediting the phone for what it is. its so easy to take apart and cheaply repair its great. it’s perfect for folk who want a decent smartphone that you dont have to worry about being thrown around. sure it’s not perfect but it is still a very great photo

  I use CalyxOS on mine. It has microG all working by default so if you need that sort of thing it’s probably the easiest way to get it up and running

What’s the cost to replace a cracked screen?

  You buy the OLED display as a spare part for 100 EUR on the official website. shop.fairphone.com/shop/category/spare-parts-4?ca…

    Yeah, that plus labor is 80% of what I typically pay for a whole brand new phone… I know why it is this way, but it really is this way and that makes it very hard for low volume players to enter the market.

    Smartphones of this price would be low quality, impossible to raelf epair, and very likely made with very poor social and environmental conditions. It’s the opposite of what Fairphone does, so the comparison is not possible.

    The heck are you talking about? If you change it yourself it’s still 100€. And you won’t find any decent smartphone at this price.
