Thats true but I was referring to it being useful for travelers or as a work phone. Just being useful when you don’t want to expose your personal device
Comment on Ifixit gives fairphone 5 a 10/10 on repairability and maintanence
oehm@midwest.social 1 year agoBuying this phone as a “spare phone” you very well may never actually need seems to contradict the point of it

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 wastechnologically obsolescent and physically decrepit by the time I replaced it. I’d like to see how many fairphones are still in use after that long.

You’re paying a premium to have a fucking dongle hanging out of your ear
