Comment on Ifixit gives fairphone 5 a 10/10 on repairability and maintanence
DacoTaco@lemmy.world 9 months agoReasons not to buy it that ive seen so far :
- ok specs, not intended for heavy apps like emulators
- expensive
- no headphone jack
- very limited usage in us ( no full us release besides the /e/os release with limited bandwidth support )
My personal opinion is that if you can flash a rom, you might as well get a fairphone if you ok with the price. Fairphone is a bit behind on updates, but lineageos fixes most of that (specially once they release android 14 )

I’m in Europe, so the problems with coverage shouldn’t be an issue here, as far as I’ve seen.
As mentioned, I’m a bit miffed about the headphone jack, but I guess I can live with it if their Bluetooth chip is optimized for audio.
I also don’t use emulators, so yeah, I guess there’s very little reason for me to avoid Fairphone.
