Comment on Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets

I def think the lack of devices with an aux port is an issue. Honestly the market is too samey right now. Everything that comes out just follows whatever design the last big phone. Evey phone just “has” to have an amazing camera, high resolution and high refresh rate screen, etc. I’m fine with aux ports, I just wish we had variety.

Yup. I don’t need an amazing camera, NFC, under-glass fingerprint scanner, etc.

I just want a phone with:

5+ years of security updates

privacy-friendly (GrapheneOS, mobile Linux, maybe Calyx, etc)

basic phone features work well

all day battery life

fits well in my pocket - 6" seems like a good size

headphone jack

But because the phone landscape sucks, my realistic options are: Google Pixel. Everything else has much too short of software updates, has a huge screen, or costs way too much. I’d personally be happy keeping my Motorola phone if it got security updates, but that ended so I’m looking for something different.

I just want to make calls, texts, browse the web, and run a few apps (work MFA, Lemmy, mapping app, etc). That’s it.
