  Too expensive for the hardware provided in my opinion.

    You definitely pay a premium for repairability and ethics, but IMO it’s worth it. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

      For many, but I already know how to fix my phones and have all the equipment to do it. Plus, re0airabilith is slowly starting to leech back into the market by means of being forced into it by the government.

      Personally, I just want my damned microsd card slots back. I’ve been a samsung note fan for ages because I like the s pen. I’m currently using the last one made with a card slot. The n 20 ultra.

      HTC just came back from the android grave and released a nice mid tier phone with a headphone jack and an SD card slot for just $600, but im not ready to give up my s-pen yet. My phone will still be plenty good for the next couple of years, and I’m hoping a company like HTC makes a successful comeback with card slots. I’m more willing to give up my s pen than give up my storage slot.

        The fp5 has a SD-Slot btw.

        But yeah, I’m also hoping for more repairability in phones, however if you want to buy a new one in the next 2 years I seriously doubt that major manufacturers will have DIY repairable phones by then.

      True, if I had the money to spare I’d definitely consider it. I could only afford to buy my current phone pre-owned as well.
