While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys’ opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?
We talked about this a while back. Curious if people’s thoughts have changed since then on the Fairphone 5.
I have the Fairphone 4 and I’ve been very happy with it. It’s not as fast as the top models, but I have no use for a fast phone and every app I need works perfectly. It’s been such a relief knowing I don’t have to buy a new phone because the battery or the port died. And I tend to drop my phone regularly, so it’s great that I can switch out the screen. I’ll definitively buy another Fairphone when the time comes.
How about they bring it to the US already? They’d be breaking their profit ceiling in a heartbeat.
With that said, if they do an FP4 and release it close to EoL, they’re not getting my money.
If I remember correctly it’s already in US, but there’s a retailer or some partner that sells them there which is not stated anywhere for some reason. Murena seems to have it. Not sure if that’s the one I saw first time.
am still waiting for it to be available where i live
Bring back the headphone jack.
My only wish is that they made a smaller version. I realize that that’s probably impossible, given their goals (smaller phones are probably harder to repair). But man do I miss small phones
I too would like a smallerphone as well. Bringing back the 3.5mm jack would be a bonus, but a smaller phone is higher on my priority list. Even better if it’s the same size as my old Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact.
