I have the Fp5 and the only thing that i miss is the headphonejack. Everything else is there: battery which can be just swapped expendable storage easy to repair the parts are also reasonably priced permalink fedilink source parent [–] ahornsirup@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) Sure, but the Fairphone 5 is €700 and, ease of repair aside, you can get a better phone for less than half the price. Repairability doesn't mean much when buying a cheaper (and otherwise better) phone and fully replacing it ends up being, well, cheaper. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] zilla@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago I get your point. But it's also about support for the phone and the fair production. I know they are not perfect, but someone needs to start somewhere. I needed a new phone anyway and invested in this one. permalink fedilink source parent
