    Fairphone has a great approach and I would love to buy an EU phone with replaceable parts, however I’ve read pretty underwhelming things about their software support. in that sense, paying 90€ every 3-4 years to get the battery replaced on a pixel,would be a better bet. That,plus the pixel a variants are very competitively prices and you get huge bang dor your buck.

    I wish fairphones were cheaper…

      At its price point, it’s very underwhelming.

      I also did the math and I could get an average phone (used) every year for three years before I break even. And those average phones would be more powerful with each iteration.

      Unless you’re bought into eco-friendly minimal waste messaging, it’s really hard to choose fairphone.

        Yeah, I admit they cost more, but I’m not playing high perf games on it, so it’s absolutely fine - no apps struggle.

        And the eco thing has to start somewhere and that’s not something Google’s aiming for (afaik)

        Plus, watching other’s expression when I swap a battery to be fully charged in 60 seconds is great.
