They try to produce them as sustainable as possible. You can replace the battery and other parts. And you support an European company!

It would be so awesome if they’d release a smaller, maybe like a 5.5 inch phone. I have big hands and still often struggle.

Their position on this is that they are too small to run two product lines in parallel, so they focus on what the majority of customers want. And that's unfortunately not smaller phones :(

That's so unfortunate. I'd still rather buy their phones than supporting Apple or any other soulless corporation. Even if they have the perfect phone

Definitely, but then again, it's not like the soulless corporations have any smaller phones. My current phone is a shiftphone, at least that is designed for working with LineageOS out of the box.

Interesting. Haven't heard about them. Would you be ready to post a link to them into the community? :)
