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

As much as I like the Fairphone people, the phones suck for me personally:
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.
To be fair that's a problem with all manufacturers. But yes they should provide much longer support. At least 5 years. I'd also happily pay for an extended support after that if it's still working.
I'd love them to support the project more! Degoogling is still hard. GrapheneOS support would be awesome too.
I didn't get this trend in the first place. It looks ugly on all phones. Still they keep adding them like their life depends on it.
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? :)
