I'm still on my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. People getting new phones every year or two do it because they want to, they don't keep their phone in a case, or it got ran over or lost at sea or stolen.

My phone is five years old. Five years from now there will be very few Faiphone six's left in use. Why do you think they're already on their sixth iteration of phone? Can you upgrade the Fairphone two and make it just as good as the six?

Lol. Fantastic, but I gotta switch hands sometimes for my pinky.

Yep, I have an old iPhone SE and it's still working. This Fairphone has perked my interest as a possible replacement.
