While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys' opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

And I give it a 0/10 on having a 3.5mm connector

Is that really that much of an issue in the age of USB-C?

[–] vardogor@mander.xyz 5 points 2 years ago (15 children)

my issue right now is that i use one of those charging + 3.5mm splitters in the car, but when they're both connected there's a loud ass buzz. a 3.5mm ground loop isolator works but made bass sound terrible. i'm probably gonna get an old phone just for music in the car 🤦🏽‍♂️

Even if they gave us a second usb-c port instead of a 3.5mm jack I'd be fine with that, don't make me choose between charging and decent audio
