I care less about the lack of a headphone jack and more about the lack of multiple ports

USB C is genuinely a great multiport, but all of these companies leave the phone with one port. People would care less if each phone had two ports, so you could plug in headphones via adapter while also charging

The lack of headphone jack is the sole reason I went with Samsung XCover 6Pro instead. Shame really, because I'm the kind of person who uses their device for +5 years, and prefer fixing stuff myself, but when Apple removed the headphone jack I made a decision to never buy a device without one if there's an alternative with it and I'm still sticking with that. I bought an "outdated" laptop aswell because the newer model didn't have USB-A, HDMI or a card reader. Ironically the most recent models now do.

you mean this strange old socket that is (at least for me) primarily used for collecting dust since almost a decade? yeah, personally I can live without it.

and this fortunately is not apple. You can use every brand of earbud and use all of the features, so I don't really get your point at all. the phone is very good and I hope I will be able to use it until the 30s

That was one of the main reasons I was interested in their phones :/

I miss that modular phone people went crazy about for a week or 2 until it died out

I agree removing the headphone jack is annoying, but I'm sure the Bluetooth works with any device that supports the format, not just theirs. Apple tries to push Apple stuff and they know their stupid user base will buy the Apple version if they have it, but I doubt the same is true here. If they had a wired and wireless headphone, would you suspect them to be trying to force you to buy their headphones still with the 5mm jack?

Yeah when I need to get a new phone I'm 100% getting a FairPhone. My last phone lived for multiple years past the security updates. All my phones over the years have died to some trivial problem that wasn't worth fixing (e.g. bad charging port). But a fixable phone with eight years of security updates? Sign me the fuck up. The only reason my current phone isn't a FairPhone is because they didn't sell in the US when I needed a new one.

I had to replace the USB C port on my Fairphone 3, took about €30 and 10 minutes.

In any other phone it would've meant getting a complete new device

Probably not your problem, but my completely different phone (oneplus 7 pro)has been pretty solid. But, lint and dust gathered into the port, making some of the plugs extremely loose to the point it would fall out from the weight of the cable... I took a needle and scraped out the compacted lint at the bottom. (avoiding touching the middle thing in the port. Good as new afterwards, even the one cable I've been using with the phone since 2019 which is pretty loose after use now, still sits without problems when moving the phone around.

But I'd definitely suggest cleaning it out if you haven't. Even the small specs you get out makes a big difference. My powerbank came wouldn't stay in, after cleaning it's more well behaved. But there's a clear difference in USB-c plugs and how they fit phones.

Are we using different websites? It's 700 euro for me, not 850. Also it's 5 year warranty and 8 years of updates.

I don't know of any high end Android phone manufacturer that promises security updates for >5 years. If you want to keep your phone that long or even longer, there are few choices unless you want to be vulnerable.

Also, I have no idea what exactly "more durable" is supposed to mean, but I'm very much certain that Apple's and Samsung's batteries degrade the same and their screens also crack when dropped. A replacement part and the repair will be significantly cheaper with FairPhone, especially for people who don't want or dare to do it themselves because of anti-repair measures by the manufacturers.

For reference, a replacement screen for FP5 costs 100€ and comes with straightforward instructions from the manufacturer. An Apple screen replacement will cost you 340€ and there are no official ways to get replacement parts or do the repair yourself. You have to pay half a FP5's worth just for an iPhone screen repair.

Edit: Spelling correction

I fear you'll be waiting a long time.

So... The Asus Zenfone 10?

Murena is selling the Fairphone 5 with the Lineage-based /e/OS already: https://e.foundation/leaving-apple-google-murena-fairphone-5-is-here-welcome-e-os-1-14-join-the-photo-contest-e-os-2023/

Postmarketos boots on fp5 but lots if things are not yet working. I think, the main contributor is a Fairphone employee https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_5_(fairphone-fp5) I can't find LineageOS development progress, but Murena look like they will be selling the fp5 with e/os which is customised LineageOS, so its probably making progress.

I mean I'm running a FP3 from 4 years ago and literally nothing changed. Phones don't magically get slower if they're not filled up with bloat.

I'm still rocking a 2017 phone, courtesy of lineage.

People are shocked how fast it is, not because it's old (they don't know), but because it's faster than anything they have.

Bloat, apps running for no reason, really slow a phone down.

If you use your phone like 99% of people do, it will be completely fine. If you don't do gaming or 4K video editing on your phone, there's no problem. The CPU will even be fine for Instagram face filters for the foreseeable future

Have you ever heard the terms "security update", "firmware" and "OS"? Then you should know why a "roadmap" or rather a support plan is necessary. Many other manufacturers aren't even providing concrete plans and simply stop providing security updates after just a few years.
