Ten swappable spare parts. Eight years of software updates. Five-year warranty. This is Fairphone's most sustainable phone yet.

Looks like a new model for the Fairphone has been announced! What do you think about it?

Personally I love the fairphone project but after having tried GrapheneOS on my Pixel 6a it would be hard to move to a different OS

            In theory, but phones do soooo much with the NAND that I think it varies quite largely.

            I’ve struggled to get more than 3-5 years out of my devices, and its seemed to be the NAND causing the failure in my limited experience

            My galaxy S4 failed after two years and would go straight into firmware flashing mode when connected to a computer. Leading up to this, it was reallllyyyy slow. I eventually narrowed this down to the internal storage, and moved my apps to the SD card where things sped up again. It would also frequently reboot.

            My Galaxy S5 (RIP 🤧) failed after a good 6 year run, now it goes straight to recovery with MMC_READ failed sadly

            On the opposite end of things I’ve got an old Android 4 tablet from 2013 that still works perfectly fine, although I don’t really have any reason to use it, it’s kinda just existing as a time capsule.

              Thanks for sharing your experience :) Glad I never had such issues with my devices, but I guess it heavily depends on the specific device and the usecases.

              My current Op 7 Pro has also been running without a problem. But in case it happens I know what might be the cause

        Music mostly. I have over a terabyte of FLAC files stored on my home NAS and whilst I do have a Navidrome instance setup to stream it all, it’s not as reliable as just playing locally.

          Fair enough. Does a phone have a good enough chip to play FLAC to it’s full strength?
