Fuck these guys... Seriously. I bought a phone off of them hyped at the idea of the ethics. It didn't work on arrival. Over 3 months later and not one single reply to my helpdesk request (other than the Automated acknowledgement of receipt).

Unbelievably bad user experience, I went from hyped at the concept of reducing my production of electronic waste to beyond disappointed at a brutally bad user experience.

Then to make matters worse, it is difficult to source spare parts for the fairphone 4 (according to a friend of mine who owns one that he bought a while ago)... Like is that not the entire point of the phone, reduced consumption of new phones by supporting repairs. If you're going to stop producing the spares at least release the patents then.. if you really believe in the promoted ideals that you spout... Which they clearly do not.

It turns out that it's just another money hungry company hell bent on burning the planet down to see a line go up, as far as I'm concerned. All gaff to sell shite phones at higher prices.

Do not buy.

The GrapheneOS team makes their hardware security requirments very clear.

Its up to the hardware manufactures to include a few additional components used for securely storing keys, so far Google Pixles are the only consistent line of products that do so.

foxxcon? you mean the same company that had a mass suicide from workers jumping off the buildings?

edit: sorry wasn't a mass suicide just dozens and dozens of people killing themselves because of the working conditions at foxxcon.

it's hard to find details about the mass protest with the threat of suicide because there's so many other single suicides at foxxcon.

If you're using a pixel or apple phone I wonder if you're using a phone that one of those workers put together

Of course they are going to offer dongles too! The profit margins are way better on those. Fuck what the users want, we want money!

Did some digging, but it doesn't appear the band compatibility with US carriers is improved at all. Am I wrong here?

e/os is still android, i think he means Linux, and other OSes ! ️

No earphone jack again. That's a bit sad. Even though I mainly use BLT earbuds, I still sometimes wish I could use my wired headphones. It's just a small inconvenience

And an attack on his character is of zero relevance to the topic of Fairphone and jack ports.

You can find adapters that can charge while still having a 3.5mm back

The to make matters worse, they’ve already stopped producing spare parts for the fairphone 4

What's this then?

From their own site it would seem they don't. There is a "US" version but you can't buy a Fairphone from the website directly.

What do you mean with stopped producing spare parts for FP4? They are still widely available

couse the other guy said that the parts are not manufactured anymore

What are you talking about? I exchanged multiple mails per day when I had a problem.

Also as others have mentioned, the parts are still available on their website.

Your comment made me laugh! There’s no need to criticize the company if you’re having a bad day or don’t like it. It only takes a minute to check their website for spare parts. Most likely, it’s your local shop that’s out of stock, not Fairphone itself.

Spare parts for your Fairphone, discover them here

Yes, you can repair the Fairphone yourself by ordering spare parts (modules) directly in our shop.

i mean the bezels together are less than 1cm. and the notch takes space from notifications, with two sim cards and a vpn active that shit overflows instantly anyway.
