Damn...
They're gonna keep getting bigger, aren't they?
The bigger they are, the easier they are to repair. So repairable phones in general are going to be on the bigger side.
Is it available in the U.S. yet?
recently launched in the U.S.
Does anyone with a Fair phone have time to tell me how it compares to Pixel? I have loved all of my Google Pixel products to the point I have lived with them for 7 years since their launch.
I like it. If Google didn't send me a new pixel 6a when my 5a broke, I'd have bought one right now. Hopefully these catch on and are still around in a few years when this one breaks. I'll get one for sure..
I would definitely get this phone if I can get it easily in my current location. Otherwise, I'll help reduce my smartphone usage impact by using it long term and give it to my family members after I get a new phone.
That's what I did. Used my ROG Phone 2 for four years before giving it to my brother in law and getting a Fold5 because of work.
I could live without headphones jack, but its thick and cost almost 2x the price I can afford. Id consider keeping it if I get it for free because I like the Idea of repairability
How did they fit in so many ads?
but muh headphone jack
