Back in the day this was even better:
Original Galaxy S battery was getting weak? Order a new battery from Amazon for 13€. Battery arrives, pop the back of the phone off, pull battery out (just like that, no soldering), push new battery in. Push the back of the phone back on, done.
New battery in and it had more mAh than the original one. Despite overclocking that phone it ran a day longer after the replacement.
Fairphone sounds great but currently has a poor price to performance ratio
You pay extra because the materials were sourced through moral means and not sweatshops.
I for one like that feature.
I do too, but it's a hard sell for the masses right now. I want Fairphone to succeed but it's tough.
Their subscription program is even less competitive.
I only stick to my Note 9 (peak Samsung) because of stylus support that no one else offers. When Fairphone stars offering as awesome stylus support as Samsung does, I'm moving immediately.
I don't think they will, any time yet anyway.
Looking at how my FP3 and the newer FP4 is assembled, I don't think they can make a foldable and easily repairable device right now (didn't stop them releasing those unrepairable Earbuds, but oh well)
There's also the software aspect too
