[–] Chais@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (1 child) Unless it has comparable reparability it can hardly be considered an "answer to the Fairphone" permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tb_@lemmy.world 1 point 15 hours ago* (1 child) Repairability isn't the only thing Fairphone is about, it's also about, y'know, fairness in how it sources its materials. Which is part of the reason why said phones aren't cheap. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Chais@sh.itjust.works 1 point 15 hours ago (1 child) It's not the only thing. But you can bet that the 10/10 reparability score on ifixit is not an accident. It's great that other companies are sourcing their materials fairly, but if I have to toss the device after three years because the battery is dead and I can't swap it, or because the screen cracks, the speaker died or whatever, I'll take that with a grain of salt. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tb_@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago However, the combination of a replaceable battery, wireless charging, and a waterproof chassis is a genuine unique selling point in the mid-range segment. Didn't read far enough to see if the Gigaset is more repairable than that. I just wanted to add that Fairphone is more than just great repairability. permalink fedilink source parent
