I don’t get it, what’s the point in having removable back, screws, screwdrivers if you cannot remove and replace the parts.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

I’ve been planning on getting a fairphone next, and didn’t know they had a competitor, and then after watching the review realized they didn’t have a competitor.

features with a high degree of customizability - you can swap out the back cover, and also attach things like a lanyard.

Ooooh, a lanyard strap… That’s the sort of right to repair we’ve all been after.

It’s so silly. The back is removable with just a couple of standard screws. But the battery isn’t replaceable.

I have only ever had phones go bad on me due to broken screen, broken battery or lack of software updates. They aldo clearly know this.

Nothing phone is such a fucking joke there are 0 replacement parts available. I broke my camera a few weeks after I got my nothing phone 2 and your only option is to ship the phone to the UK. The advertise as consumer friendly but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

I was kinda hoping a modular phone would have a headphone jack module of some sort.

Non-removable battery and lanyard strap is enough I guess…

I remember almost a decade ago, the Oneplus 2 not having it was a major downside. I can’t believe we are still doing this song and dance.

I guess it’s main target is India where there is almost no need for nfc. Everything is paid through qr code here.

Near field communication - it’s an antenna that sits inside the back case and let’s your phone interact with payment terminals and the like that support it.

You can add your tap and pay card to your phone and tap your phone instead.
