I don’t understand the point of this phone. Why are idiots flocking to it?
I haven’t seen any flocking. And idiots certainly still have their regular brands.
As a person who’s been using Bluetooth headphones almost exclusively for the last 5 years, 99% of them fucking suck regardless of the price range
I’ve had a pretty good experience with them, personally, but mine are a relatively expensive pair
But for wired headphones, usb-c headphones seem to be the modern de facto standard
How does it being 2024 justify not having a headphone jack. Most other phones competing with the phone 1 do have a headphone jack fyi.
Because smart people started switching to Bluetooth back in the mid 2000-s. Because wires suck big time. It’s 2024 now, there’s absolutely no reason to use wired headphones.
In my opinion this an amazing looking phone that I could use without a case, if needed just buy a new back and stick it to the phone. For me the only problem is the lack of NFC (no Google pay). Strange move by Nothing to not include it.
If people are buying this instead of other repair-oriented brands like Fairphone, then they’re not concerned about repairability but price.
I’d love to buy a Fairphone. But sadly it is behind in so many features,that I simply can’t.
-no water proof (sadly a requirement in my profession)
-no wireless charging (why? just why? There is no good reason for them to not include that, especially as it is finally adopted by a lot of spaces, e.g. in airline seats,etc.)
- mediocre camera
I counted the days towards Fairphone releasing the featureset of the Fairphone 5 and was so disappointed.
I am up for other recommendations, though.The first person to name google will be downvoted,though. I literally wrote my lawyer yesterday as they are treating service cases in a illegal manner.
pc watercooling blocks are mostly just orings sandwiched in grooved plates and screwed together. leaks are usually elsewhere. hardest part would probably be accomodating ports. we could even be totally cursed and make it wireless charging and bt audio only and fully seal it and have no speakers.
☹️ no nfc
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.
Isnt it free and very good?
