If people are buying this instead of other repair-oriented brands like Fairphone, then they’re not concerned about repairability but price.

They could be concerned about both.

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.

Waterproof and repairability are really at odds.

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.

They really aren’t: it’s just going to add a little thickness, weight, and cost to the phone. Screws and gaskets aren’t exactly rocket science.

Yeah,but it’s possible - maybe not everything,but for a lot of components it is possible.

Fairphone isn’t available in many parts of the world. CMF’s sales are boosted a lot by it’s presence in India where Fairphone is not an option.

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.

There’s no shortage of cheap devices from other well known brands though?

Tbh I have an ipod classic and I don’t use it as much as I would like even having a good set of cans because the wire becomes annoying to me after short time so I’m actually going to mod it to add Bluetooth

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.

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…

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.
